A wonderful already established community centre, it has opened its heart and hands to so many people in this city and continues to do so…

My first experience with acupuncture was right here at Heart & Hands in 2013. Christina and multiple other acupuncturists through the following months warmly welcomed me to this lovely community clinic. I was healing from an injury and felt supported and cared for.

After a while I continued my healing practice by volunteering at Heart & Hands’ front desk. Like-minded people who wanted to give back to the community surrounded me and this ultimately encouraged me to be proactive in the centre and in my own life.

Why acupuncture? I had heard about the benefits for anxiety and pain management and at the time I was in major need of that. And that is exactly what I received, I felt heard and listened to which isn’t always the case in western medicine practices. As a retired practical nurse, I cannot say enough how hospitals lack in the public support and bed side manner.

Acupuncturists work with your body as a whole not just narrowing their focus towards one area but investigating the symptoms completely as well as prevention management. Heart & Hands is… A wonderful already established community centre, it has opened its heart and hands to so many people in this city and continues to do so. I am proud to say I once volunteered there and love letting people know that is the best place to get community acupuncture. The acupuncturists are informed, honest and heart-driven people.

Thank you Heart & Hands for guiding me when I didn’t even know I needed guidance.
