Steph
Registered Nurse, BScN
Hi I'm Steph! I studied at RDP and completed my Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2021. I did my final placement in emergency, and have been working there ever since. Now I get to bring some of the aspects I enjoy about my career in emergency nursing - health promotion and education. I enjoy working at Restore Wellness because I have the time and space to discuss clients on healthy living and vitamin therapy. It is my goal to make your treatments comfortable.

Tamara Hedley
Credentials: NTP, MBCE
I’m a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner with additional training in blood chemistry analysis. My work is rooted in understanding the why behind your symptoms - not just managing them.
I take a root-cause approach to health, combining functional lab assessments, nutrition, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle strategies to identify imbalances early and support the body’s natural ability to heal. Every recommendation is tailored to the individual.
My focus with bloodwork analysis is in preventative health - catching what’s going on before it develops into disease. By using data from lab work and translating it into clear, actionable steps, I help clients make sense of what their bodies are trying to communicate and create a plan that supports healing, balance, and long-term wellbeing.
