✨ Welcome to the team, Kara ✨

We’re so honoured to welcome Kara, Manual Osteopathic Practitioner, to Good Medicine Wellness 🤍
With a deep foundation in human kinetics, over a decade in movement-based care, and 7+ years of clinical osteopathic experience, Kara brings a beautifully grounded and intuitive approach to healing. Her work honours the body’s innate wisdom, blending hands-on osteopathic treatment with subtle energy work, intuition, and a truly holistic lens.

Kara’s journey into osteopathy was shaped by her own healing path - one that now informs the way she supports others in restoring balance, awareness, and alignment on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.

We are so grateful to have her multidimensional wisdom, presence, and care as part of our community 🌿
Please join us in giving Kara a warm welcome!

The Ontario Native Women’s Association (ONWA) is proud to announce the release of the 13th edition of the She Is Wise magazine, honouring the teachings of the 13 Grandmother Moons as shared by Elders of the Thunder Bay region. Today, on winter solstice, we embrace the spiritual connection and cultural significance this sacred time of year represents for Indigenous peoples.

At Good Medicine Wellness, we offer direct billing to NIHB for mental health counselling, so eligible clients with a band number do not need to pay up front to access therapy.

If you’d like to learn more about NIHB coverage and how it works, this is a great learning opportunity.

Mark your calendars – there will be a Non-Insured Health Benefits education session held Thursday, January 29 at the Mohawk Community Centre.

🙌 💜 🧡 🪶

"Reconciliation without accountability is just talk." 🗣️

In her recent op-ed for The Conversation, family physician and Director of the Queen's-Weeneebayko Health Education Program, Dr. Jamaica Cass, calls for real, sustained action to improve Indigenous health in Canada. She writes that reconciliation isn’t achieved through words or audit reports alone. It requires courage — the courage to transfer power, embrace accountability, and take action that truly makes a difference.

✨ Introducing Good Medicine Wellness Foundation ✨

We are honoured to share that the Good Medicine Wellness Foundation has been created as the non-profit arm of Good Medicine Wellness. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to support the healing of Indigenous peoples and communities.

Through this foundation, we are working to:
🌿 Offer cultural workshops and teaching circles to strengthen identity and connection.
🤝 Create healing circles that provide safe spaces for community, storytelling, and growth.
💛 Provide funding for Indigenous peoples who cannot access therapy through insurance, ensuring no one is turned away from the support they deserve.

This is just the beginning. With your support, we hope to raise funds to expand these programs and make healing accessible to all who need it.

Every contribution — big or small — helps us continue this work of cultural restoration, mental health support, and community care.
