OUR TEAM
Meet the Wellness Experts!
A comprehensive team of wellness practitioners delivering safe and effective health solutions.
At Atheria Wellness, you work with a team of fully-qualified healthcare professionals who provide customized wellness solutions to meet your specific needs.
Safe, personalized care comes first: all of our medical personnel are licensed nurses or nurse practitioners with decades of combined experience working in hospitals and clinics. This means all of our IVs and injections are administered by a medical professional who has the appropriate training, licensing, and proven experience in intravenous therapy.
Our wellness practitioners follow strict protocols and procedures to ensure safety during the IV process, so you can focus on living your life to the fullest with help from custom treatments and follow-ups!
CEO & Founder
Megan Balakas, BScN, RN
A former NCAA athlete and experienced RN, I've been in the healthcare industry for over 20 years! In addition to two Bachelor's degrees in Biology and Nursing, my experiences in the nursing and pharmaceutical industries in different healthcare systems have granted me a unique perspective on how best to serve individuals' needs.
I've had the fortune of working and living in both the US and Canada: I was born and raised in New Jersey then moved to Calgary, Alberta in 2010. Throughout my career I've been privileged to be part of frontline teams and groups working towards change behind the scenes, working in clinical research and drug safety throughout North America.
My professional career also includes experience in Emergency, Cardiology, Oncology, and Dermatology; most recently I was Research Director at the Prostate Cancer Centre in Calgary before moving to Ontario.
Self-care and overall wellness are important values that I strive for in my own life and aim for through our work at Atheria Wellness. Helping others reach their wellness goals is one way I live these values; I also spend a lot of time outdoors snowboarding, biking, hiking, and soaking up nature near mountains, lakes or the ocean.
