Femade - Women’s Health and Wellness

Because its time we spoke openly about women’s healthcare needs

Femade offers mental, physical and lifestyle health services, in person within Ottawa and virtually across Ontario. Our allied healthcare options cater to the diverse needs of women, with a special focus on pain, reproduction & fertility, life transitions and mental health needs.

Meet Anusha

Welcome to Femade

I had a dream that every patient should have access to the care team of their choice, with access for day to day concerns and the in-between doctor’s visits. As a patient I worked tirelessly to curate my own wonder team, but even then it felt piecemeal having practitioners that did not collaborate on my care.

Femade is that dream come true. We are a collection of multidisciplinary practitioners that come together as your perfect circle of care. We work collaboratively through a trauma informed lens, to take into consideration all of your health needs that can be approached from an allied healthcare perspective.



The magic that happens in the background…

As your care continues and new services are introduced, our practitioners take the initiative to familiarize themselves with your history and progress, ensuring that each appointment builds seamlessly on the last.

Femade FAQ

  • Femade was created to provide an all-in-one haven for individuals who inherently struggle with issues pertaining to the female body. We love the female body in all its shapes and sizes. But we also recognize that our practitioners are exceptional, and we want to create a safe space for everyone. All are welcome.

  • None of our services require a referral, which means you can book an appointment with any of our practitioners depending on availability.

  • If you are in need of health, wellness and overall selfcare, this is the place for you. While we have curated a team of practitioners who are trained in working with patients dealing with chronic illness/pain and/or reproductive conditions these are not mandatory requirements to join our centre.

  • Unfortunately OHIP does not cover these services.

  • If you have private insurance please check with your plan to see what it covers. We can either direct bill and charge you for the difference (if there is any) or you can pay upfront and submit your invoice to your insurance policy.

  • At Femade we value your time and our commitment to providing quality care. If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please do so at least 24 hours in advance; cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice, as well as no-shows, will incur a fee equivalent to 100% of the appointment cost. While we encourage patients to wear a mask if experiencing any respiratory issues, all respiratory conditions still fall under the same cancellation policy. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in maintaining our schedule.

  • We do! You can find this application on our Fem-Aid Assistance Page found at the footer of this website. This program allocates $200 to a recipient who requires care but cannot afford it on their own. If you have any questions please let us know.

  • Many people have explored allied healthcare services like ours in the past, and are somewhat familiar with what they need. If you have never tried any of our services before and are curious how to start, you can book a free health consult with our clinic director to get you started. It's a casual 15min call to get the ball rolling.

  • For any of our services it is most beneficial for you to be comfortable. Please wear comfortable clothing.
