I was referred to Heart & Hands by several friends and co-workers before I made the gentle leap into acu-heaven :) My first treatment was in 2013 and at that point I was quite literally suffering from stress and anxiety on a daily basis. Through regular treatments and helpful lifestyle advice, I am able to…
I have been a happy member of the Heart and Hands community since 2012. I hadn’t been living in Victoria for long before noticed a flyer in a downtown coffee shop advertising Reiki sessions at the previous Heart and Hands community location on Douglas Street. Little did I know this would lead me to meet…
I came to Heart & Hands when I felt like I had nothing to lose. My physical and emotional states were in crisis, and I felt helpless and vulnerable. I didn’t know at the time how profoundly impactful community acupuncture would be on my life. Heart & Hands is a space of honouring people, of…
I heard of Heart & Hands through the store “Self Heal Herbs”. I had recently moved into Victoria from Vancouver, I was suffering from Crohn’s and needed a smaller community as I began my healing journey.

I first met Christina at a meditation workshop a couple summers ago. I quickly took notice of how balanced her energy was and how in-tune she seemed. We got to talking and she told me all about Heart & Hands. Skip forward a year or so, I bump into Christina again, this time while I’m…
I became apart of the Heart & Hands community during my second semester of acupuncture school. Like many before me, I had felt the ‘go west’ call and had set out for B.C on a cross-country adventure. The thing with a solo move across the country, along with the excitement, is that it can be…
Heart & Hands has been a source of support and stability for me in so many ways over the past 4 years. I am fortunate to work so close to such a wonderful local business. I’ve had a very tumultuous few years with emotional and physical health issues. This came with some financial strain as…
