We have moved to 2612 Quadra St., just north of Kings Ave., on the ground floor of Blue Bird Cabs!
Rewind to 2007. I had just come back from travelling, was immersing myself in yoga, working a job I mostly loved and really believed in, but… I was also broken hearted, rather prone to anxiety and insomnia, very driven to prove myself as a worthy human, and very confused about how to put a life…
Heart and Hands is an example of how to be in great service to others. I feel accepted and loved by each acupuncturist and I feel I can surrender and trust each sessions. When I awake, I feel either lighter, calmer or I have a better sense of direction… Sometimes experiences speaks louder than words……
I am a practitioner at Heart & Hands Health Collective, but also an avid napper. Community acupuncture has been part of my routine for some years now, and always a happy part of my schedule. This winter I experienced a serious bout of illness which knocked me thoroughly out for a few months– and Heart…
I was first introduced to acupuncture by Christina back in 2008 and I was hooked. Due to moving around over the past few few years I had the opportunity to try other acupuncturists but I soon realized that none compared to my experience at Heart & Hands. Now that I am back in Victoria I’m…
Heart and Hands has been the place I go to heal. It’s a shared room that reminds me I am not alone. It is healthcare that listens to me, that validates me, and that makes me feel better. It supports me while I remember that healing is not linear. It allows me to access it…
I have complicated, chronic, multi-system, health issues, and over the last two years my life has changed beyond recognition. I’ve had to close my business as I have mobility issues, vision loss, and live in constant pain and with debilitating fatigue. Many days I am unable to get out of bed, due to the severity…
There have been some pretty significant experiences under this roof. My first time experiencing acupuncture was at the Heart & Hands Health Collective. I was amazed at the immediate effects, and suddenly I understood why so many people swear by it. I learned so much about my body with just one session, and I still…
Peddling away after an acu-nap, my mind is the clearest it’s been in recent memory. Navigating the frenetic downtown traffic with ease, I feel energetic yet calm, responding quicker to potential danger but with less emotional reaction. It feels like when I got glasses for the first time: you get used to living a certain…
I’ve been using acupuncture to help with ME and Fibromyalgia since 1995, and knew when I moved to Victoria that I needed to find a good acupuncturist. I lucked out completely as the first R.Ac. I found was Christina at Heart & Hands. She has kept me well and functioning for over 4 years. My…
I moved to Victoria in June 2015, looking for a softer, more natural world than the high rises of Toronto. When I expressed an interest in exploring the healing power of acupuncture, my cousin (a long-time Victoria resident) told me about Heart & Hands, calling it “the sweetest place ever”. Well, she was right. I…
