October is World Menopause Month! Join us for our very first Menopause & Mingle on Saturday October 17th at our Manotick Location.

🗓️ Join Melody, RPN and Menopause Education Nurse, at Thrive for a relaxed and informative 2-hour small-group session designed to take some of the confusion out of perimenopause and menopause.

🌱 Together, we’ll explore what perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause actually mean, the common and not-so-obvious symptoms, and what’s really happening with your hormones.

👩🏼‍💻 We’ll also cover lifestyle strategies to support you through the transition, resources, and how to prepare for conversations with your healthcare provider so you can confidently advocate for yourself. Best of all, there will be plenty of time for open discussion, so bring your questions!

11:00 am | 3:00 pm

1mL dermal filler for natural lip enhancement and hydration. 💧

1mL of filler for jawline definition and support 💉

Tox for upper lip lines 👄

This treatment was designed to restore subtle volume and improve hydration in the lips while maintaining a soft, natural result. Combined with neuromodulator (tox) targeting the upper lip lines, we were able to smooth fine lines and refresh the perioral area.

The goal with every treatment is balance and enhancing natural features. The result is a hydrated, rejuvenated look that complements the face as a whole.

At Thrive Wellness & Aesthetics, our Peri/Menopause Wellness Program with Nurse Melody is designed to help you better understand what’s happening in your body and what you can do to support it.

This 12-week program walks through the major topics women experience during midlife — hormones, sleep, mood, metabolism, stress, and more. Sessions focus on helping you understand your lab results, recognize patterns in your symptoms, and explore supportive strategies for your health and wellbeing.

Not ready to commit to the full program? Individual sessions are also available, so you can focus on the topics that matter most to you.
Nurse Melody can also help connect you with trusted specialized practitioners when additional support or care is appropriate.

Because menopause isn’t something you just “get through” it’s something you deserve to understand.

You’ve waited long enough for answers.

At Thrive, we’ve built a nurse-led hypermobile Ehlers Danlos diagnosis patient pathway that actually sees you. From your first visit to your last unanswered question.

Here’s how it works:

🌿 Step 1 — In-Person Clinical Assessment
Your nurse conducts a thorough, hands-on evaluation of your hypermobility, joints, skin, and symptom history. This is where your story finally starts to make sense.

💻 Step 2 — Virtual Diagnostic Evaluation
Our Nurse Practitioner completes a comprehensive diagnostic review virtually. Together, both parts create a full, evidence-informed picture for diagnosis.

After your pathway, you’ll receive:
→ A diagnosis + clear next steps
→ Curated EDS resources tailored to you
→ A carefully vetted list of EDS-aware providers who get it

And the support doesn’t stop at diagnosis.
Follow-up appointments are available for post-diagnosis support — including access to affordable IV therapy and more.

Because managing EDS is a journey, not a one-time appointment.

Since seeing a lot of new faces recently I thought I would (re) introduce myself!

My name is Cara, the owner and founder of Thrive Wellness & Aesthetics. I’ve been a nurse for 12 years and have worked in many different specialities that eventually led me to what I absolutely love doing. Restoring confidence, with cosmetic aesthetics and advocating for women’s health.

After years of working in family medicine, research, acute care and bedside hospital nursing, my body could no longer keep up with the pace and demands. As with many nurses I faced burnout post covid and other health issues. Suddenly I became the patient searching for my own answers, and discovered I had POTS, MCAS and hEDS. In spite of the challenges, these experiences are what led me to creating Thrive.

At this point I have seen hundreds of women come through my clinic door, with similar stories of how the public system has failed them. How they’ve been gaslit. Labelled as anxiety. Psych problems. It’s just perimenopause. You’re just a tired mom. Of course you’re tired, you have kids.

But no one looking deeper for root causes. No curiosity. Just dismissal. Assumption. And so Thrive was born to make space for curiosity, where questions can be asked without tension or shame, and healing can begin.

I truly love people. And I love the conversations. The chats. Yes, I’ve even shared tears and hugs with some of you. Because we’re all human. We all want connection. To be believed. To relate. To feel joy. To be the best, healthy version of ourselves. To feel truly WELL.

For these reasons the current state of women’s health absolutely needs to change. I’m on your side, in your corner, and I’m here for it.

Welcome to everyone who is new to this page. And THANK YOU to all of my wonderful
clients, past and present. Heartfelt thanks for letting me be a part of your journey and care. Because I’m not just a nurse, I’m a (tired) mom, and I’m a patient too.

Low iron doesn’t always mean anemia, and symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, hair shedding, shortness of breath, and poor exercise tolerance can show up long before your labs are flagged as “abnormal.”

We focus on optimizing your iron levels so you can feel like yourself again.

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲:
✔️ Request your intake form
✔️ Virtual consult with our Nurse Practitioner
✔️ Personalized treatment plan
✔️ Book your infusion

No guesswork. No being dismissed. Just real support, guided by your labs and symptoms.
