The Wellness Clinic, a New Clinic Focused on Women’s Health will Open its Doors on November 1st in Brandon, Manitoba.
The Wellness Clinic Brandon (The Wellness Clinic), a new clinic focused on providing women’s health resources and family-wide mental health services, will open
its doors and welcome new clients on November 1st, 2022. Their Brandon clinic address is Unit 2-1711 Kirkcaldy Drive.
The vision for the clinic was conceived by two local, Brandon-based professionals in the healthcare field: Dr. Alise Gaiser-Edwards, MD CCFP, and Jenn Sherb, Registered
Therapist and Social Worker. Although they come from different clinical backgrounds, they share a passion for women’s health and mental health. Through their combined
20+ years of experience in health care, they recognize the massive gaps in women's health. From this, the concept of a holistic women's health clinic was born. After months of planning and preparation, they look forward to seeing that vision become a reality next month.
“I’ve always had a passion for women’s health,” said Gaiser-Edwards. “As a family physician with a largely female-based practice, my love for medicine, women's wellness, and empowerment came together. I recognize that medicine is only able to treat the physical aspect of wellness, which is why we have handpicked such a wonderful interdisciplinary team. Women face unique health concerns and will benefit from having access to a full team of professionals who understand these issues.”
Gaiser-Edwards has been practicing in Brandon for over six years. A few years ago, she opened her gynecology and breastfeeding clinics, as well as a teen clinic at Sioux Valley high school, which until that point, was the only high school in Westman without a clinic on-site that teens could rely on for health support.
A lot of people aren’t receiving the support they need around physical and mental health,” adds Sherb. “We both recognize the gaps in our specialties, and while we may not be able to close those gaps entirely, we’re looking forward to bringing a team together that can support both family wellness and several aspects of women’s mental and physical well-being.”
Sherb opened a counselling and wellness centre, Jenn Sherb Wellness, in 2019. While Sherb will not be operating Jenn Sherb Wellness in tandem with the clinic, she will continue to offer counselling services for her current and future clients at The Wellness Clinic.
With a strong focus on community, their wellness team will work to bring together groups with common health and wellness needs, providing specialty programs and courses in areas that include sexual and reproductive health, health at every size, and mental health.
The clinic offers sufficient parking, a spacious front lobby with self-check-in options, and discrete and comfortable rooms where clients can meet with practitioners from various fields based on their health needs.
The interdisciplinary team at The Wellness Clinic includes physicians, nursing, counsellors, registered dieticians, physiotherapists, yoga instructors, and meditation and mindfulness teachers.

- Prenatal and Postpartum Care
- Primary Care Obstetrical Deliveries
- Infertility
