Our Current Team
and future vision
The current Good Medicine Wellness Team offers services in mental health talk therapy, spiritual and energy healing, intuitive readings, and reiki.
In July 2024, we moved into our new building where we will have space to bring in other health and wellness professionals. Good Medicine Wellness will be a healing centre where community members can come to enhance their emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing in a culturally safe, confidential, and non-judgmental environment.

B Hope
Psychotherapist (Qualifying), Art Therapist
B Hope (she/they) is an art therapist with Scottish, French, and Māori ancestry, raised across multiple regions on Turtle Island. As a therapist, B uses art therapy as a means to help individuals deepen their self-compassion and rekindle a natural curiosity for life. Through creating a space that encourages non-judgmental play and creativity, B supports meaningful connections with community, ancestors, and oneself.
B has experience working with members of the military community, youth aged 9 and up, as well as individuals facing anxiety, grief, and trauma from both event-based and developmental sources. They work with clients on issues surrounding identity, relationships, and self-compassion. B’s therapeutic approach is anti-oppressive, anti-racist, decolonizing, queer-affirming, trauma-informed, ecological, and ever-evolving. They integrate values of belonging, self-determination, and spiritual curiosity through both Western and Indigenous perspectives, offering accessible, non-pathologizing safety and care. B’s approach, rooted in neuroscience and creativity, addresses the mind, body, and spirit, helping clients to trust and locate their inner wisdom.
Credentials
- Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Ontario Registered Psychotherapists (CRPO), Registration #17920
- Art Therapy Diploma, Kutenai Art Therapy Institute
- Professional Member, Canadian Art Therapy Association (CATA)
- Bachelor of Fine Arts, Toronto Metropolitan University
B’s commitment to providing anti-oppressive mental health care is deeply influenced by their cultural journey. Acknowledging a white-bodied, woman-presenting identity descended from European settlers and displaced Māori who arrived in Canada in the 1970s, B has felt the disconnect of being raised away from the Māori community and ancestral lands. Training as an art therapist, B recognized that providing genuine, safe, and supportive care would require a reconciliation with their privileges, biases, intergenerational traumas, and sense of belonging.
Today, after extensive spirit-searching, communal reciprocity, and unlearning, B proudly identifies as Māori, a descendant of Te Aitanga-a-Māhaki and Rongowhakaata Iwi (Nations). They honor the legacy of their ancestors and embrace traditions that celebrate resilience, courage, and joy in relationship with others and the land.
