Our Story

About Us

Drs. Glen and Jessica Reed, our founders, witnessed the transformative power of chiropractic care in their families and friends chiropractic clinics growing up. That passion led them to establish Reed Family Wellness Centre in 2005 in Nanaimo, emphasizing proper body function and a nurturing environment for all ages. As their practice expanded, they aimed to contribute more to Vancouver Island’s well-being.

In January 2016, they realized their vision by creating The Wellhouse, a comprehensive wellness centre and pain clinic offering various integrated therapies under one roof, conveniently located at the intersection of Norwell Road and the Island Highway.

Move better at play

The skill of movement is just as crucial as breathing and drinking water. To learn to move, we initially play; however, optimal movement begins to elude most of us during our school years. We help you regain the physical freedom and playfulness of your early years so that you can play well into your golden years.

Adapt to stress

Our approach helps your body adapt to stress by improving spinal mobility and enhancing nervous system function. This is supported by adjustments and exercises that you can also do at home, to ensure that you achieve the best possible results in recovery.

I just love this team so much. I've been going to Dr.Glen since the spring for Chiro and have noticed a significant improvement in my symptoms, but even more it's just a warm and welcoming space. Would definitely recommend, especially if you're nervous about starting a new treatment program or just have general anxiety. They'll make you feel at home.

I can’t say enough good things about The Wellhouse. Dr. Jake is absolutely amazing he really takes the time to listen and explain everything in a way that makes sense. I came in struggling with back pain, and after seeing him I’ve noticed a huge improvement. The care is professional, the atmosphere is welcoming, and you can tell they genuinely care about their patients. If you’re looking for a chiropractor in Nanaimo, I highly recommend Dr. Jake and the team at The Wellhouse.

I've been seeing Dr. Glen at The Wellhouse for the past 2 years, and I can't recommend the practice enough. I initially came to them due to old injuries that finally caught up with me. I was experiencing chest pain that felt like a heart attack, along with hip problems, lower back pain, shoulder pain, and neck discomfort. Dr. Glen took the time to thoroughly examine me and discovered that one of my vertebrae in my back was missing a piece, which was pinching a nerve and causing my chest pain. Thanks to their care, I've learned so much about my body and my health. I can honestly say I haven't felt this good since I was a child. I'm grateful for their expertise and compassionate approach. I will definitely keep coming back — I couldn't ask for better hands to help me on my wellness journey.

I've had continual back pain postpartum, and Dr. Jake immediately knew how to address and treat my needs. I've been to him many times for treatments now, and always come away feeling cared for and like the treatment made a difference. The staff at the wellhouse have always been very friendly and welcoming as well!

Jake's my guy. He really took the time to listen to my issues and get to heart of the problem. I'm back playing pickle-ball and looking forward to having Jake watch-over my long-term progress. Super friendly staff at The Wellhouse!!!

Dr. Glenn reed and staff are so incredible! As a first time mom it was scary for me to bring my 7 week old baby to a stranger. But Dr. Reed made me so comfortable and I instantly knew I was doing the right thing. They are the most supportive, accommodating practice that I have ever been to. I won't take my son anywhere else! Thank you for everything you've done for us Reed family wellness centre �

I have used multiple services from Reeds for a couple years now. I find the staff to be encouraging, and look for my health (as opposed to only what's wrong with me). I feel valued, like what I bring is acknowledged. All around good people!

I recommend this clinic to anyone that asks me. I have seen Jessica Reed for almost a year now and wouldn't change a thing. It is amazing what they do to help me recover from all the hard training I put my body through. I can't say enough about all the staff members here.

Betty and I chose the excellent rating only because there wasn't a seventh star made available. So, we'll simply attest to the fact that our findings go beyond excellence! I'm confident you'll arrive quickly at the same conclusion when you do yourself a favour by checking in at Reed Family Wellness Centre.

I had the pleasure of inviting Alyssa Rose Horton, a member of the Reed Family Wellness team, into my grade 4/5 class to do a presentation on the importance of nutrition and how to make healthy choices. The presentation Alyssa shared with my students was extremely informative, relevant and engaging for my class! How to live healthy and nutrition are some of the most important concepts today's children need to learn, Alyssa did an excellent job of teaching my students how they can make healthful choices everyday. The "Power Smoothie" at the end was also a definite crowd pleaser! I would and will recommend Alyssa to all of my colleagues and hope that others get the opportunity to learn from her as well!
