Heart & Hands Health Collective
We are a Community Acupuncture & Holistic Health Collective in Lekwungen Territories (Quadra Village) sharing our nest with our sister business, Green Muse Herbs.
Heart & Hands Seeking Acupuncturist to offer Cupping (and possibly more…)
Heading into our 15th year of practice, Community Acupuncture has been our bread and butter, the engine driving our mission and principles at Heart & Hands. This practice model is a synthesis of all the elements that optimize the delivery of acupuncture to many, from our group treatment setting and sliding scale to our focus and dedication to Balance System Acupuncture and other distal style treatments that provide efficient and effective results.
We are primarily looking to fill vacant Cupping & Gua Sha shifts that compliment our Community Acupuncture services. This allows clients the option to book back-to-back Community Acupuncture sessions with Cupping. It is also a treatment alternative for clients who are needle-hesitant. Cupping & Gua Sha is already an established and highly sought after service, so this is a great opportunity to generate regular income.
Our intention is to find an individual who will integrate well into the Community Acupuncture practice at Heart & Hands.
With persistence and dedication, we have demonstrated that there is another, more innovative way to deliver traditional health care to our community. One that not only pays our bills, but also aligns with our politics and values. We invite inspired and motivated individuals who are looking for a long term “home” to join us.
Opportunities for Holistic Practitioners
Heart & Hands Health Collective, partnered with our sister business, Green Muse Herbs are looking for individuals who are social justice oriented, and interested in working with populations that may not have extended health benefits and/or those who are typically under-served by many holistic health services in Victoria.
Serving the community since 2010, Heart & Hands provides hundreds of streamlined acupuncture sessions each month, in a supportive group setting, all at an accessible sliding scale (currently $30-60/session). Community Acupuncture’s affordability, accessibility and inclusiveness makes it a profound tool for positive social change. Community Acupuncture reaches the segment of our community that is often priced-out of accessing higher-cost private practice acupuncture.
We look forward to co-creating a welcoming, inclusive, accessible and culturally grounded wellness hub in the heart of Quadra Village!

OUTSIDE(R) ART: doing art outside is good for us, by Sonya Gracey, Art Therapy Practicum Candidate
In June and July I will be offering some art therapy sessions outside! These sessions will be for folks who I have already had an first in-studio appointment with and we have decided this will be a good fit – so book-in with me and let’s chat!
I know outdoors is not an easy place for lots of folks – it can feel big and bright and overwhelming – so if this is not for you – that is A-OK! We can work in the studio together as outsiders with outside materials! And if you ever want to slowly start taking some of our time together outdoors we can do that, at your pace.
If Outside(r) Art sounds interesting to you and you want to know a bit more keep reading!
