The Trans Care clinic offers bodywork and workshops from trans and queer trans allied practitioners.

We offer care specifically for those gendering differently : 2 Spirit, Trans, Genderqueer, Non-Binary, Gender Non-Conforming and Intersex people.

Within this specificity, we center access for low-income BIPOC, migrants and refugees, Intersex people, community members navigating trans-misogyny and disability.

Many practitioners involved in this project specialize in holistic pre-and post-op support for gender-related surgeries.

All gender expansive folks are welcome regardless of medical transition status.

  • Scar tissue remediation supports scar healing, circulation, tissue health and mobility

  • Lymphatic Drainage for pre/post surgery healing support.

  • Acupuncture for pre and post-op care to support nerve regeneration
