Our Vision
Behind the Vision:
Meet our Founder, Taylor Smeenk
HBSc DC FIA CFMP
Taylor Smeenk is the CEO and Founder of Empact Wellness. Educated as a chiropractor and advanced as a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, her career sits at the intersection of root‑cause medicine, systems thinking, and whole‑body care.
Her path was forged through personal experience: after suffering five concussions in a two‑year period, she developed and then healed herself from cervical cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, PMDD, chronic pain, eczema, and acne. When she and her own family fell through the gaps in the conventional healthcare system, she realized the world needed a different kind of clinic — one where mental, physical, and integrative health are understood as one connected whole.
That realization became Empact Wellness: a collective approach to whole‑body health. Built from one team, one roof, and one clear plan. What began as a commitment to her local Burlington community has grown into a model designed to help people move beyond symptom management worldwide – to empower people with an understanding of the underlying drivers of chronic, complex disease and build proactive, long‑term strategies without endless referrals, fragmented care, or the frustration of the broken system.
Testimonials
What Our Clients Say
"Working with Donna Zmenak is a wonderful gift. What I appreciate most about working with her is that she doesn't give me more things to figure out, she reminds me of what is already known deep down inside of me. When I get caught in overthinking, analyzing, or trying to figure everything out, she gently guides me back to myself. She reminds me that, during this process of self-discovery, I don't need to "work". Instead, I can simply remember what I already know; that healing doesn't have to be hard work. And truly, trusting my joy, and what feels good, is truly what matters most. She reminds me that following what lights me up is not a distraction from the path - it's often the path itself. Thank you Donna. It's a pleasure working with you and being in your world."
"Taylor, our time working together was the best experience I have had in terms of Healthcare. You listened and made me feel genuinely cared for. Which no other doctors have. And I have seen improvements like I haven't seen before either. You also helped me get passed some mental blocks in my health and overall wellbeing. I appreciate you very much and thank you for getting me as far as this in our time together."
