Ready to stop healing in isolation?
Welcome to the Queer Healing Collective (QHC), a vibrant grassroots queer community hub for heart-centred dialogue and profound self-discovery.
QHC was founded on the desire to heal in community. Co-creating nurturing spaces where all intersections of queer identity can be deeply introspective and delightfully silly.

The QHC Way
Healing Through Connection
The Queer Healing Collective offers a refreshingly intentional approach to 2SLGBTQIA+ community building and healing. We address a major gap in the queer community by creating spaces that integrate diverse experiences—combining social gatherings with programming that fosters real connection and growth.
We plan and coordinate these elements in ways that feel organic, creative, and sustainable. Our co-created model centers ongoing mental wellness, cultivating queer community well-being that has depth, is meaningful, and fun.
No Queer Person Left Behind
QHC is a compassion-centered space where queer people witness and are witnessed. We create an accessible, supportive, intersectional, and collaborative environment for everyone. To foster connection and belonging outside traditional institutions and corporate structures.
Every Queer Story Welcome
Whether you're just coming out and looking for community, feeling isolated as the only queer person in your circles, ready to explore embodied and creative healing beyond traditional therapy, or you're a queer therapist or caregiver who gives so much to others and needs community support—you belong here. Every queer journey deserves community, and every stage of healing deserves support.
Wisdom Without Walls
QHC partners with healers, clinicians, teachers, and artists of all kinds—psychotherapists, social workers, psychologists, art and expressive arts therapists, trainers, burlesque dancers, drag artists, spiritual leaders, and subject matter experts. We don't believe in gatekeeping healing or deciding who gets to share wisdom. Our diverse partnerships reflect our commitment to accessible, community-led healing that honours all forms of knowledge and transformation.

Community Stories
What People Are Saying
The evening was incredible from start to finish. Hearing others share their stories taught me so much, and I was amazed to discover how many of my own thoughts and experiences were reflected in what others shared. It felt so validating to know I wasn't alone in my journey.

The intimate setting was perfect! The group size felt just right, the space was welcoming, and Luke and Ginny created such a beautiful container for connection. You could tell it attracted exactly the people who needed to be there, everything about the evening felt authentic and aligned.

What meant the most to me was having the freedom to step back when I needed to. That sense of safety was profound. I could protect myself without explanation, justification, or judgment. The space held both my courage and my boundaries with equal respect.
