Welcome to Latitude Wellness Vancouver, BC
Latitude Wellness: An integrated multidisciplinary wellness clinic in downtown Vancouver, BC
Welcome to Latitude Wellness! Lauren Legere and Dr. Sereena Uppal are thrilled to introduce you to our wellness clinic and have you as a part of our community. For those of you who may be new to our clinic, Latitude Wellness is a multidisciplinary wellness center located in the heart of downtown Vancouver, BC. Our clinic was founded by women with the goal of improving the way healthcare is provided to patients.
Inspiration behind starting the clinic
Latitude Wellness Vancouver was created to address the issue of patients falling through the cracks in our healthcare system. You know how it is, going back and forth between different practitioners and having to repeat your story over and over again. It can be frustrating, right? Well, we wanted to change that.
Philosophy and approach to healthcare
Our approach to patient care is to collaborate across disciplines with the patient's care at the forefront of treatment so that we curate more effective treatment plans. Why does this matter to you? It means that you spend more time being treated and less time repeating yourself.
The Latitude Wellness team connects with each other (with your consent of course) to ensure that we are working towards the same goals, instead of opposing goals. Have you ever gone to one practitioner and they are focused and certain that it is one concern only to see another who is telling you something different? Our goal is to come together and look at your concerns from all angles to create a stronger, more effective treatment plan.
The benefits of an integrated wellness clinic
An integrated multidisciplinary wellness clinic is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the whole person, rather than just one aspect of their health. It takes into account the individual's physical, emotional, and mental well-being and provides treatments and therapies that address all aspects of their health. An integrated wellness center is the ability to provide comprehensive care that considers the whole body, not just one modality or service.

Meet the Founders of Latitude Wellness
Lauren Legere, Registered Clinical Counsellor
Latitude Counselling Vancouver was founded in December 2019 by Lauren Legere, a professional with a Masters in counselling Psychology and a Registered Clinical Counsellor. Lauren has spent over 15 years studying psychology and learning about the brain, resilience, and the human experience. The goal of Latitude Counselling is to create a wellness space where people from all walks of life can feel safe, be seen, and receive truly one of a kind, unique care in the healthcare space.
Lauren specializes in various areas of mental health such as relationships, trauma, anxiety, professional burnout, and personal growth. It was observed that mental and physical health are interconnected, and continuity of care is a crucial part of the treatment process.
Dr. Sereena Uppal, Vancouver Chiropractor
Dr. Sereena Uppal, a highly skilled and experienced Vancouver chiropractor, practicing for 18 years, dedicated to helping patients achieve optimal health and well-being through personalized, evidence-based care. Dr. Sereena Uppal's focus is on overall well-being of the patient, supporting their health goals, and enabling them to participate in activities they enjoy without discomfort. Her approach is hands-on, incorporating modalities backed by scientific evidence, such as cold laser therapy.
Working at various clinics in Vancouver, Dr. Sereena Uppal, observed a disconnection in the care patients were receiving when working with multiple practitioners. It was evident that there was a clear desire for collaboration among other practitioners. Despite her efforts to facilitate a shared approach among the treating doctors, it was not always well-received or consistent.
Inspiration behind starting Latitude Wellness
In 2021, Lauren was introduced to Dr. Sereena Uppal and together they began to develop plans for Latitude Wellness Vancouver, focusing on collaboration across disciplines to curate more effective treatment plans for patients. Since its inception, the ultimate goal has been to provide continuity of care that centers on the patients' needs and improves their overall experience for their health and wellness.
When these two women met, there was an immediate connection. They shared their own personal experiences gained in various wellness clinics,where they saw the disconnect between the patient and the practitioner. They quickly realized their goal was the same —putting patient care at the forefront through collaboration with other practitioners in a space that is safe, and allows the patient to feel seen and heard.
Lauren and Dr. Sereena Uppal realized that creating a wellness center that focused on care from a collaborative lens was possible. Their experience motivated them to ensure the growth and well-being of practitioners while caring for patients. It was time to start building something together, rather than working for someone else. These women are both passionate about caring for all humans, especially those navigating pain while still living their best life. Together, Lauren and Dr. Sereena Uppal have created Latitude Wellness, a space guided by their values and vision for the future.
Vision for the future of the wellness clinic
Latitude Wellness was founded on the principles of “TEACH”.
Trust
Empowerment
Authenticity
Collaboration
Hope
These values guide Latitude Wellness in all our decisions, from how to cultivate a work environment that practitioners and patients alike love to be in, to how we want to plan for the future of Latitude Wellness. Our intention is to empower patients, collaborate with them, and truly understand their health and wellness journey.
As humans first, practitioners second, we have learnt over the years what it is like to navigate the medical system. The team at Latitude Wellness wants to give our patients and the humans that choose to work with us the tools to make informed decisions about their own care and collaborate on their own treatment plans so it makes sense for the individual, their lifestyle, their health and wellness goals and what they are hoping to gain from their time spent with us.
