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.
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!
Changes to our cancellation policies, commencing Sept 1st!
As we approach the chaotic back-to-school season, the annual late summer wave of respiratory illness is well on it’s way. This is an opportune time to remind our client base about the importance of our GENEROUS cancellation policies.
We require 12 hrs notice for cancellations or rescheduling of appointments for our Community Acupuncture and Cupping + Gua Sha services.
Additionally, unless you wake up ill and call us first thing in the morning, there is a 4 hr cut-off for short notice cancellations. Anything less than 4 hrs is subject to our $35 late cancellation fee.

Introducing Meghan Thom, Registered Clinical Counsellor
Meghan (she/her) grew up in the Scottish countryside with a Glaswegian father and a Canadian mother who was raised in Yellowknife. Inspired by her mother’s collection of Inuit art, and her parent’s travel stories, she set off for Pearson College in Metchosin in 2005. This experience informed her commitment to social justice, and interest in world cultures.
In Victoria, Meghan also works at the Victoria Child Abuse Prevention and Counselling Centre supporting young people and their families. In private practice Meghan combines psychodynamic theory with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), Dance Movement Therapy and Family Constellations. Therapy sessions often involve sitting on the sofa and talking, but Meghan will offer options including movement, stretching, music, mindfulness and meditation, using props and some basic art materials. In Meghan’s perspective, therapy is about becoming yourself.
Find Meghan in our schedule MONDAYS 9:30am – 2:30pm
