It’s time to look at
HEALING in a new light.

Megan Firth, RD, MPH

Registered Dietitian

I’m Megan Firth, an anti-diet registered dietitian with over a decade of experience studying and practicing dietetics. I’m passionate about dismantling diet culture and guiding clients on their journey to heal their relationship with food. I support individuals and families of all ages, shapes and sizes to pursue eating disorder recovery by sharing knowledge about the impact of stress, mood, and diet culture on our ability to nourish ourselves, debunking nutrition myths, as well as addressing digestion challenges and nutrition complications of eating disorders.

During the early stages of recovery I will empower caregivers to build meal support skills, as well as create meal plans designed to renourish the body, challenge food rules, and fuel movement. Clients who are further along their journey will be guided to learn to honour their hunger cues, nourish their body unconditionally and make peace with food using the principles of intuitive eating. My intention is to leave clients and their families feeling confident, supported, and equipped to do the hard work of recovery.

Morgan Weatherup, RSW, MSW

Founder and Clinical Director

My name is Morgan Weatherup, and I am a registered Clinical Social Worker who specializes in the treatment of Eating Disorders, Emotion Regulation Concerns and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Trauma. My heart and soul are grounded in providing supportive, high-quality and evidence-informed treatment for children, teens, families, young adults and caregivers. I approach all of my work with the intention of giving individuals and families a space where they can feel safe, understood, hopeful and supported within a collaborative and holistic treatment environment. Doing this work brings me such joy because it allows me to empower caregivers and individuals to find their way to the path of recovery and a life worth living imagined by them. For many families that I work with, treatment has not always felt like a safe and supportive place. In my work, I create a space and relationships where families and individuals have the ability to bring hope, joy and stability back into their lives, thus allowing them to reach a place of healing and recovery. It’s this transformation that motivates me to continue to provide high-quality services and meaningful advocacy within the worlds of Eating Disorders and Mental Health. As a therapist, I specialize in Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Informed Practices, Therapeutic Breathwork Practices and Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy, including MDMA and Psilocybin assisted therapy.  I am available for clinical supervision and consultation, Individual therapy, Caregiver support, and group-based services.

Registered Social Worker

Katie Koruna, MA, RP

Registered Psychotherapist

As a registered psychotherapist, I offer an eclectic approach, combining expertise in various modalities as well as that little hint of lived experience. As a Mother, a partner, an introverted extrovert and someone who has learned to pick myself back up again I trust in my ability to be that soft and stable place to land for my clients.  I believe in the transformative power of an honest and understanding connection and I hope to become a support system for you, in the way that you need right now. 

I hope you leave our work together feeling powerful enough to give yourself permission to do the hard thing or to sit and just be. There is strength in taking that first step and I have the privilege of watching this happen. 

I work with folks across the lifespan and on all walks of life. I view client issues through a humanistic lens meaning I believe in the strength of the individual, their potential for growth and the client’s ability to overcome.  I want to help folks move from their anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment issues and all of the things that keep them feeling ‘stuck.’ 

An integrative approach means I draw from my training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT for Children and Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT).  I have facilitated group therapy for kids and teens dealing with anxiety and have also co-facilitated critical incident debriefing sessions for teens.

Pairing instruction with intention, I dedicate time to helping others in Newmarket by volunteering with community meal programs. It is important to me to continue to give back to those in my community. Some of my hobbies include camping, cycling and reading as well as spending time with family. 

I look so much forward to connecting with you and applaud you for showing up for yourself.

My vibrant enthusiasm, trustworthiness, and openness contribute to a safe environment that holds space for folks to discover and develop into the best versions of themselves.

My work is primarily with children, teens, and adult individuals to discover their strengths and supports with creating and maintaining helpful thinking patterns and healthy behavioural habits.

Additionally, I believe that taking care of our mind is just as important as taking care of our physical bodies and offer compassionate and body-positive support to those struggling to find connection between their mind and their body. Allow me to join you on your journey to building a healthy, empowered, and kind relationship between your mind and body to support you in reclaiming health, cultivating self-love, and practicing intuitive self-care.
