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.

We are looking for practitioners with open-mindedness and willingness to serve a diverse client-base from all walks of life – meeting clients where they are at, and finding innovative ways to provide accessible options for treatment to those who need it as well as individuals who are motivated to build and grow a practice in parallel with our bustling, busy Community Acupuncture practice and Herbal Apothecary.

We look forward to co-creating a welcoming, inclusive, accessible and culturally grounded wellness hub in the heart of Quadra Village!

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.
