Our journey began along two different paths.

Jennifer Parsons, Nurse Practitioner, began building her vision for The Suites Health & Wellness in 2022, first through NL Skin Clinic and later expanding her practice after graduating as a Family/All Ages Nurse Practitioner in 2023. Her work in Emergency Medicine and Mental Health & Addictions, combined with her own experience navigating ADHD within her family, shaped her desire to create healthcare that felt more accessible, personal, and connected. She went on to complete additional training through the Canadian ADHD Resource Alliance (CADDRA), further developing her expertise in ADHD assessment and management.

At the same time, Jennifer’s cousin, Nikki Hammond, Registered Social Worker, was working toward a vision of her own. After more than a decade of working alongside children, youth, adults, and families, Nikki knew that counselling and mental health care were where she ultimately wanted her career to lead. She completed her Master of Social Work at Memorial University in 2025 and continued her training in trauma, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), emotional regulation, ADHD, and other evidence-based approaches, including additional training through CADDRA.

In 2025, our two paths came together.

As cousins, we already shared a strong connection, but we also discovered that our professional visions were deeply aligned. We both believed that care could—and should—feel more connected, collaborative, and personal.

By bringing our two visions together, Flourish at The Suites Health & Wellness took shape—a shared vision built from Jennifer’s foundation in healthcare and Nikki’s passion for counselling and mental health.

We wanted to create more than a collection of services under one roof. We wanted a place where professionals genuinely collaborate, where individuals and families don’t feel like they have to navigate everything alone, and where care considers the many pieces that make each person who they are.

ADHD care was one of the first places that vision truly came to life. With both of us completing CADDRA training, we developed an assessment and care approach that looks beyond symptoms to understand the whole person—their strengths, challenges, mental health, learning, relationships, family life, and everyday experiences.

We also knew that receiving a diagnosis shouldn’t be where support ends.

That belief continues to shape who we are today.

Our growing team brings together Nurse Practitioners, Registered Social Workers, counsellors, behavioural consultants, massage therapists, nutrition professionals, and educational professionals. Through our partnership with Blossom Educational Services, individuals and families can access psychoeducational and dyslexia assessments, tutoring, executive functioning support, and school advocacy. As our team and services continue to grow, we are excited to be expanding into a second space. While we are currently operating across two locations, our long-term vision is to bring our growing team together in one larger, collaborative space where healthcare, mental health, education, and wellness services can truly exist side by side.

For us, this growth is about much more than additional space. It is about continuing to build the kind of care we envisioned from the beginning—connected, collaborative, accessible, and centred around the whole person.

We want Flourish at The Suites to be a place where people feel welcomed, understood, and supported—whether they come through our doors for healthcare, counselling, ADHD assessment and support, trauma therapy, educational services, behavioural consultation, nutrition support, massage therapy, or medical aesthetics.

Because to us, wellness isn’t just about treating what is difficult. It’s about helping people understand themselves, recognize their strengths, build confidence and resilience, and feel supported as they grow.

That is what brought our two visions together.

That is what Flourish at The Suites means to us.

And that is the heart behind everything we continue to build.
