The Ezra Healing story

Ezra Healing was born from a moment that asked for conviction.

Ezra's founder, Svetlana Rilkoff, spent over 25 years working as a Registered Nurse in Canada, in various capacities, supporting patients through some of the most critical and vulnerable moments of their lives. Her experience inside the healthcare system gave her a deep understanding of both its capabilities and its limitations – particularly when it came to time, personalization, and the ability for individuals to make fully informed choices about their care.

In 2021, that understanding became personal.

Faced with a mandate to receive the COVID-19 vaccination or lose her position, Svetlana made a decision rooted in her belief that every individual has the right to choose what is placed in and on their body. She declined the vaccination, and that decision brought her long-standing career in the hospital system to an end – but it also marked the beginning of something entirely new.

Ezra Healing was created that same year.

What began as a response to a clear gap in care has grown into a trusted space for individuals seeking guidance, clarity, and a more personalized approach to their health. At its core, Ezra Healing exists to support people who feel unheard, overlooked, or limited in their options – offering a place where questions are welcomed and conversations are given the time they deserve.

Our philosophy is grounded in a simple but powerful principle: DO NO HARM. This extends beyond physical care to include the importance of informed choice, personal autonomy, and respect for each individual’s right to make decisions about their own health.

Svetlana has always believed that the body is intelligent and that true wellness begins with understanding and supporting that intelligence. She also holds strong views around conventional interventions, including vaccinations, and advocates for the right of individuals and families to make these decisions freely, without pressure or coercion. This belief in choice is not separate from Ezra Healing – it is woven into everything we do.

Today, Ezra Healing is supported by a growing team of Wellness Coaches, many of whom come from medical and nursing backgrounds and have chosen to work outside of conventional systems. Some describe their work as “UNregistered nursing,” reflecting both their clinical experience and their commitment to supporting clients in a more independent, personalized way.

Through one-on-one consultations, including a free initial session for new clients, our team provides guidance, education, and support for those navigating complex or challenging health concerns. We offer a personalized layer of insight into our clients' health – for those seeking empowering alternative perspectives and options.

We are here to listen.
We are here to guide.
We are here to support you in taking ownership of your health with confidence and clarity.

Ezra Healing is a space where individuals can explore their options, ask deeper questions, and feel empowered in the decisions they make. Because at the end of the day, your health is your own – and you deserve the freedom, knowledge, and support to navigate it on your terms.
