💜 Dr. Michelle 💜

Michelle does everything with her whole heart.

She is our bold, fierce leader who leads with integrity, love and a deep desire to champion and support women.

She’s the first to celebrate our wins, brag about our successes, and remind us of our own magic.

Michelle is a community builder to her core. She created both The Poppy Clinic and The Wild Collective with the vision that true health isn’t just about nutrition and supplements, it’s also about connection, community and sisterhood.

Her impact stretches far beyond Burlington and Oakville. Thousands of clinicians and patients have been impacted by Michelle’s brilliance and her commitment to helping people build businesses, communities, and lives that feel deeply fulfilling.

She created Shed, a wildly successful metabolic health and weight loss program, to help people step into the most vibrant, empowered version of themselves. And, like everything she builds, Shed is rooted in community, accountability, and true mindset support. Her patients often say that Shed gave them their life back.

Michelle is one of the good ones, as a passionate ND, mentor and mama. Her honesty, generosity, and dedication to making the world a better place have shaped the culture we’re so proud of at Poppy.

She’s the kind of leader who always puts people first and who reminds you that you matter. If you’re lucky enough to know her, you love her.

Michelle, thank you. For showing up with your whole heart. For pouring your time, energy and soul into helping others. For creating spaces and communities that feel like home. We love you.

💜 Dr. Tara 💜

Gosh I am so grateful our paths crossed many years ago. Tara is a passionate, purpose-driven woman who, even as a student, matched my love for community medicine.

From the start, I knew we’d be so lucky to have her on our team after graduation from naturopathic medical school.

She began by helping support me with IVs… and quickly went on to create our Empowered Tween Mother & Daughter Program, Of the Wild Collective. She started running Wild Circles, hosted monthly free mother-daughter events, and even launched her own workshops—>> all of which were wildly successful (pun intended).

What she’s built in the wellness space online is something most people would say is impossible. But around here, we like to conquer the impossible.

Tara co-founded a mental health company that educates students and parents in educational institutions… and in just a few short years, has had the privilege of empowering thousands of kids and families.

At Poppy, she runs a private practice focused on teen health, mental wellness, and metabolic health, and she shares the patient load for our Shed Metabolic Reset program.

Those who know her, and have the chance to work with her, see her heart, her passion, and her deep dedication to making a meaningful contribution to our next generation.

She helps young girls become period and body literate, and she’s the kind of practitioner who will cry with you in both your struggle and your celebration.

Dr. Tara, our team wouldn’t be complete without you. We are so grateful to be your hub for both healthcare and community care. 💕

💜 Afrousheh 💜

Friends before associates->> I was one of the first to know she had been accepted into naturopathic medicine. This accomplished woman has more degrees and designations than I can count, and she brings unmatched passion to everything she does. Her background in psychology, holistic nutrition, naturopathic medicine & functional medicine makes her a wealth of knowledge that her patients truly appreciate.

I was so proud (and thrilled!) when she chose us to be her practice home.

Whether you see her for fertility optimization, pediatrics, or functional medicine, you know her warmth and her heart. Her patients absolutely adore her and feel deeply seen and cared for. They tell us all the time!

While we don’t get to see her in person as often, since she maintains a virtual practice while raising sweet lil’ Theo->> we are so grateful for her dedication, presence, and continued care for our community.

Afrousheh, we’re so lucky to have you as part of this Wild family. ✨💕🙌🙏

💜 Erin 💜

If you love our logos, branding, or the design of our space… it’s all thanks to our girl, Erin.

She’s been with us in every capacity since before we even opened. She was designing during the planning stages of Poppy & Wild.

She’s supported the front desk, been involved in every launch, sales page, website, and sign-up system.

She’s taught yoga and workout classes… And now? She runs our Shed Group Health: Nutrition & Strength Training program with passion and precision.

Erin puts her entire heart into everything she does. Nothing passes her approval unless it’s visually beautiful and completely on brand. She just has the eye.

She’s one of those rare humans who can anticipate your needs and then create something even more beautiful than you imagined. We are so lucky our businesses are elevated by her creative genius and meticulous dedication to every single detail. (Even down to branded crocheted scrunchies in every retreat swag bag—>> because she truly cares that much.)

Erin, your love and devotion never go unnoticed. We are endlessly thankful for you and your serious genius in all you do. 💫

💜 Emily 💜

The heart of our operations—> the reason our exemplary customer service and experience even exists.

If you’ve had the pleasure of connecting with Emily in any capacity, you know her warmth, her deep commitment, and her uncanny ability to make the impossible possible. (Getting into Daiana’s schedule is no easy feat some weeks.)

She’s organized, incredibly caring, and always tending to the little details. The calming music, the beautiful scents, the spotless and welcoming space… that’s all Emily. She knows that the little things matter in creating a healthy and inspiring experience. And she’s right, literally everyone comments on how peaceful and grounding our clinic feels.

What you might not know is her passion and experience in intuitive healing. When she’s not running the show behind the scenes, she’s supporting clients in becoming attuned to their truth, helping them find alignment and harmony within. If you haven’t booked with her, I highly recommend it. I see her anytime I feel overwhelmed or ungrounded. She restores balance in every way.

Emily>> we love and appreciate you beyond words. We are so grateful to have you in our world.

As the heartbeat of our space, we simply couldn’t do what we do without you. Thank you. 🤍

We quietly celebrated 8 years as a clinic and community health initiative.

Poppy & Wild are 8!!! 🎉

And I am beyond proud of everything we’ve built together.

Our team is absolutely incredible.... and I don’t say that lightly.

Building a team and operating a busy clinic is no easy feat. Truthfully, it’s taken me years (and many mistakes) to grow into the kind of leader I believe this team deserves. It’s also taken time, intention, and deep care to build and honour the team we have today.

Our clinicians are brilliant. They are so gifted at what they do. So please allow me to share my love and appreciation for them throughout the week as we celebrate this monumental milestone.

Running a business is no joke, most don’t make it. Yet here we are, 8 years in… still growing, still serving, and still deeply committed to serving our community.

Thank you for choosing us to be your health hub-> for women’s health, menopause + hormones, fertility, teen health, IV vitamin therapy, metabolic health and our beloved community programs.

It is an honour to serve you. And none of this would be possible without your trust in us.

YOU... those who choose yourselves, your health, and your goals, are the real heroes. 🫶

We couldn’t be more excited to share that our Galentine’s Retreat is happening on Saturday, February 8th at The Poppy Clinic!

We created this retreat because we see the way you give so much of yourself to your family, your work, and everyone who relies on you. How you hold everything together, making sure schedules are coordinated, meals are on the table and everyone’s needs are met.

But, what about you?

So many of the women we work with tell us the same thing: There’s just no time left for me. Often, we don’t even realize how much we’ve been running on empty until our body starts whispering (or maybe even shouting) that it needs a break.

That’s why we created this retreat.

This is not just another item on your to-do list. This is a chance to pause. To put yourself first, even if just for a day. To be the one who is cared for, instead of the one always doing the caring.

We designed this retreat with one goal in mind: to completely nourish you—body, mind, and soul.

Here’s what you can expect:

🤍 A heart-opening sound bath to melt away stress and reconnect with yourself
🤍 Intentional movement to release tension and remind you that your body is worthy of love and care
🤍 A creative art project to tap into the part of you that craves self-expression
🤍 Mouthwatering food made with love, because nourishing yourself should feel luxurious
🤍 Empowering talks on romanticizing your life and embracing pleasure—not as an afterthought, but as a priority

Because you matter. Your well-being matters. And we know that in the chaos of daily life, it’s easy to forget that.

Consider this your permission slip to step away, breathe deeply, and receive. Let yourself be supported. Let yourself be poured into. You give so much—now it’s your turn.

We can’t wait to spoil you. Comment or DM “retreat” and we’ll send you the link to join us. Space is limited! ✨
