About Us
Thank you for taking some time to learn about us!
At Newleaf Total Wellness Centre in Abbotsford, we simplify your path to better health. Your journey deserves care that’s connected, coordinated, and focused on you.
Our team includes over 30 practitioners across 13 disciplines, all under one roof. Whether you need rehabilitation, pain management, relaxation, or preventative care, we’ve got you covered. Our complimentary Patient Care Coordinator (PCC) guides you to the right practitioners and treatment options, so you never have to navigate your care alone. No running around. No repeating your story. Just care that moves you forward—faster.
We built Newleaf from personal experience. Ed, a physiotherapist with over 30 years in practice, saw too many people struggle to access complete care because providers worked in silos. DeVera, with years in employment services supporting marginalized individuals, witnessed how hard it can be to find the right support at the right time.
Like many of our patients, we’ve felt the frustration of searching for practitioners who truly collaborate and understand the full picture. That’s why we created Newleaf—to offer care that’s simple, integrated, and deeply human. If we don’t offer a service you need, we’ll help you find it elsewhere. Your recovery—not our roster—guides every decision we make.
We built Newleaf on one belief: when people feel supported, they heal faster. We’re honoured to walk alongside you on your journey to wellness.
With care,
Ed & DeVera
Co-Owners, Newleaf Total Wellness Centre

About Us – Meet Rehua Haupapa
Chief Cuteness Officer
DeVera and Ed’s once-in-a-lifetime adventure began when they discovered their daughter would have a baby she could not care for. Though not necessarily expecting to become parents again, they were presented with the incredible opportunity to adopt her newborn son. Rehua is named after a Māori Star God with the power to heal. He is the perfect Chief Cuteness Officer with his sunny disposition, bright personality and desire to meet everyone. He loves running around the clinic, spreading his special brand of joy when his Mama and Papa need to work late. Ray Ray, as he is affectionately called, is always up for giving hugs, playing with his puppy, or watching sports with Papa. Cute as a button, mischievous at times, but never failing in spreading laughter and cheer – it’s hard not to adore sweet Rehua!
