Drs. Glen and Jessica Reed opened The Wellhouse (formerly the Reed Family Wellness Centre) in January 2005 with the aim of bringing optimal health to Nanaimo families. Both Dr. Glen and Dr. Jessica grew up in chiropractic families and have known the benefits of chiropractic care from a very young age. In addition to offering family chiropractic care, they envisioned that many integrated therapies could come together under one roof to better serve their patients. Over the years, their team has welcomed Registered Massage Therapy, Acupuncture, Registered Counselling, Doula Services, Holistic Nutrition and Naturopathic Medicine. It is through careful work with each and every patient that all practitioners at The Wellhouse refer to each other for the patient’s optimal health.
About Us
Welcoming You To The Centre!
A Working Philosophy.
More than just a business.
Nanaimo’s Family-Focused Wellness Centre
From Babies to Baby Boomers.
Our holistic philosophy, in which we treat the patient as a whole being and not just their symptoms, applies to each family member. At The Wellhouse, we treat infants who are just days old, children, tweens, teens, pregnant women, as well as those lucky retirees (and that is not all!).
In order for one family member to become as healthy as can be, it is best to have family support as well. Family members and close friends are invited to be part of the healing process from Day One. Key members to a patient’s healing are invited to attend the Chiropractic Report of Findings and are also invited to our Special Report, which outlines why we practice the way we do. Children are always welcome at The Wellhouse. In addition, we have a family plan if multiple family members are under chiropractic care at once.
Expanded Centre For Greater Comfort.
Your comfort is of utmost importance to us.
After eleven years at our Bowen Road location, we were very proud to open our new doors at the corner of Norwell and the Island Highway. Six months of painstaking renovation resulted in a wellness centre that we are proud to work in every day. Our reception area is light and bright, with lovely wood features and even a warm fireplace. The kids’ area is sure to please, tucked away so kids can feel that they have a room of their own. The chiropractic rooms are roomy and look out on a garden lined with cedars. On the naturopathic side, the rooms are airy, bright and quiet. Upstairs you will find studio where our wellness classes take place. You are welcome to come visit to see the extensive changes to the former “Lenhart Building”!
