Grant and Clare were inspired to create Balance Wellness in 2020. They saw that mental wellness needed a new kind of support. People needed a supportive space to explore and be introduced to services that included, but went beyond therapy.

For over 20 years, Grant worked in the Oil and Gas industry culminating in high demand management positions. While pleased with his professional success, Grant found the increased stress and time away from family destabilized his mental wellness. He personally experienced and observed various types of mental health strains within his industry. This brought an acute awareness that resonated with him to create a clinic that focuses on try to make a difference with mens’ mental health.

Meanwhile, Clare was on her own personal wellness journey. After years of chronic pain and countless doctor visits, she was introduced to the idea of the mind-body connection. Clare began navigating the relationship between her physical pain and her mental wellbeing which lead to expanding her understanding of wellness to incorporate the mind, body, spirit, emotions and energy.

Together, in 2022, Grant and Clare established Balance Wellness, a healing centre to support people navigate their options for mental wellness based on their own terms. Grant and Clare understand how beneficial it is to have a guide on your mental health journey and are passionate about making wellness services accessible to everyone.
