FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
(HALIFAX, NS, NOVEMBER 5, 2025) – The arrival of Exomind TMS therapy in Halifax is an exciting development for mental health and wellness in Atlantic Canada, says one doctor and mental health expert.
“It’s powerful enough to change the brain, but safe and convenient enough to fit into real life,” says Dr. Christine McClelland, the psychiatrist leading the Exomind TMS program at Body Works Med Spa & Wellness.
TMS stands for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. Non-invasive and drug-free, traditional TMS is well-regarded in mental healthcare as a safe and effective therapy for medication-resistant depression with no long-term side effects.
Exomind TMS is an optimized version of traditional TMS. It treats a broader range of mental health and wellness conditions, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, binge-eating disorder, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, brain fog, and insomnia. It also usually involves fewer treatments and works faster, which improves a significant barrier to mental healthcare – time.
The program has made other accessibility improvements. For example, a mental health diagnosis is not required, it welcomes self-referrals, and there are no wait times. At Body Works Med Spa & Wellness, Exomind TMS is generally less expensive than traditional TMS.
“Medication is often lifesaving, but it doesn’t work for everyone and there can be side effects,” says Dr. McClelland. “Even when medication does work, Exomind TMS can still improve quality of life. It can be used alone or to boost the efficacy of medication.”
Exomind TMS is a comfortable therapy that uses magnetic field energy to stimulate the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which is the area of the brain responsible for cognitive control, managing attention and impulses, and regulating emotions.
“It’s not about pushing happiness, calmness, impulse control, or anything else into the brain,” Dr. McClelland continues. “It’s about building resilience in the brain through neurostimulation, and we can all benefit from that.”
Despite its excellent safety and efficacy profiles, TMS is a lesser-known mental health therapy. With celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Serena Williams, Tracy McGrady, and Lil Jon going public about their Exomind TMS experiences, more people are becoming aware of this mental health and wellness solution.
