ACUPUNCTURISTS
Negeen Aidun
Registered Acupuncturist (RAc)
At sixteen, struggling with overwhelming anxiety, I turned to acupuncture, only to disocver 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.
MASSAGE THERAPISTS
Sara Lund (Not Currently Accepting New Clients)
Massage Therapist (RMT)
My practice focuses primarily on TMJD (jaw dysfunction), head, neck & back pain, and peri-natal massage. I have taken additional courses in manual therapy for the TMJ, and in intraoral/buccal massage. I employ a trauma-informed, body-positive approach, recognizing the potential impact of past experiences and creating a calming environment that prioritizes sensitivity and empowerment.
Abby Delarge (Accepting New Clients)
Massage Therapist (RMT)
I bring a calm, welcoming presence to each session and take pride in the fact that I get to be a part of somebody’s health and wellness journey. I aim to make my clients feel better both physically and mentally with each treatment. I take a special interest in lymphatic massage and chronic pain management. I also have a strong skill set in deep tissue massage.

Keara Dean
Registered Social Worker (BSW, RSW)
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.
Marie-Christine Bois
Registered Social Worker (MSW, RSW)
I strongly believe that every person is a worthy, capable human being with strengths of their own. Together, we will work on uncovering and developing your skills, strengths and what matters to you, with the end goal to be better equipped to face life’s challenges and live a more fulfilling life.
Jennifer Accursi

NATUROPATHIC DOCTORS
Amira Abdelaziz
Naturopathic Doctor (ND)
I'm passionate about empowering others to live with clarity, vitality, and equilibrium. My focus lies in the foundational pillars of health: gut health, mental well-being, hormonal equilibrium, and metabolic vitality. Let's partner up and navigate your health journey together, uncovering the transformative potential of holistic wellness.
Shelley Burns
Naturopathic Doctor (ND)
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.
SUPPORT GROUP LEADERS
Erin Fernie
Support Group Leader
It has taken me years to accept just how much my endometriosis dictates my life. In 2019 before facing a thoracotomy for another congenital disorder - an aberrant right subclavian artery -I decided to walk away from my film career and shift all my focus onto my health. It continues to be the best decision I have ever made. While it feels like I am physically decaying, my mental health is thriving as I research and interact more with the endometriosis and chronic health communities. I am excited and honoured to be working with Femade to help set the new standard of care for those with chronic pain and invisible illnesses.
Fiona MacDonald
Support Group Leader
I struggled with infertility for 5 years and reoccurring pregnancy loss. The time spent trying to conceive can be extremely lonely and isolating. I was lucky enough to find an amazing community of warriors through social media, and together we supported and lifted each other up when the dark days felt too much.
My hope for this group is to create a sense of community where it’s a safe space to share all the experiences that come along with expanding our families.
