About Hannah
Naturopathic Doctor & Clinic Owner
Hey I’m Hannah!
My first priority, as your Naturopathic Doctor, is to make sure you feel heard and understood. I believe that is essential for us to build trust together as we work towards your optimal health. I want to make sure you feel comfortable talking to me about anything, so I create a comfortable, safe and judgement free environment in sessions. You can literally tell me anything and I will offer you acceptance and compassion.
My second priority is to make sure you know that I truly care about you. Your well-being and health are important to me, so I’m going to do all that I can to help you feel fully supported on your health journey. My main goals are to provide you with the knowledge you need and empower you to believe in your ability to heal. Then you do the healing. This is your health and your journey, so I want you to heal yourself and get all the credit for it. Will I help you and guide you along the way? Absolutely, you are not alone in this and I will be your number one hype girl/cheerleader as you walk this path. I'm also a big believer that laughter and fun are two of our greatest forms of medicine, so we may slide that into the experience as well.
Now - full disclosure - there is no magic, natural pill. Taking this road isn’t usually the "easy" way, but it really is so worth it. You deserve to feel your best as your complete, authentic self. My style of Naturopathic Medicine incorporates the mind, body and soul (in the ways that resonate with you). Yes, I’m a spiritual Naturopath - I’m into yoga, meditation, crystals, ecstatic dancing and reiki. All that stuff is my jam, but it doesn’t have to be yours to work with me. This is about you, so you get to call the shots on how we approach your health. I will never pressure you to do things a certain way, but do love a good discussion to better understand you and identify any potential blocks to healing.
I am very comfortable and truly love to treat all beings in all phases of life, so if this all resonates with you, I’d be happy and honoured to be a part of your healing team. I practice in both Orillia and Gravenhurst, so make sure you select the right location when booking.

About Amy
Registered Nurse, Psychotherapist
​
Hi I’m Amy,
I offer individual counselling and psychotherapy. In working with you I take an integrative, collaborative, and trauma-informed approach and draw from mind and body based techniques and modalities, both evidenced based and holistic. I have a special love for helping others explore their tools for resilience and healing, stress, nervous system regulation, emotional awareness and processing, and holding a safe space to work through whatever you are navigating. It’s important to me that you feel safe, heard and supported and I endeavour to do so in an empathetic and caring way. I will guide you to be reflective of your thoughts, emotions, and experiences, and see you as the expert of You. Whatever brings you to our sessions, I will meet you there. I graduated from the University of Guelph in 2000 and from York University with Honours in Nursing Science in 2004. In the past I have specialized in women’s health and chronic disease; counselling mental/emotional wellbeing has been a common thread. I have extensive clinical experience caring for adults across the lifespan in various healthcare settings. I have additional training in yoga, mindfulness, somatic psychology, motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioural therapy. Whether you are navigating anxiety, stress, low mood or esteem, relationship difficulties, loss or trauma recovery -I look forward to working with you on your wellness journey. Should you have a question, I welcome your inquiries to amy@amyfenton.com. You can directly schedule a 15 min free consultation call here: https://amyfentonwellness.janeapp.com.

About Max
Registered Psychotherapist
Hi I'm Max,
If you feel out of control of your feelings, I am here to help! I am a queer, neurodivergent therapist, and I bring a unique combination of biology-based and intuitive practices to my work. I am drawn to the deep work of psychotherapy, that goes beyond just listening and coping skills, into the root of issues to resolve them. I support people who are struggling in their relationships, who want to not just manage, but understand and resolve their feelings, and those who want more fulfillment out of life. I work particularly in areas like late diagnosis ADHD, anxiety, sex therapy, relationships and supporting neurodivergence.
With my background in both biology and psychology, I can help you develop a deeper understanding of why you feel the way you do. I strive to create a collaborative space where you can be your whole self without judgment. I understand how it feels to be stuck, to lack direction, and to be overwhelmed by big emotions without knowing how to cope with them.
​
You can book a Free 15 min consultation with Max or start with a full counselling session by booking with them at https://severnpsychotherapy.janeapp.com/ or reaching out with any questions to info@severnpsychotherapy.ca

Our Team at Renewed
Hi, I’m Emily!
As an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner, I believe in your body’s innate ability to self-heal and
self-regulate when given the right conditions. Using a hands-on, non-invasive manual therapy, my
practice focuses on restoring structural balance and improving motion to help you feel and function
at your best.
During your appointment, I’ll begin with a head-to-toe assessment to identify areas of asymmetry,
restriction of motion, and dysfunction to identify the root cause of symptoms you may be
experiencing. Then, using hands-on manual therapy, I’ll work on restoring proper function and
symmetry to encourage blood flow, nerve signals, and motion throughout your body. Each treatment
is tailored to you and may look different from session to session, depending on your needs,
discomforts, or pains.
I was drawn to Osteopathy because of its holistic, whole-body approach to health. Rather than
focusing on isolated symptoms or conditions, we look at the person as a whole—where structure
and function are closely related. My background in kinesiology and osteopathy has trained me to
think critically about the body and how to support your unique healing process.
Having grown up in Orillia, I am excited to be back in the community and look forward to supporting
my patients’ long-term health through lasting, therapeutic care. I am passionate about creating a
safe, supportive space where individuals of all ages can feel heard and cared for.

About Lindsay
Naturopathic Graduate
(Soon to be Naturopathic Doctor)
Hi, I’m Lindsay!
I’m an Orillia-born, naturopathic graduate and I studied at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. My philosophy when it comes to your health is that you don’t have to live in discomfort — bloated, anxious, tired, in pain… This doesn’t have to be your ‘normal’. I understand what it’s like to have your concerns minimized by the medical system, and I strive to treat you like the whole human that you are.
I believe in meeting you where you’re at, and also looking at the ‘bigger picture’ to understand how you got to this place. My goal is to help you navigate your current experience, while simultaneously implementing healthy habits + prompting self-reflection so that we can keep you healthy in the long-term.
Prior to my naturopathic studies, I earned both my Master of Science and Bachelor of Science degrees in Human Health + Nutritional Sciences from the University of Guelph. I really look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your health goals and live optimally!
