Meet Tobi.

If you've visited Maliya Wellness Centre, chances are you've met Tobi. Whether she's greeting you at the front desk, helping coordinate your appointments, or offering a friendly smile, she's committed to ensuring every client feels welcomed, supported, and cared for from the moment they arrive.

As Front Desk Administrator, Human Resources Manager, and Creative Coordinator, Tobi supports both the client experience and the team behind it. Whether she's welcoming clients, fostering a positive workplace culture, or collaborating with Lori to bring Maliya's ideas to life through creative projects and communications, she's passionate about creating meaningful experiences that reflect the heart of the clinic.

Tobi believes exceptional care begins long before a treatment starts and is proud to help create an environment where healing truly meets home.

“I want to create a space where people feel truly seen, heard, and safe to explore their healing in their own way. Guided by compassion and lived experience, I believe healing becomes possible when we are met with kindness, empathy, and support, and that finding the strength to be our authentic selves is something everyone deserves as their journey unfolds in its own time and way.”

Her Story

Originally from Toronto, Tobi made the heartfelt decision to move to Cochrane five years ago in search of something more meaningful—a community that aligned with her values and offered a sense of love, safety, and belonging. What she found was not just a new home, but a place where she could fully step into her purpose: helping others heal.

Tobi’s own mental health journey was a turning point in her life, awakening a deep empathy and understanding for those navigating their own challenges. This personal experience fuels her passion for mental health advocacy and has shaped her unwavering belief that healing is not a one-size-fits-all process. It can take many forms—conversation, connection, stillness, or support—but it always begins with the courage to reach out and accept help.

With a warm and grounded presence, Tobi is committed to creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, and safe to be exactly who they are. She strives to build a community of care—one where individuals are empowered to explore their inner worlds, access meaningful resources, and move forward at their own pace.
