Acupuncture in Victoria

“Marisa Covantes is amazing! She’s super knowledgeable and has a warm touch that really makes a difference. My strong headaches have nearly vanished, and my stress levels are way down. I feel so relaxed during and even after her acupuncture/acupressure, far superior to anything else I've experienced. I highly recommend her!“

“My appointment today with Dr. Amy Gilchrist was very informative and valuable. I learned a lot and feel confident in my decisions into the future. Thank you.“

“Julia Alpini is, hands down, one of the best massage therapists in Canada. As a massage therapy instructor myself, I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon her services in Victoria. Her approach is both precise and wholistic; a unique style to master! Highly recommend.“

“I’ve been to many places over a year and a half. My lower back pain was something I got used to. Thank to Dr Vedova I can finally stand straight and pain free. Worth every penny.“

“Had the best massage i have ever had before with Erika — highly recommend!! Can’t wait to see her again“

“I worked with Luna for 6 months (through two Alignment Journeys) in 2020-2021 and I am writing this testimonial now, at the end of 2024. Looking back, I am still so grateful that I said yes to my intuition and made this commitment. Luna is a beautiful guide, embodied in the medicine she offers.

The acupuncture treatments she gives are unlike any other I have received. My body + mind + spirit were very responsive. Luna was able to help navigate the journey as we sifted through layers of complex symptoms. I shed many layers and became equipped with effective ways to move through my health issues and this led to me making life changing choices for the better, which propelled even deeper healing.

I always knew of our interconnected and multi-dimensional nature, and Luna was able to bridge science and spirit with my own lived experiences so I could ground in a foundation for my continued path of healing. This choice I made 4 years ago to work with Luna was a pivotal moment in my life and much of the guidance she offered then I still put into practice today. I highly recommend working with Luna!“

“Genevieve is an amazing acupuncturist and healer with empowering energy and insights. She is intuitive, caring, and provides awesome service. I highly recommend Genevieve’s acupuncture and healing therapies to all.“

“Owen is very thorough and professional. His explanations were easy to understand. I appreciated knowing the why behind my dysfunctions and the areas he was treating as well. He is also very kind and understanding. I would definitely recommend his acupuncture.“

“Walking into the Mandala Center is in itself a relaxing experience. Emiko, my massage therapist, is wonderful! She is kind, thoughtful, listens and adapts to my body's changing needs with a healing touch. Highly recommend!“

“I had cranial sacral sessions with Julia while navigating some pretty serious burn out. Not only is Julia’s presence very calming but her skill as a CS practitioner is tops. Whatever she did definitely helped to finally shift things for me (and I’d tried a lot up to that point). I’m so grateful. The space is also really neat and curated with all kinds of beautiful things for the body, mind and soul that you could browse through all day. 10/10.“

“Sophie listened to my concerns then suggested treatments. I wish I had attended sooner, made a world of difference to me“

“I have been trying to find a person who would work on my issues with the proper pressure so finding Haley is awesome. She worked just the right pressure and when I left I felt much better I look forward to our future sessions ?“

“I love atlas, they are very caring and I always leave feeling so refreshed, highly recommend“

“I went to VCA for some acupuncture and herbal support a few years ago, but have been going regularly to see Jessica Joy for massage and cranial sacral body. Her work is amazing and I get so much more out of her magic hands than going to see a traditional RMT.

My only complaint is that the table is still and quite high for me to get up on, especially in pregnancy. I can tell there's some techniques Jessica does on me that would be much easier on her body if the table was able to move my body into a better position. These tables probably worked ok when it was just an acupuncture business, but now that there's other modalities the business owner needs to get some new tables in please!“

“Genevieve Bussieres is an extraordinarily skilled practitioner of acupuncture, traditional Chinese massage therapy, and reflexology. I've seen her for two separate conditions -- persistent chronic upper-body injuries, and neuropathy/numbness in both feet. She made more progress on these than five other practitioners I've seen for them (all good, in various specialties -- physio, massage, rolfing). She listens carefully, diagnoses precisely, treats effectively, doesn't over-promise, always over-delivers. She also uses time effectively (moves fast but gently), and is totally pleasant and straightforward to deal with. I would -- and do -- travel a long distance to Victoria just to get treated by her.“

“Hemma consistently provides caring and professional therapy in a tranquil, relaxing setting.

“I've had wonderful prenatal care from Stephanie. I saw her last at 39 weeks pregnant and my water broke the next morning :) The clinic is beautiful and Stephanie is highly knowledgeable and extremely warm and caring. I highly recommend visiting Elements for a "needle nap"! Look forward to returning postpartum.“

“Matthew did an amazing job. I went in with tightness and stress in my neck, shoulders, and upper back. After the treatment I feel completely relaxed and rejuvenated. Thank you Matthew! Highly recommend.“

“Otis introduced me to a level of deep healing that I never knew was possible for me. To experience the container that Otis creates is pure magic and I am so grateful for this beautifully compassionate, intuitive, knowledgeable and gifted human! ❤️“

“ive been a client of Sakrid for over 2 years and I will keep coming back. I had a spectacular acupuncturist before I met Marika but I chose to try her services during a pregnancy and postpartum. she is so fantastic and personable, knowledgeable and effective. I always leave my sessions relaxed and refreshed and with advice and recomendations.“

“Back to back is the best! Stacey and Kaho are incredible RMTs. I also adore Samantha (chiropractor/naturopathic doctor), as well as Clara (acupuncture). The reception staff are also amazing and friendly. You can’t go wrong by going here.“

“Best physiotherapist ever. Broken hip from bike accident and Ross has worked a miracle.“

“Wei Chi is truly exceptional. After just my second appointment for dry eyes, I was able to discontinue my eye drop medication entirely. Since then, I’ve experienced noticeable improvements in my overall well-being. I've lost weight, my joint pain has significantly decreased, and I feel a renewed sense of balance and harmony. Wei Chi genuinely cares about her patients and consistently goes above and beyond. I am deeply grateful for her care and expertise.“

“JJ is excellent. She is so nice, listens carefully and exactly knows how to solve the problem.“
