A Bit About IHTC
Integrated Health Transformation Centre Inc. is an incorporated nonprofit on PEI with a mission to provide education and healthcare services to supplement existing services. Our approach is on the whole person and is based on the bio-psycho-social-spiritual model of health and wellness.
​
Our focus will be prevention through lifestyle education and mentoring, treatment of stress-related illnesses, and breaking the transgenerational patterns of childhood trauma. We will integrate the latest neuroscience discoveries about neuroplasticity, with the fields of psychology, medicine and neurotheology.

IHTC History
2002-2005
2020 Highlight
2020-Present
In 2002 two couples, Dr. Hendrik and Catherine Visser, and Jack and Shirley Ferguson, founded Centre for Restoring Hope Inc., (CFRH) a registered charity incorporated in PEI and approved by Canada Revenue Agency in 2005. It offered Restorative Therapy services and medical services by Dr. Visser in Wholeness Family Clinic in Crapaud, PEI. CFRH also focused on international medical and spiritual needs by supporting short-term mission teams, particularly to Africa. It became dormant following Dr. Visser’s retirement from family practise and the sale of Wholeness Family Clinic.
In 2020, in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Visser’s and the Ferguson’s, saw the need for similar ministry given the immense needs of the Covid-19 pandemic. Rather than begin a new incorporated non-profit, it was decided to repurpose and rename Centre for Restoring Hope Inc. to Integrated Health Transformation Centre Inc. This change was approved by the PEI Department of Justice and Public Safety and Canada Revenue Agency.
IHTC is now a multidisciplinary team of doctors, coaches, trainers, and more - based out of PEI - purposing to help individuals, families and workplaces experience these four core areas (Mental, Spiritual, Physical, and Social) of human need in a balanced way, they are likely to thrive and to be resilient.
