Luna Bella Wilder, affectionately known as Luna, is ReFresh Psychotherapy’s fluffiest team member and undisputed heartthrob. A proud cockapoo with lashes that stop traffic and a nose for emotional nuance, Luna brings her unique brand of warmth, wisdom, and wiggle to every corner of the clinic.

Her therapeutic approach is rooted in presence, connection, and being really, really cute. Whether she’s curled up beside a client during a tough moment, modelling self-care with a perfectly timed nap, or gently encouraging walk breaks (for both physical and emotional regulation), Luna reminds us all to slow down and savour the moment.

In her downtime, Luna enjoys belly rubs, forest hikes, snowflake snacking, and philosophizing on tree stumps. She takes her role in the ReFresh ecosystem seriously — mostly — unless there’s a squirrel.

Favourite Self-Care Ritual: Chasing a tennis ball, dramatic stretches, soft blanket burrows, and gazing deeply into the soul of whoever’s holding the treat.

Fun Fact: Luna has never once double-booked herself or forgotten to eat lunch — true mental health icon.
