Live Well Kids Clinic
A Pilot Program at Boomerang Health
We are pleased to announce the pilot launch of the Live Well Kids Clinic at Boomerang Health, an interdisciplinary, family-centred initiative designed to support children and adolescents with complex health concerns related to weight, growth, and associated comorbidities or co-existing conditions.
This pilot program offers coordinated care through a team of physicians (Paediatrics, Cardiology, Endocrinology) and rehabilitation professionals (Nutrition, Physiotherapy, Brain and Mental Health). Our approach is grounded in a Health at Every Size (HAES) philosophy, emphasizing sustainable health behaviours, body respect, and overall well-being rather than weight-centric metrics.
WHO WE SEE
We welcome referrals for children and adolescents who meet any of the following criteria:
- A BMI at or above the 97th percentile, or
- A BMI between the 85th and 97th percentile with one or more of the following comorbidities:
- Elevated blood pressure
- Atypical lipid profile (HDL <1.2; LDL >3.3; TG >1.5 when fasting)
- Pre-diabetes (A1c 6.0 – 6.4%)
- Mental health concerns
- Orthopaedic/Musculoskeletal issues
- Nutrient deficiencies
WHAT WE OFFER
The Live Well Kids Clinic offers a combination of OHIP-covered physician services and fee-based rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation services may be covered by extended health insurance. Families are advised to check their plans.

OUR REHABILITATION SERVICES
NUTRITION
Registered Dietitians (dietitians) experienced in paediatrics provide families personalized, evidence-informed nutrition support rooted in a Health at Every Size (HAES) philosophy. Rather than focusing solely on weight, dietitians help patients and families identify and implement sustainable lifestyle changes that support overall well-being and foster positive relationships with food and body, honouring body diversity and individual needs. Dietitians can support the following:
- Caregiver confusion or stress around food, including fears of “good” vs. “bad” foods, rigid eating rules, or pressure to diet
- Disrupted eating patterns, such as restrictive eating, emotional eating, or chaotic meal habits
- Nutrition-related barriers to health, including limited access to dietary variety
- Nutrition misinformation, such as providing evidence-based guidance to common myths or hot topics discussed in the media
- Caregiver challenges with feeding, such as mealtime struggles, selective eating, or uncertainty about how to support a child’s eating in a positive, non-restrictive way
- Nutritional support related to lab findings, such as elevated cholesterol or blood sugar levels
Prices:
Assessment: $200.00
Follow Up Consultations: $180.00/60 minutes; $90.00/30 minutes
PHYSIOTHERAPY
Physiotherapists experienced in paediatrics offer families personalized, evidence-based interventions that promote physical activity and improve movement patterns. Through fun, age-appropriate exercises and activities, physiotherapists can help children and adolescents build strength, enhance flexibility, and develop better body awareness, all while focusing on creating a positive and motivating environment. Physiotherapists can support the following areas:
- Movement difficulties, where a child may be having challenges with motor coordination, balance, or general movement. These concerns can be addressed through targeted interventions provided by a physiotherapist to improve mobility, strength, and coordination.
- Reduced physical activity levels due to discomfort, low self-confidence, or lack of motivation
- Joint or musculoskeletal pain, such as in the knees, hips, or lower back, including chronic pain
- Postural concerns impacting mobility and physical function
Prices:
Assessment: $145.00
Follow Up Consultations: $130.00/60 minutes; $85.00/30 minutes
BRAIN AND MENTAL HEALTH
Social Workers within the Brain and Mental Health team, who are experienced in paediatrics, provide holistic, family-centered support in the Live Well Kids Clinic, helping patients and families address challenges that extend beyond medical weight management. Social workers can support the following areas:
- Body image concerns, low self-esteem, or disordered eating patterns, where a Health at Every Size (HAES) approach can foster self-acceptance and resilience
- Barriers to healthy lifestyle changes, including food insecurity, motivation challenges, or lack of access to physical activity
- Emotional or behavioural challenges, such as anxiety, depression, or family stressors, impacting a child’s well-being
- Caregiver difficulties in supporting their child’s health goals, including motivation for change, routine-building, or navigating resources
Prices:
Intake: $195.00/60 minutes
Follow Up Consultations: $195.00/60 minutes
Through the launch of the Live Well Kids Clinic, we aim to deliver holistic, evidence-based care that supports the physical, emotional, and social well-being of children and adolescents. This pilot represents a significant step toward developing integrated care pathways for a complex and rapidly growing patient population.
