I am a registered Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from the University of Toronto and a Bachelor of Social Work from McMaster University. I am extremely passionate about perinatal mental health, children’s mental health, and supporting caregivers as they experience the many joys and challenges of parenthood. I have completed the Maternal Mental Health Certificate Training for Mental Health and Clinical Professionals, and the Advanced Perinatal Mental Health Psychotherapy Certificate Training offered through Postpartum Support International. I have a background of over five years experience in children’s mental health, including caregiver and family therapy. I have training in various therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Emotion-Focused Family Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Emotion-Focused Therapy. At the MomMe Clinic, I offer psychotherapy services to both children and adults, aged 7 and up.
I strive to create a non-judgmental and welcoming space for individuals to feel comfortable and safe sharing their experiences. I truly believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor influencing positive outcomes and success in therapy. Therefore, I focus on building strong, genuine connections with clients and working collaboratively toward their self-identified goals. I know that every individual is different with their own unique story, and therefore I draw from various modalities to explore and get a better understanding of the thoughts, feelings, and emotions that are impacting you. I look forward to getting to know you and being a part of your circle of support.
Sara is available on Wednesdays. For more availability, please contact the MomMe Clinic.
Hi, my name is Lana. I am an Osteopathic Manual Therapist and Bioenergetic Medicine Practitioner. I also hold a diploma in practical nursing and worked for Hamilton Health Sciences for 10 years.
This combined education gives me a greater understanding of medical conditions and how to apply this knowledge to my practice to treat you as a whole person and to provide personalized treatment for every patient.
Osteopathic treatments help to ease pain, reduce tissue tension, improve the overall quality of life, speed the healing of the body, and reduce the impact of illness in everyday life.
My goal is to help you restore movement and alignment within your body so that your body functions better and heals itself.

As a Naturopathic Doctor, I am fueled by helping people make connections between what contributes to their health and what does not and encouraging them to make choices in their days that make their lives better. Patients come to me with either acute or chronic health conditions and we set goals around how they want to feel and figure out what needs to be done to get them there. We do this work together by discussing current and past health concerns, food choices and digestive health, exercise and movement, medications/supplements, lab tests, stress levels, sleep habits, mental and emotional health, anything else that needs to be discussed, and then set some achievable goals. Sleep consulting is also a big and wonderful part of my practice that I started to focus on when my children were babies, and we were all struggling with sleep. I value sleep and I believe proper sleep hygiene needs to be encouraged starting in infancy. When we sleep well, we become healthier and more capable in all aspects of our life.
I am a licensed Naturopathic Doctor with the College of Naturopaths of Ontario (CONO) and a current member of both the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors (OAND) and the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND). I am also a Certified Child Sleep Consultant trained by The Family Sleep Institute.

As a physiotherapist with a focus on pelvic health and orthopedics, I empower women to take control of their health, stay active, and laugh often (leak free). I help people understand what is going on in their body and make plans to help them progress towards their lifestyle or exercise goals. My hope is to spread the word that pelvic health concerns are common, not so embarrassing, and not an inevitable part of aging or childbirth. With a strong interest in women’s health, I entered the pelvic physiotherapy field immediately upon graduation. My clinical experience has focused on women at all stages of life with concerns such as incontinence, pelvic pain during sexual activity, diastasis, and more. I also have significant experience treating adults with orthopedic injuries or chronic pain with complex health backgrounds.
It is my top priority to create a compassionate, sensitive, and relaxed environment for each client that they can share openly within. Treatment plans we develop collaboratively are client centered with a biopsychosocial approach and are based on current evidence and/or best practice.
