A heartfelt closing
After thirty years of community-based healing, learning, and collaboration, Compassion Roots Wellness Centre has now completed its work as a registered non-profit society. We extend our deepest gratitude to all who have been part of our journey — clients, practitioners, partners, and supporters — for the shared trust and compassion that shaped this work. Though our organization has formally come to a close, the spirit of Compassion Roots continues through the practitioners and community it helped grow.
Serving the community since 1997, Compassion Roots Wellness Centre Society (CRWCS) is located in Vancouver, British Columbia, where we offer integrative healthcare services. Our mission is to support individuals in managing their mental, physical, and spiritual well-being during challenging times. Our team of therapists and practitioners creates a welcoming environment where clients can express themselves freely. We offer sliding scale and subsidy programs, evening/weekend appointments, in-person and online appointments, and complimentary consultations. We prioritize education and community engagement to raise awareness about health and wellness issues and empower individuals to manage their health proactively.
Herbal Shop
Compassion Roots Wellness Centre is dedicated to being responsible stewards of the earth and promoting good health. Since our establishment over 27 years ago, we have chosen a path that demonstrates our care for the planet and the healing ingredients it provides. We source our ingredients from small, family-owned farms and cooperatives that use organic and regenerative farming practices while respecting the earth's natural rhythms. By nourishing our world from its roots, we aim to contribute to a healthier planet.
