DR. JESSICA DEE
Chiropractor & Clinic Director
I grew up in Orono and attended school in Newcastle and Bowmanville, I was also heavily involved in the community through the Orono Girl Guides Association; I am so thrilled to serve my hometown!
I have worked with organizations like the UOIT Ridgebacks hockey team and the Whitby Dunlops Senior A men's hockey team as an athletic trainer. I graduated from UOIT with a Bachelors' degree in Health Sciences (Honours), specializing in Kinesiology before attending CMCC in Toronto to become a Chiropractor. I have been drawn to the Chiropractic profession since I was a kid, I even did a speech on backpack safety in the 8th grade! After injuring my back in university and seeking care from a Chiropractor, I was sold.

I love helping people move better & recover from injuries. I have experience treating pain in the back, neck, shoulders, knees, hips, ankles, wrists, and have a special interest in helping women tackle pregnancy related discomfort. I am also trained to provide baseline concussion testing, as well as, assess and treat patients post-concussion.

STEFANIE WOOD
Registered Psychotherapist
My experience enables me to offer individualized and effective psychotherapeutic care with a unique passion for mindfulness and the highly sensitive person. As a therapist, I bring a holistic perspective to mental health and well-being and I treat individuals struggling with life transitions, religious trauma, ADHD, depression, anxiety, phobias, corporate burnout, gaslighting, religious trauma, and other related mental health concerns. I offer cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), as well as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and I am well versed in the highly sensitive person theory. As a yoga and meditation teacher, I draw inspiration from Eastern philosophy and I understand the relationship between mind and body.
You can expect a person-centered, collaborative, and holistic therapy experience during our sessions. I offer support for effective change utilizing a variety of mental health strategies. Together, we can find the right tools and resources necessary for you to feel more tuned into your own personal rhythm and harmony.

Anyone who is reading this looking for support needs to be commended on their strength and courage in reaching out. My role is to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space for you to have meaningful and insightful conversations about your feelings, and discuss problems openly and honestly. By having a safe and supportive space, together we can explore the challenges you are going through and set achievable goals and develop healthy effective coping strategies. When you create skills to deal with difficult situations it allows you to be your best self and to be able to work through future challenging situations.
I have been supporting individuals with both Mental Health & Addiction related concerns for 20+ years both in the community and hospital-based settings. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the CRPO since 2017 and have a special interest in strength-based, solution-focused approaches to psychotherapy with transitional-aged youth and adults.

SHANNON LAW
Registered Massage Therapist & FST
My journey into Massage Therapy has been years in the making. Driven by the desire to promote healthy active living, my focus has been on strength, conditioning and mobilization. But there was a missing piece to the puzzle - the ability to provide healing, recovery and pain management. I found the majority of my clients were seeking programs based on pre- or post-surgery, and there were countless inquiries on how to work around an injury. I felt the limitations of my scope of practice. It sparked a fire in me. It wasn't enough to provide an exercise. I wanted to provide treatment plans that would make a positive impact on my client's well-being beyond the walls of a fitness facility.
With a background in Personal Training and Fascia Stretch Therapy, I can apply my knowledge of exercise science and anatomy to each massage treatment. As a Massage Therapist, I implement a new skill set to assist in relieving muscle tension and reducing stress. I am looking forward to building new balanced foundations for each of my clients!
I am a graduate of Trillium College's Massage Therapy program, holding honours. I am registered and in good standing with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario. I actively participate as a member of the Registered Massage Therapists' Association of Ontario (RMTAO).
JACKELYN KUYPERS
Registered Massage Therapist
I graduated from the Massage Therapy program at Trillium College in 2019. I have always been passionate about helping people. I’ve seen how much of a positive impact massage therapy can have on people’s lives, and how it can improve one’s overall health and wellness. I have watched injuries, medical conditions, illnesses, and stress greatly improve through massage, and wants to continue helping people recover from these.
I use a variety of techniques with Swedish massage, deep tissue, trigger point therapy, relaxation techniques, and stretching to help treat each client according to their individual needs.
​
Along with massage therapy, I am also passionate about health and fitness. A lot of my spare time is spent at the gym, playing soccer, going for hikes, camping and spending time with my dog. I understand how important being functional and being able to move pain free is. I want to help my clients prevent pain/injury and improve mobility.
HILARY BEURLING
Registered Massage Therapist
I hold an Advanced Diploma in Massage Therapy from Durham College and have a deep passion for supporting individuals in achieving their health and wellness goals. With eight years of experience in the dental field, I bring a strong background in healthcare to my practice and am committed to leveraging that knowledge to benefit my clients.
As I transitioned into becoming a massage therapist, I realized that this path is truly my calling. The opportunity to witness firsthand the positive effects and improvements in people’s lives is deeply rewarding. Seeing the tangible benefits of my work and knowing that I can contribute to someone’s well-being reaffirms my dedication to this profession and fuels my passion for helping others.
In my leisure time, I appreciate spending quality moments with my dog, friends, and family. I also value engaging in outdoor activities such as camping and maintaining my fitness through regular gym workouts.
