Gather together, work — a safe place to heal for Indigenous Peoples across Canada. Honouring Indigenous wisdom and healing through culturally grounded, holistic care.

We provide Indigenous-focused counselling and wellness services for individuals, families, and communities, offered in-person, virtually, and within community settings. Grounded in culturally rooted, holistic approaches, our work honours Indigenous wisdom, relational healing, and the strengths of community and culture.

Guided by Two-Eyed Seeing, we integrate Indigenous and Western ways of knowing to support healing, balance, and well-being in a way that is respectful, inclusive, and responsive to each person’s unique journey.

Our Philosophy           

Healing spirit first — then mind, body, and community

We are an Indigenous corporation and we promote healing journeys that begin with healing the spirit first. Every team member carries between 15 and 30 years of lived and learned experience, bringing depth and compassion to every healing relationship.

We provide tools that promote the sustainability of global Indigenous healing practices — because an individual, their children, their family, and their community must be able to walk their healing journey together.

We offer holistic, culturally safe care that blends traditional Indigenous knowledge with modern therapies. Through trauma-informed, land-based, and community-focused support, we walk with you toward healing, balance, and cultural reconnection.

Who We Serve          

Supporting Indigenous Peoples in every community

Maawandooshim Anokiitan supports the mental health and wellness of Indigenous Peoples — including Métis and First Nations — in both remote and urban communities across Canada through managed health care.

We work in over 32 Ontario urban communities and multiple remote Indigenous communities, with ongoing expansion into Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, and beyond.

The Four Aspects of Well-Being

The four aspects of well being are woven between the individual, child, family and community.

Spiritual

Reconnecting with cultural identity, ceremony, traditional teachings, and the sacred relationship with land and community.

Mental

Addressing cognitive patterns, trauma, mood disorders, addictions, and building psychological resilience and clarity.

Emotional

Developing emotional regulation, processing grief and intergenerational trauma, and building healthy relationship patterns.

Physical

Recognizing how physical health, land-based activity, and somatic experience are inseparable from holistic wellness.

Our Roots          

30+ years of global healing

We have been offering global healing for over 30 years. MCRC has presented at major international Indigenous wellness conferences including Healing Our Spirit Worldwide (HOSW), connecting with Indigenous communities from Australia, New Zealand, Squamish, and beyond.

Our work with Tribal Theory Global, Gladue Writing, and Train the Trainer programs reflects our commitment to building Indigenous capacity at every level — individual, community, and systemic.

“Healing is not just the mending of wounds, but also the strength to rise above them and find new purpose in our journey.

We are interconnected. Together we heal.”
