About

Bergeron and Afif met dragon boating in Toronto in 2014 and started the company that October under the name healthSwapp, according to Embodia's own about page. The first product was a home exercise program practitioners could send to patients; online continuing-education courses, telerehab and practice-management software followed. Independent course creators sell on it, the Transforming Fitness course for gender-diverse clients, presented at TechTO's HealthTO in 2017, is delivered through Embodia. Bergeron hosted TechTO Health's weekly online panels in spring 2020 while running the company.
