Hello, I’m Amira (She/Her) and my journey has woven a diverse tapestry. I’m passionate about empowering others to live with clarity, vitality, and balance. I focus on balancing the nervous and endocrine systems, the main controllers of your health. By exploring the underlying causes of physical and mental health challenges, particularly related to hormonal and mental well-being, I help you optimize your hormones to improve energy, mood, metabolism, and mental clarity for better overall health. My journey began as a dentist and evolved to a healthcare executive. I’ve navigated the challenges and rewards of high-pressure careers and understood the importance of seeking sustainable healing. It was during this journey that I discovered naturopathic medicine– Taking a leap of faith, I pursued a second degree as a Naturopathic Doctor. Now, the saying “Love what you do, and you’ll never work a day in your life” feels more true than ever. Helping others achieve optimal health through mind-body medicine is my passion. Personalized, science-backed approach. My methodology includes: * Nutrition | Herbal Medicine | Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) * Conventional & Functional Medicine Testing * Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

Hi my name is Jenn (She/Her).

Thank you for taking the time to visit us. Investing in your mental health and well-being is such an important factor in your life’s journey. I know that the concept of “therapy” can be intimidating, but I am here to provide you with a safe, comfortable, and non-judgemental space that will allow you to feel supported and empowered. 

My practice is strength-based and trauma-informed. I believe it is extremely important to recognize the interaction and impact between one’s mind, body, and external environment. 

Everybody comes with a past and present self that helped shape who we once were, who we are, and who we want to become. I do not believe that therapy should be a “one size fits all” approach, therefore I tailor sessions to accommodate my client’s unique strengths and needs. I encourage open and honest dialogue throughout the therapeutic process to allow for a client-centered and collaborative approach. 

You are the expert in your own life, I am here to utilize my personal and extensive professional experience and education to support, process, guide, and gently push you along the way.

Oftentimes clients are looking for guidance, a sense of calm, a feeling of relief, a place to feel validated and heard. Other clients have specific, targeted goals that they would like to work on through therapy. Whatever the reason, I will work with you every step of the way.

Some areas Jenn focuses on include: - Anxiety - Depression - Trauma and PTSD - Stress - Grief and Loss - Life changes and transitions - Self-harm and suicidal ideation - Teen population - Adult population

I invite you all to come home to your bodies knowing that we all have the innate ability to heal. I’m so glad you’re here, and I look forward to supporting you on your wellness journey.

I grew up surrounded by Acupuncturists, Naturopaths and natural medicine, however, my true passion for acupuncture began during my own healing journey. At sixteen, struggling with overwhelming anxiety, I turned to acupuncture, only to discover how profoundly it could transform my well-being. I saw firsthand how powerful this medicine was, not just for my mental health but also for regulating my cycles and managing my PCOS. I knew then that I wanted to help others experience the same transformation.

Beginning my professional education with a DEC in Sciences at John Abbott College in Montreal, I developed a deep understanding of the far-reaching interconnections between the mind, body, and soul. These foundational studies gave me a strong grasp of bodily systems.

I was also fortunate to work as an assistant to my acupuncturist for seven years, where I shadowed her and gained invaluable insight into holistic healing. In November 2021, I graduated with Honours from the International Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Ottawa as an Acupuncture Practitioner. I am a Registered Acupuncturist with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario (CTCMPAO).

Originally from Montreal, I moved to Ottawa for Acupuncture school, and I quickly fell in love with this city—so much so that I decided to plant my roots here. In my practice, I take a patient-centered and holistic approach, working with each individual to align treatment with their unique vision of healing.

My practice is a safe and welcoming space for everyone, regardless of age or gender, and I strive to create an environment where all individuals feel comfortable and supported. If you feel called to acupuncture, please don’t hesitate to reach out and see if we’re a good fit for your healing journey

I am fully bilingual in English and French, and my additional certifications include Cosmetic Acupuncture, Reiki, Cupping Therapy, Guasha Therapy, Tui Na Massage, Electroacupuncture, Laser Light Therapy, and Foot Reflexology.

I can’t wait to meet you and be part of your wellness journey!

Areas of focus * Women’s health, (fertility to menopause to pregnancy to postpartum) * IVF + IUI Support * Treating patients of all ages naturally and safely from newborns to the elderly * Mental Health, Trauma and Addiction * Digestive support * Pain Management

Hi there! I’m Dr. Shelley Burns, ND (she/her). I am originally from Montréal, Quebec but found my way to Toronto to further my naturopathic education. I have been in practice for 20+ years as a Naturopathic Doctor and prior to my shift in careers, I was a social worker, working with individuals with developmental disabilities and individuals dually diagnosed with a developmental disability and a mental health issue.

In my first 15 years of practice as a Naturopathic Doctor, I worked alongside medical doctors, consulting as a team, to offer the best advice from the medical and naturopathic worlds.

I completed the four-year program at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto, where I received the NaturoMedic Award for proficiency in Naturopathic Medicine. I hold an Honours Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology and Philosophy from Wilfred Laurier University, a Master of Laws degree in Health Law from Osgoode Law School and certification in Complementary and Integrative Medicine from the Harvard Medical School.

My passion for Naturopathic Medicine led me to establish the Naturopathy Act, 2007 in my tenure as the Chair of the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors and I currently sit on the council of the College of Naturopaths of Ontario. I supervise at the Robert Schad Naturopathic clinic (the educational clinic of the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine) and the Sherbourne Health Centre working with individuals who have been diagnosed with HIV.

As a Naturopathic Doctor, I have a special interest in precision medicine encompassing prevention and health optimization. I don’t believe in population health, so why should I try to fit you into a population you are different from?

I focus on the gut-brain connection and how it impacts hormonal, immune system, nutrient and mental/emotional health. My viewpoint is that your overall health is determined by your digestive system health.

My focus includes: - Digestive system issues including microbiome enhancement - Autoimmune conditions - Hormonal issues including perimenopause, thyroid and adrenal imbalances

When I am not in practice, I enjoy spending time with my dog PeggySue and working on my land. Foraging mushrooms, identifying medicinal herbs and attempting to make maple syrup are a part of this experience.

With all that said, I believe you deserve the best possible health outcomes and I look forward to being a part of your health journey!

Hi! My name is Keara (She/her), BA, BSW, RSW

I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the immense amount of courage and strength it takes to access care for your mental health. Just by attending therapy you have given yourself permission to be vulnerable. I am honoured that you would consider including me on your healing journey.

I believe in using a client centred approach to therapy, where the client is the expert over their own life. In this capacity, I will work with you to create a safe and supportive space that is inclusive, compassionate and empathetic. To accomplish this, I will help you identify what you want to explore, then guide and support your journey of self discovery. The process of working through emotional and physical pain is not easy. I myself am familiar with physical and emotional trauma, invisible illness and the experience of trying to navigate the traditional medical system. Together, we will explore the interconnectedness of mind and body and how, as individuals, our experience are as unique as we are.

Originally from Newfoundland, the ancestral unceded homelands of the Beothuk and Mi’kma’ki people, and mother of two, I have over 10 years experience in the field of social work. I am specialized in, and passionate about, gender-based violence, advocacy work with women, youth, 2SLGBTQIA+, BIPOC and oppressed communities, and social justice issues. I use a feminist, client-centred and trauma informed approach and apply aspects of nature-based therapy to ensure individualized care for each person. I am also an avid outdoor adventurist, forest wanderer, former competitive mountain biker and the healing powers of nature. I have been told I have a genuine energy about me, that is very kind. I believe in working within an inclusive, multidisciplinary, collaborative environment and am excited to be part of the Femade Team.
