Our Story

Thrivology Health was created to offer a more thoughtful, whole-person approach to health.

​

​Through our work in primary care, we saw how often concerns such as weight, sleep, stress, and emotional well-being influence one another — yet are often addressed separately. 

​

We think of our work as the science of thriving: understanding the interconnected factors that shape health, helping our patients translate those insights into meaningful, sustainable change.

​

Our care combines evidence-based medicine with expertise in behavioural medicine, psychotherapy, and lifestyle strategies to support how you feel, function, and stay healthy over time.

​

​Our clinicians are trained in:​

  • Family Medicine

  • Obesity Medicine (Weight Management)

  • Various modalities of evidence-based psychotherapy, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

  • CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I)

  • Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

  • Motivational Interviewing (MI)

  • Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

  • Mindfulness-Based Eating Awareness Training (MB-EAT)

Our Values

Authenticity

We proudly lead with vulnerability and authenticity. We connect as human beings first, and physician-therapists second. We value genuine relationships with patients, each other, and our community.

Acceptance

We are dedicated to meeting you where you are, and providing a supportive space for unwanted thoughts, feelings, memories, and physical sensations you might be used to pushing away. We unconditionally value all parts of who you are, and aim to help you do the same.

Commitment

Rewiring our brain requires a committed effort to change our deeply ingrained autopilot habits and thought patterns. We believe in your own intrinsic ability to embrace change, embody emotion, and thrive in life through a dedicated values-guided approach.

Growth

We embrace and encourage growth. We want you to feel safe in learning new things about yourself, and empowered in unlearning old things that are no longer aligned with who you are. We acknowledge that change is often difficult but necessary for growth, and we are here for you through your journey.

Connection

We believe in a trauma-informed and heart-centered approach to life. Relationality is essential to our well-being, and cultivating healthy social connections is fundamental to healing harmful, conditioned beliefs. We are here to help you consciously foster a safe and supportive community that allows you to embody your authentic self.

In the spirit of truth and reconciliation, we gratefully acknowledge that Thrivology Health exists and operates on the lands of the Treaty 7 Peoples in Mohkins’tsis, also known as Calgary. This is the traditional land of the Blackfoot Confederacy which includes the Blackfoot from Siksika, Kainai and Piikani, the Dene from Tsuut’ina, and the Goodstoney, Chiniki and Bearspaw of the Stoney Nakoda Nation. We recognize all First Nation, Metis and Inuit Peoples across Turtle Island as the keepers of these lands.
