About us

Our inception story

Dr Hemant Parbhoo brought his vision of a holistic healing and wellness Centre to life when he thought of Bedford Wellness Centre. Centrally located in the heart of Bedfordview, the practice focuses on the healing of a patient in relaxing yet warm and inviting environment. His vision became a reality when he opened Bedford Wellness Centre which has been operating since 2015.

Bedford Wellness consists of a diverse team that can help bring relief and aid all-over body, mind, soul healing. With the addition of Karyn Poson and her expertise, the Centre has become a true place of healing. Whether you require relief from physical injuries and discomfort or need emotional support, there is 
a caring professional to assist you with every step on your journey to Wellness.

The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and the cause and prevention of disease.”
