Kristen Burgess
RN Psychotherapist
Kristen Burgess is a specially trained Registered Nurse who brings a uniquely integrated perspective to mental health care. Her clinical nursing background gives her a deep understanding of how the body, brain, and nervous system are inseparable from emotional wellbeing.
Her practice is trauma-informed, neurodivergence-affirming, and veteran-aware. She believes that healing is not a luxury — it's a right — and that every person deserves care that truly sees them.
Samantha Hutchinson
RN Psychotherapist
Samantha is a specially trained Registered Nurse based in Petawawa, combining 16 years of nursing experience with therapeutic skills to create a holistic, integrated approach to mental health and well-being.
She welcomes clients of all ages — including children — and places a special focus on supporting neurodivergent individuals and families. Her approach is client-centred, collaborative, and rooted in empathy, tailoring sessions to meet each client's unique needs, strengths, and goals.
Laura
RN — NaturallyU
Laura is a Registered Nurse and founder of NaturallyU — a regenerative, functional, and aesthetic medicine clinic designed to redefine aging from the inside out. Her focus is on supporting how you feel and function as you age through an integrated approach that combines medical aesthetics, skin health, hair restoration, and joint and injury treatments.
Every treatment plan blends the science of regeneration with a thoughtful, personalized approach — meeting you at your stage of aging and focusing on what matters most to you. Her goal is to help you feel confident, supported, and at home in your body — so you can feel, NaturallyU.
