The heart behind Fireweed Wellness is Kenzie Wade, a dual-registered therapist with a diverse and integrative practice. Originally from Nova Scotia, Kenzie has called British Columbia home since 1999 and now lives along the shores of the Columbia River in Revelstoke — on the traditional and unceded territories of the Sinixt, Secwépemc, Ktunaxa, and Syilx (Okanagan) Nations.

Kenzie’s path into healthcare began with a foundation in spa therapy and outdoor leadership, later expanding into massage therapy and advanced manual techniques. She graduated from the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy before continuing her studies in Acupuncture & Moxibustion at Eight Branches College of Eastern Medicine, earning registration in both British Columbia and Ontario. In 2025, she completed a clinical internship at the Shaanxi University of Chinese Medicine in Xi’an, China, deepening her understanding of traditional Chinese medicine in practice.

Her approach is trauma-informed, patient-centered, and rooted in connection — blending therapeutic precision with a focus on nervous system regulation and whole-body healing. Kenzie has a special interest in hormonal and reproductive health, cosmetic acupuncture, lymphatic care for post-operative recovery and oncology-related lymphedema, stress-related conditions, and integrative approaches to pain and injury recovery.

Beyond her clinical practice, Kenzie is actively developing a community acupuncture clinic to make accessible care available in Revelstoke. She is also an avid mountain biker, bikepacker, CrossFitter, hockey player, and backcountry skier/snowboarder. When she’s not in the clinic or on the trails, you’ll often find her playing flute with the local community band, studying Mandarin, or spending time in the mountains with her rescue dog, Briggs.
