Hi, I’m Dr. Ardavan Jafari, but most people call me Dr. Ardi! I earned my Bachelor of Kinesiology from the University of Toronto in 2016, followed by a Master of Science in Immunology from York University in 2019, and my Doctor of Chiropractic degree from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 2024. Along the way, I was honoured with the A. Earl Homewood Memorial Award and had my research published in journals such as the American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology and PLoS One.

In practice, I treat a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions, but I have a special interest in managing jaw and orofacial discomfort as well as chronic headaches related to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). My additional training allows me to offer specialized care for TMJ pain, neck pain, athlete management, and instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy.

A few things about me: * I recently got married and love spending time with my wife and my dog, Lobo * I’m a passionate soccer fan (Real Madrid!) and enjoy both playing and watching the sport * I love to travel and explore new places * My favourite local spots for espresso are Rise and Beacon * I’m a car enthusiast and enjoy talking shop whenever I can * My interest in jaw and orofacial care was inspired by my fiancé and brother, who are both dentists

Hi, I’m Tanner! Born and raised in Picton, hockey has always been part of my life. As a lifelong Toronto Maple Leafs fan, I wanted a career that blended my love for sports with my desire to help people move better and feel stronger.

When I’m not in the clinic, I enjoy weightlifting, reading, gaming, and spending time with my fiancée, our three Newfoundland dogs, and our baby daughter, born in September 2025. I’m also a certified personal trainer, which complements my massage work perfectly.

Hi, I’m Dr. Heather McDowell! I’m a chiropractor and the owner of County Wellness Center. My passion for chiropractic began as a teen after a soccer injury—chiropractic care helped me get back on the field, and that experience inspired me to pursue this profession. I completed my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology at the University of Waterloo, followed by a Master’s in Exercise Physiology at San Jose State University. From there, I went on to graduate cum laude as class valedictorian from Palmer College of Chiropractic West in California. I’ve continued my training with the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, and I’m certified in the Webster Technique, the PIPS Technique, and as a kinesiologist. I’m also a certified Cranial Sacral Therapist. I especially enjoy working with kids and pregnant clients, supporting them through these important stages of life.

A little about me: * I’m married to my husband John, and we’re raising two daughters, Poppy and Clover * We share our home with our dogs, Ruby and Royal, and our cat Maverick * I’ve had two all-natural home births in a birthing tub, which fuels my passion for natural family wellness * I enjoy gardening, herbal medicine, and practicing yoga (which is how John and I met!) * My favourite local beach is Sandbanks, and my favourite restaurant is Flame + Smith * My go-to spot for coffee and a treat is Miss Lily’s Café * I love being active outdoors—walking our dogs, hiking, running, and playing soccer * Fun fact: health really runs in the family — my sister is also a chiropractor, and my dad is a dentist

Hi, I’m Dr. Jessica Longhi—but you can call me Dr. Jess! I grew up in Vaughan, Ontario, before moving to Peterborough, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences and later a Master’s degree at Trent University. I always knew I wanted to help people in healthcare, but it wasn’t until I discovered chiropractic that everything clicked. I connected with the profession instantly and knew it was the way I could truly improve people’s quality of life. I went on to earn my Doctor of Chiropractic degree at New York Chiropractic College in Seneca Falls, New York. During that time, I worked with clients of all ages, from infants to seniors. One of the most impactful experiences was completing a residency at the Rochester Veterans Affairs Outpatient Clinic, where I developed a strong interest in working with adults and older adults. That experience reinforced my holistic approach—seeing the person, not just the condition. My love for animals also led me to pursue animal chiropractic certification through the Veterinary Chiropractic Learning Centre here in Canada. Today, I run Morrice Animal Chiropractic out of our Picton location, where I have the joy of working with both small and large animals.

A little about me: * I’m married to my husband, Tim, and together we’re raising our daughter in Quinte West * I have two wonderful dogs, Dolly and Daisy * I’m the proud forever-person to Pete, my off-the-track Standardbred horse * I love spending time outdoors—gardening, long walks, and evenings by the campfire * I enjoy visiting art galleries and exploring creativity in all forms * My favourite restaurant is Bocado * My favourite flower is the dahlia

Hi, I’m Holly! I grew up in the small town of Marmora, homeschooled alongside my seven younger sisters. After graduating with distinction from Peterborough Oxford College in 2017, I discovered my passion for massage therapy. Since 2021, I’ve been proud to call County Wellness my professional home, helping the people of Prince Edward County feel and move their best. I live here with my husband and our two children, Ester and Jonathan. Staying active is a big part of my life—you’ll often find me running the roads around Consecon, sometimes with a stroller in tow, and training for races like the County Marathon.

A few things about me: * I’m a mom to two wonderful kids * “Friends” is my all-time favourite show * I have a serious sweet tooth * I’m a dedicated long-distance runner * My go-to PEC café is The Bean Counter

Hi, I’m Kelsey! I was born and raised in Prince Edward County, and after spending time living in Whistler, BC, I discovered my true passion for wellness and holistic care. At County Wellness Center, I’m grateful to support our community in two meaningful roles — as a Chiropractic Assistant and a Fascial Stretch Therapist — within a collaborative, whole-body approach to health. My time in British Columbia allowed me to work closely with mountain bikers, snowboarders, and skiers of all levels, supporting recovery, mobility, and performance. That experience deepened my appreciation for how intentional care and movement can enhance both healing and overall quality of life. I’m trained through the Stretch to Win Institute as a Level 1 Fascial Stretch Therapy practitioner, and I love offering one-on-one stretch sessions that help clients move more freely, reduce tension, and feel more connected to their bodies. Whether I’m assisting behind the scenes to ensure your visit runs smoothly or working hands-on during a session, my goal is always the same — to help you feel supported, comfortable, and empowered in your wellness journey. When you visit the Center, I’m often one of the first smiles you’ll see. I’m passionate about creating a welcoming, inclusive environment for individuals and families alike, and I especially enjoy helping children feel safe and confident in our space.

A little about me: * I live on East Lake with my son and our Rottweiler * I enjoy paddle boarding, swimming, running, and evenings around the campfire * I love baking and trying new recipes * Fall is my favourite season * I hope to become a Registered Massage Therapist in the future * Nature is truly my happy place

Hi, I’m Trudy!

My husband, Gary, and I have spent our summers in Prince Edward County since 2008. After retiring from my career as an executive, we decided to make this beautiful region our full-time home — and we couldn’t be happier to be part of such a warm and welcoming community.

I’m passionate about helping others find balance and wellbeing through Yoga, Meditation, and Movement. As a Certified Yoga Instructor, Reiki Master, Breathwork Coach, and Somatics Educator, I believe in the power of these practices to support calm, clarity, and deeper connection in everyday life.

You’ll be seeing me around the clinic one day a week as a Chiropractic Assistant, and even more as I expand my wellness offerings in 2026. Stay tuned — exciting workshops and individual sessions coming soon! 💚

I’m excited to share what I love and connect with others on their own wellness journey.
