Sharon Blady
Mental Health Coach
"I draw from my lived experience of Anxiety, Bipolar 2, PTSD, ADHD, Postpartum Depression, and surviving Suicidality, along with training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Peer Support, Mental Health First Aid, Psychological First Aid, and as a student of the neuroscience research of Daniel Goleman, Richie Davidson, and Gabor Mate.
My lived experience ranges from being a single mom on social assistance to managing a $6 billion Health Department budget while Manitoba's Health Minister: I've survived domestic violence, cancer, a decade in politics, and the life of an entrepreneur. All of these experiences inform how I coach others to achieve success in their lives and their mental health.
My programs & services are for people who believe there’s a better way to understand Mental Health.
I work with people who want the opportunity to find assets where we too often believe only liabilities exist and are open to new and engaging methods. I take mental health seriously but believe we can have fun as we learn and grow together.
I promise that engaging with me will help you see Mental Health differently and from a perspective where you gain greater self-knowledge and self-compassion and the empathy and insight to better support others with lived experience."

Holistic Nutrition
My name is Francesca Ortepi,
I am a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and Certified Wellness Coach Practitioner.
I am also a Yoga Teacher & Registered FullScript Practitioner providing care for my patients across the globe since 2018.
I am a longstanding member of The Association for Business Psychology and International Coach Federation.
I combine theory from being a Registered Holistic Nutritionist alongside my Coaching Psychology studies to help all my patients overcome resistance to change by using a step by step, structured approach through either food and healthy eating or behavioural pattern awareness.
As a certified Holistic Nutritionist through the Canadian Association of Natural Nutritional Practitioners. I also want to be able to provide nutritional counselling to my clients to complete the wellness mind, body, soul philosophy. The Ayurvedic way of living.
I have forged some amazing partnerships around the globe to bring my patients the best quality holistic products out there, and ones I use daily and believe in.
I am a passionate woman who grew up in a hardcore Italian family full of love, big meals and loud voices.
I spent most of my days around my family growing up and attending or hosting some pretty large family gatherings all revolving around healthy food, knowledge and wisdom.
I get so excited and fired up when I talk about food and about health and wellness.
I live, eat, breathe, sleep, nutrition and positive mindset beliefs. It has been instilled in me since I was a little girl and then more so when I was older and spent a lot of time with my father before he died of cancer in 2017.
I believe that you don’t get what you cannot handle, and I feel like I was given such great opportunities to be able to share my story with you, it is unbelievable in its own self. That rang true to me, especially in 2018, when I was partially paralyzed from a car accident in 2016. I pushed through taking care of my dad for a full year with my mom, for the last year of his life, that I didn’t even realize that my body was literally shutting down on me.
So, I get it…the struggle is real. After my spine surgery in April 2018, I was bed bound for 2.5 months and gained over 30lbs. That threw me into a tailspin to do whatever it takes to get my body healthy again and led me into the journey of food and my mindset.
So, I do know what it is like to gain weight, lose weight, gain weight and lose weight. Being a former model and knowing the trials and tribulations of eating disorders and warped body image issues. I have seen, and been through it all. This is why I know I can help you too!
It has always been my passion to be able to work with women and men who have walked a mile in their shoes and need some help and guidance as to where they are going to go next.
My motivation behind all this is my intensive 2-year certification journey and training; it has taught me to not only support and listen to YOU but also provide you with practical solutions and strategies to address these feelings, aid you in navigating how to let them go and/or live with them and to help heal certain aspects of your health and wellness for a better sense of well-being and life.
I want to help you with making a lifelong commitment to a healthier lifestyle.
I will provide you with step-by-step guidance, accountability, understanding and support while accomplishing lasting growth.
I love what I do, and I would love to get to know what your roadblocks, goals and aspirations are.
I want to help you if you find yourself losing interest in exercising and eating a healthily or maybe just need some guidance to get you back on track. Maybe you were gung-ho for a few weeks and then your get-in-shape determination quickly faded -- and you went back to your old, bad health habits. Don’t stress. I got you… You are not alone.
What if instead of making mega-changes with the all-or-nothing approach to weight loss and good mental health, you resolve to tackle a few simple changes at a time?
Let me show you how and guide you along the way to a happier, healthier you!
In Good Health!
Francesca

Welcome To
The Affordable Online Clinic
Welcome to the affordable online clinic by Wellness Association. We are pleased that you are looking to learn more about what we do.
First of all, Wellness Association is a charity and a not-for-profit-based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. We have been helping people access alternative healing options since the days when chia was a pet and hemp hearts were illegal. So, that gives you an idea of where we are coming from.
Simply said, this project is all about equal access to alternative health care services.
As successful as the health and wellness movement has been, there are a lot of people who are locked out due to the size of their bank account.
It’s one thing for someone to not prioritize their health spending. It is another to be left to decide between a service that can change your life and whether or not you can pay your rent.
Being a Canadian, I am bred to believe that those situations are fundamentally unfair, or at least very bad. So we should change that, right???
Solution!
We use a membership model that is easy to join. People who can afford to pay to support the clinic join at $5 per month, others can select a free membership.
Then we hire professionals from the major categories of health and wellness:
When a member is ready to make a booking they can choose to pay the full price, or they can apply for funding.
The association will supply a subsidy from 5%-95% upon request. The amount is based on ability to pay and impact. If we can make a big difference in someone's life that matters a lot.
Each subsidy is different and everyone can qualify as long as they are a member.
How do we do this, you ask? Remember we are a not-for-profit charity, so while we may be losing money on treatment, we still have fundraisers making up the difference, so it all works out in the end.
That more or less puts a bow on the whole idea. So, go ahead and see it work for you.
