Gavin Currie, Chief Operating Officer,
Gavin graduated with an Honours degree in Law from The University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. He later returned to his studies to pursue his passion of empowering people’s lives, gaining a Masters in Social Work from the prestigious University of Edinburgh. Upon graduating, Gavin harboured a specific interest in the field of addictions, spending several years within a multi-disciplinary addictions team of social work and medical professionals. He obtained a further qualification in Social Work Practice Learning and went on to teach and assess social work students in their various practice placements.
Within that period, he quickly discovered the system for treating addictions was in fact failing those it was meant to protect. This realization led him onto studying clinical hypnosis, training in London with renowned Harley Street therapist, Peter Salisbury, where he learned to use the power of the subconscious to influence addictive behaviours, positive choices and motivations for abstinence. From there, he became a master practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), whilst training personally with co-creators John Grinder and Carmen Bostic St. Clair in France, gaining valuable approaches to life coaching and behaviour change.
The real breakthrough for sustaining addiction recovery, however, came when Gavin began his training in Spain with Dr Grace Peyton of Quantum Change, learning about the energy matrix of the human body and the information it provides for self-regulation and healing. Thereafter, he trained with World Development Systems on advanced bio-resonance and quantum medicine, discovering that communication with the body’s consciousness itself (bio-feedback) was a key element to interpreting and correcting the imbalances within the body and mind. Within the functional medicine field, he travelled across Europe and the USA, learning from coveted physicians, such as Dr Roby Mitchell, MD, on the ‘intelligent design’ of the human body and the micro-nutrition required to accelerate healing and repair at a cellular level and from Dr Dietrich Kilnghardt, MD, on the ‘five levels of healing’ that the body requires for complete recovery.
Today, he combines the knowledge and experience gained from these talented individuals and diversified work environments in his evidence-based, practical approach towards addiction, trauma, brain health issues and recovery. Realising he had a shared philosophy with AGORA Regeneration Clinics Ltd, they formed a partnership, offering proven methods and unique protocols, unrivalled elsewhere in the world.
Dr Nick Jensen grew up in the small town of Osoyoos B.C and completed his undergraduate degree in Biology at Okanagan University College, now known as UBC Okanagan. He went on to attend Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine, graduating in 2007 as a licensed Doctor of Naturopathic medicine. Following graduation his desire to deepen his understanding of other healing modalities took him to South East Asia and India with his now wife and business partner Dr. Sonya Jensen.

The addition of this powerful and effective treatment into the clinic, along with the strong foundation in the holistic approach of Naturopathic medicine, gives Dr. Nick many ways to work with his patients in helping them achieve a life filled with balance and vitality.
Dr Sonya Jensen is a mom of two boys, a business owner, a yoga teacher, a workshop leader and a Women’s Health Expert. After years of working closely with women and their families her mission and purpose has become clear, to inspire women so they can live free and balanced lives.
She’s a graduate of British Columbia’s Simon Fraser University where she received a degree in Cell and Molecular Biology. Pulled in the direction of helping others since the age of five, Dr. Sonya pursued Naturopathic Medicine after University to explore the body’s healing potential and learn how to share it with patients.
Her work with women has taken her to places like Haiti, where she assisted a group of naturopathic doctor students with an organization called Mama Baby Haiti to provide maternal and pediatric health care at a birth centre in Mourne Rouge. This experience solidified for her that her passion lies in working with women and their families. She now runs monthly workshops for women to support them in all aspects of life.
In 2009, Dr. Sonya and her husband Dr. Nicholas Jensen opened Divine Elements Naturopathic Family Wellness in the Kitsilano neighborhood of Vancouver, British Columbia where they help clients create lasting changes in their overall health and well-being for the entire family.
Laura Parkinson is a therapeutic coach and advanced practitioner and trainer of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), whose work addresses the emotional and nervous-system roots of trauma, chronic stress, and the physical symptoms that so often accompany them.
Her foundation was built on the front lines: after earning her Social Work degree from the University of British Columbia, she spent nearly a decade in Child Welfare. She rose from frontline worker to Program Manager, overseeing a roster of group homes and more than 300 staff supporting high-risk youth in Ministry care. That work gave her an honest, intimate understanding of trauma, nervous-system overwhelm, and the long shadow unprocessed experience casts over the body, mind and spirit.
Drawn toward a more direct experience of healing, Laura left the system to train in EFT tapping, energy medicine, and somatic approaches to trauma. She has since supported hundreds of clients through one-on-one work, group programs, retreats, and live events, showing a particular gift for deep-feeling, high-functioning people who quietly carry far more than they let on. Warm, grounded, and unflinchingly direct, she helps people stop fighting their bodies and start listening to them—settling the nervous system, releasing long-held emotional weight, and rebuilding self-trust so that lasting change can take hold. Her belief, in her own words: "Your body isn't broken, it's communicating. Our work is to finally listen.
