From Vision to Reality: The Dream Behind Our Journey

The Wellness Clinic was founded by a family doctor who believes that every part of your health and wellness is interconnected and can’t be properly managed in traditional health care silos.

At the wellness clinic, we offer a range of services designed to support your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. We believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.

We use a comprehensive, team-based approach to ensure you feel heard and supported.

Our Founder

Alise Gaiser-Edwards, a proud mother of two, was born and raised in Brandon, Manitoba. Her curiosity and determination to dig deeper have shaped her career as a healthcare provider. While she strongly believes in evidence-based care, Alise’s passion lies in taking it a step further by educating and empowering her patients to make informed decisions, particularly in the areas of women’s health and mental health.

Alise holds a Bachelor of Science (Honours) from Brandon University and earned her Doctor of Medicine from the University of Manitoba. She completed her Family Medicine residency in Brandon, through the University of Manitoba's Family Medicine Residency Program, and now serves as a primary preceptor for both family medicine residents and medical students - something she takes great pride in.

Alise's personal experiences have played a significant role in her journey. Early in her career, she struggled with burnout and later with postpartum anxiety, which she eventually discovered was linked to undiagnosed ADHD. The lack of wrap-around services and holistic resources available during these challenges motivated her to co-found The Wellness Clinic - a space where patients could receive the comprehensive care and support they need.

Her vision centers around providing holistic, interdisciplinary care that addresses not only physical health but also the mental and emotional well-being of her patients.

What We Stand For

  • RESPECTFUL, INCLUSIVE CARE

    Every person deserves to feel seen, heard, and safe. We honor diverse identities, lived experiences, and values—because healthcare should be a space where you are respected just as you are.

  • PROACTIVE, WHOLE-PERSON HEALTH

    We don’t just treat symptoms—we treat you. Our care looks at the full picture: physical, mental, emotional, and social health. Because true wellness isn’t reactive—it’s preventative, intentional, and empowering.

  • MENTAL HEALTH AND PHYSICAL HEALTH ARE ALL IN ONE

    Your mind and body are deeply connected. That’s why we integrate mental health into every aspect of care—whether it’s therapy, hormone balance, sleep, movement, or nutrition. It’s all connected, and it all matters.

  • COLLABORATION - A UNIFIED TEAM

    Instead of working in silos, we’re breaking them down. Our team-based approach ensures you’re heard, seen, and supported—all in one place.

    We believe no one practitioner has all the answers. That’s why our team works together to give you a comprehensive and effective care plan.

  • GROWTH - FOR OUR PATIENTS AND OURSELVES

    We believe health is a journey, not a destination. As providers, we’re always learning. As a clinic, we evolve with new research and best practices. As a patient, you grow with us, step by step, at your own pace.

  • COMPREHENSIVE WELLNESS

    Wellness isn’t one-dimensional. It includes everything from mental health to digestion, movement to relationships. We combine evidence-based medicine with integrative approaches to support your full self—helping you find real, lasting vitality.

  • CONNECTION

    Healing happens through connection. We foster meaningful relationships—with you, within our team, and in the community—so you feel supported, seen, and empowered. Because feeling connected is a form of medicine too.

  • COMMUNICATION

    We don’t just talk—we listen. Across our team, clear communication means nothing gets missed, your care is truly collaborative, and you’re always part of the conversation. That’s how we build trust and deliver better outcomes.

  • EDUCATION

    Knowledge is power. We stay up to date so your care is rooted in the latest science and best practices—and we make sure you’re informed too. Our goal? To help you understand your health and feel confident managing it.

  • EMPOWERMENT

    You are the expert of your own life. We’re here to support you, not tell you what to do. Our role is to give you the tools, knowledge, and support to take charge of your wellness—with confidence and clarity.
