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). We also offer affordable Cupping Therapy sessions as a compliment to our acupuncture services at $40-70 sliding scale. 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.
Green Muse Herbs is an herbal apothecary, specialized in farm-direct medicinal herbs and handcrafted plant medicines, which we offer to our local community along side custom herbal formulating, compounding and dispensing. We are passionate sourcing practices that prioritize the care of the land, its peoples, and the plants we’re harvesting from. Understanding that all herbal knowledge is cultural knowledge, we seek to build cross-cultural solidarity and healthy communities through accessible plant medicine education.
We look forward to cocreating a welcoming, inclusive, accessible and culturally grounded wellness hub in the heart of Quadra Village!
We are looking for the following modalities
