About Us

Purely Wellness is a modern and welcoming Health & Wellness Centre located in Duncan, British Columbia, on beautiful Vancouver Island.

We officially opened in Spring 2021 and feature a wide range of practitioners and practice areas, plus our Eminence Organics Skin Care shop and brand-new connecting mettra Pharmacy.

With the completion of our third phase of construction in early 2023, we've grown to become the largest multidisciplinary centre in the Cowichan Valley, and proudly the clinic of choice for clients & practitioners alike.
