Our mission

Heart & Hands Health Collective is a grassroots, locally-owned and community-focused Community Acupuncture & Holistic Health clinic in Lekwungen Territories, in the heart of downtown Victoria BC.

We are working to transform community health into community wealth by providing compassionate and accessible services to our community. We uphold the belief that community acupuncture is a tool for social change, shifting societal views about self-care, the use of traditional modalities for prevention as well as supporting our organization and its hardworking practitioners.
