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.
