Braden (Brady) Moore (he/him/il) is a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), registered with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. He has experience working within several therapeutic approaches including cognitive-behavioural therapy, narrative therapy, and solution-focused brief therapy, and mindfulness strategies. Braden is bilingual and can provide counselling services in English and French. Braden completed his Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University in August 2022. Previously, Braden completed his Bachelor’s degree in Education, majoring in French and minoring in theatre at the University of Regina in 2011, then furthered his education by attaining a Certificate in Performing Arts (Musical Theatre) from the Canadian College of Performing Arts in 2013.

After many years as a teacher, Braden began to notice the increasing need for mental health and counselling resources for both students and teachers, so he decided to dive in and take action to provide these resources and support by pursuing mental health and counselling as a profession. Moving into early adulthood, Braden struggled with his identity and the challenges of coming out to friends, family, and peers, though they turned out to be very supportive and accepting. Throughout his life, Braden has faced his own challenges in overcoming anxiety, depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Braden is an avid practitioner of cognitive-behavioural therapy in treating anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. He believes that negative thinking patterns and thought traps can be detrimental and lead to low self-esteem, anxiety, and other mood disorders. He is passionate about working with youth, young adults, and adults who are exploring gender and sexual diversity in their own lives and helping them to develop positive self-esteem, value, and worth in who they are, as they are. Helping people to reconcile their queer narratives in a heteronormative society is essential for healthy living as a 2SLGBTQ+ individual.

“I love what I do because I think that our life stories are important and I love to learn from the narratives of my clients while helping them to live healthier lives characterized by positive mental health. In the simplest terms, I am honoured to hear people’s stories and help them heal and grow.”

Through the exploration of narratives surrounding identity, self-esteem, and life experience, Braden helps clients reframe their negative thinking patterns and live a more positive lifestyle by recognizing cognitive habits that no longer serve them and replacing them with more adaptive notions of self worth, value, and positive mental health. It is important to understand how we think in order to improve how we think, recognizing thought patterns that no longer serve us, and reframing them to help us live healthier lives.

In his free time, Braden enjoys playing Dungeons and Dragons, performing and producing musical theatre, and spending time with his cat, Patrick. He loves geography, musical theatre, reading, and is a huge Harry Potter fan. Braden also mentors and volunteers with queer youth and young adults.

>There’s a quote I love that says “your hands are an extension of your heart,” and though it was written in regards to painting, I feel that there’s no better way to describe my approach to massage therapy.

Jessica loves helping clients improve their quality of life by calming the nervous system, easing acute and chronic pain, helping heal injuries, and educating them on how to manage their conditions on their own, after and in between treatments. She also prides herself on creating a room that is a safe space for everyone whether it be in terms of pain tolerance, boundaries, or emotions coming to the surface. Jessica loves massage therapy because she can “totally geek out” about anatomy, share human connection, and pass along the true magic of self-love and self-care, all at the same time!

When Jessica isn’t with clients she enjoys gardening, hiking with her wife and their dogs, and baking (ask her about her award-winning strawberry peach pie!).

Clayton’s life transitioned from working in industrial construction to massage therapy when he wanted to combine his passion for sports and the human body with his desire to help people. Competing at a high level in both wrestling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has helped Clayton understand the mind of athletes and he easily relates to them when it comes to self-care. Knowing how body work like massage, chiropractic care, and physiotherapy can improve a competitor’s edge, Clayton was motivated to attend The Professional Institute Massage Therapy, where he graduated with distinction in 2019.

Clayton has found that providing massage therapy treatments offers him a great sense of relaxation and focus. He hopes he can bring this sensation to his clients, as he believes that all massage therapy should be coupled with some form of relaxation to allow his clients’ bodies to heal. He also understands the need to really listen to his clients during treatment and be sure they feel heard with regards to their wellness.

>“I believe stress and anxiety is just as harmful to the body as any muscular skeletal injury.”

In his off time, you’ll find Clayton practicing Jiu Jitsu and taking his dog to the dog park. He feels honoured to work at Lead, which he calls a one-stop shop for wellness.

Tamara began to shift her career path into holistic wellness after completing her Bachelor of Education from the University of Regina and working in the education system. During her time working with people, both through the service industry and education system, it became apparent to her that many people could benefit from stress reduction and healing. In 2015, she completed her training to become a Reiki Master and hasn’t stopped learning since, attaining additional certifications as a Registered Canadian Reflexology Therapist and BodyTalk Practitioner.

After struggling with various health issues of her own, Tamara turned to holistic and alternative wellness and found relief and benefits beyond what she expected. Her interest and passion for learning about the connection of the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of health and our own capacity to heal was awakened.

>It is the greatest honour and privilege to be a healing catalyst. I absolutely love being able to see the shift in how people show up for a session and how they leave feeling lighter and more relaxed.

Tamara specializes in stress and pain reduction, illuminating the subconscious mind to create shifts and healing, awakening clients to their innate capacity to heal, and she is adding fertility and children’s services to her offerings very soon.

When Tamara isn’t with clients, she loves spending her time traveling with her family in their 1986 Westfalia, spending time outdoors, and she enjoys scuba diving and surfing.
