Experience

Bo has over 10 years of experience treating diverse mental health issues, coupled with five years specializing in Forensic Psychology, focusing on complex domestic violence issues, high risk criminal behaviour and sexual related issues. His career started with at-risk youth and gang violence intervention in Scarborough, ON. After relocating to Alberta, Bo immediately started working with Alberta Health Services as a mental health therapist.

Bo worked with various mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, personality disorders, addictions related issues and a variety of complex mental health challenges. This role provided a pivotal opportunity for Bo to refine his skills and dive into the area of forensics where he worked with complex criminal offending
behaviours. Bo extended his knowledge and understanding and ran a mens mental health group that allowed men to come together to talk about life’s challenges and deal with them in a healthy and constructive manner.


A few years later, Bo was given the opportunity to use his skills and bring them to the streets of Edmonton with ACCESS 24/7 where he collaborated with Edmonton police and EMS, responding to crisis calls. Bo finds fulfillment in supporting families, couples, and individuals in navigating life's stressors and challenges. He remains dedicated to improving mental health outcomes and enhancing community well-being through his comprehensive expertise and compassionate approach.

Natalie is fantastic! She listens to what I need and has great pressure for deep tissue in those stubborn spots. She keeps the conversation light and takes her cues from me when I’m needing the quiet.

I had a 90 minute prenatal massage with Natalie and it was amazing! She was so sweet and tailored it specifically to my requests. The table set up is awesome too as you actually get to lie on your stomach! Natalie has such a smooth flow to her technique and I will definitely go back.

My partner and I booked a couples massage and I could not be more appreciative! They treated us with such kindness and professionalism, and seemed to be very knowledgeable. We discussed preferences of pressure and location in depth before beginning and they were both able to offer great suggestions for us! They also checked in with us making sure we were comfortable at various times throughout the session, which I really appreciated! We walked out feeling so refreshed and relax, I had even dozed off during the massage! As an added bonus we got a sweet dark chocolate treat at the end of the session, which I loved! This team truly put a lot of care and effort into making their space as serene and peaceful as it is. Thank you for crafting such a wonderful team, and creating such a positive experience for your clients! Highly recommend & will be booking again!!

Had a 90 minute massage with Natalie Mills and it was fantastic. She is very good at what she does, has a ton of experience (17 years +) and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole experience. Aspen Wellness is a very clean, warm and welcoming clinic. I strongly recommend both Aspen Wellness and Natalie!
