Gagan Vasudeva Therapist

Gagan Vasudeva MSW RSW holds a Master of Social Work and is a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. She is certified in both Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR Therapy). She is also a certified mindfulness meditation teacher, and she is presently pursuing her certification as a Mindful Self-Compassion Teacher.

Gagan specializes in working with adults navigating stress and trauma, which often manifest in everyday challenges such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, anger, guilt, or self-blame. With a compassionate and trauma-informed approach, she helps the participants harness the natural intelligence of their nervous system, body, and mind to heal from difficult experiences. Through this process, they can develop greater self-awareness, resilience, and emotional balance in their daily lives. Trauma can deeply influence how a person thinks, feels, and responds to the world, often leading to heightened anxiety, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting others, or a sense of disconnection.

Everyday situations—such as social interactions, decision-making, or even certain sounds or sensations—can activate fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses, creating patterns of avoidance, self-criticism, or hypervigilance. Sleep disturbances, chronic stress, and challenges with focus or self-care are also common. Over time, unresolved trauma can make it difficult to feel safe, grounded, and in control of one’s own experiences. Gagan provides a safe, compassionate space where the participants can explore both past and present struggles, build effective coping skills, and release themselves from the grip of their past to reclaim their lives.

Childhood Neurodevelopment & Functional Neurology

Dr. Fraser is a passionate advocate for helping children reach their full potential by addressing the root causes of developmental and behavioural challenges. As a certified provider of the Melillo Method, Dr. Fraser utilizes a comprehensive, brain-based approach to support children struggling with learning difficulties, behavioural concerns, sensory processing issues, and other neurodevelopmental delays. He is equally committed to guiding and empowering families, recognizing the vital role parents and caregivers play in a child’s progress.

Originally from a sheep and cattle property in the remote outback of Western Queensland, Australia, Dr. Fraser’s journey into chiropractic care and neurodevelopment was inspired by his own childhood challenges with concentration and learning. After struggling for years and exhausting conventional interventions, he experienced a dramatic transformation under the care of a chiropractor who introduced him to neurodevelopmental therapies. In just six months, he advanced from a second-grade reading level to reading The Lord of the Rings with ease—an experience that changed the trajectory of his life.

This personal transformation sparked his desire to make a difference in the lives of other children and families. He pursued a degree in chiropractic care at CQ University in Tropical North Queensland and later earned a Fellowship in Childhood Neurodevelopmental Disorders through the International Board of Functional Neurosciences (USA). His training aligns with his commitment to functional neurology and neuroplasticity-based care.

Dr. Fraser is a key member of the integrative team at EPIC Health and Movement, serving in both the EPIC Kids and EPIC Brain Health, Concussion, and Neuroscience Divisions. He is known for his patient, thorough, and heartfelt approach—always aiming to bring clarity, confidence, and hope to families navigating complex developmental journeys.

Affectionately called “Dr. Fras” by his young patients, he remains dedicated to continuous learning and advancing his clinical expertise. Outside of practice, Dr. Fraser enjoys playing rugby union, skiing, and hiking with his wife, Dr. Danielle, and their beloved dog, Paddington.
