I have nothing but GREAT things to say about Acupuncture & Massage clinic on the south side (except…read moreI wish they were located closer to work/home). Bought a Groupon on a whim and it's turned out great so far. The Groupon was for 4 sessions and guess what, it only cost $62 (deal yo!). I've gone three weeks in a row to work on a few past injuries I've had (shoulder, ankle and jaw) and Tracy has been absolutely fantastic. She is very knowledgeable, explains what she is doing and uses a variety of techniques. I've had acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion and gua sha done on me. They also provide insurance receipts if you have coverage with work. Normal price is $70 for acupuncture but if you buy a package deal (5/10 sessions), you can get a sweet deal. Just ask. Highly recommend. They also do massages but I haven't had one here yet.

After having numerous other treatments from the doctor including cortisone shots and multiple…read moremassages to help out a shoulder problem, to no avail. I decided to give acupuncture a try! I booked in with Tracey who learned her practice in China and she really made me feel at ease when asking about my issues and preparing me for my first acupuncture session. The room smelled like smoke and I thought maybe the person was getting acupuncture to quit smoking and this was part of the therapy haha But no it was a heat therapy she also used on my back too and it was really fascinating. I had needles placed up my neck, shoulder blades, lower back and one right on the top of my head. The needles going into the muscles in my shoulders were connected to a machine sending electric shocks to stimulate and relieve tension. It felt like a gentle tapping and it did feel good at the time. She also did cupping on the rest of my back and left me for 20 mins with soothing music on. She returned and gave me a massage in the areas she felt were tender and this helped immensely. The cool thing is she gave me her diagnosis, and some stretches to do at home etc. She said if I'm still in pain to come back in three weeks but the stretches and continued yoga should help. I was impressed she didn't just want me to keep coming back and I genuinely felt she was trying to help me find a real solution. When I went to pay the machine didn't prompt to tip so I asked the receptionist about it and she thought I said tap. I think she thought I was complaining they didn't have tap. I was actually very impressed and wanted to show my gratitude.

I have been a patient of Dr V's for about 8 years. I truly believe that she saved my life. When my…read morefamily doctor said she was concerned about my kidney readings there was a very long silence as I waited to hear what she suggested be done to correct it. When it became obvious that she had nothing to offer, I asked if I should drink more water. Her reply was yes just drink more water. The way she said it did not leave me with the confidence that she was sure. I had never been to a Naturopath before but figured it would be worth trying. When Dr V looked at my blood work, she indicated that she understood why my doctor was concerned and indicated that my kidneys were dying. I asked if it was reversable to which she said of course. She set me up on a supplement and said it would take about 10 to 12 months to get my kidneys back to health. A year later my blood work showed that my kidneys were just about back to normal. Since that time each time I have my annual physical I take the bloodwork to Dr V for review and she has guided me through it with the answers I need to address the issues that show up in the blood. I am 68 years old and thanks to Dr V I am not on any of the medications my family doc has tried to get me on over the years. Each time a medication is suggested, I talk to Dr V and she has had the answer either through a supplement or a dietary change that corrects the issue. Most recently I asked her what is the next step in me being proactive in keeping my health instead of waiting for an issue to occur. I just completed a routine to reduce the plaque in my system. I absolutely feel the improvement in a number of the areas this process has said it will including reduced brain fog, more energy and so much more. Thank you Dr V for being who you are and for the quality of life that I enjoy largely because of your guidance

I had a groupon to use for acupuncture. I have had acupuncture many times before, so was looking…read moreforward to it. Well was I in for a surprise, it wasn't just acupuncture. After filling out my forms he decided to concentrate on the major areas of concern for this session which was my neck, shoulders, back, lower back and my glutes (bum cheeks). I first received a vigorous massage on those areas, the pressure hard. I loved it! Finally a massage where they work those muscles! I could literally feel the heat of his hands as he worked those areas, my back was hot! Than I received acupuncture, on those areas with a tens machine attached to it. He covered me up and left me for a bit to relax. Just as I was about to snore, he came in and than did cupping. I have been cupped numerous times and usually its about 6 cups. No cups were spared: my back, shoulders, neck, hips and bum were cupped! My cups over runneth! Cups with acupuncture and tens machine! The triple whammy! He covered me up and left me to be for a bit. Well I full fledged crashed and woke myself up with my snoring! After that was done, he wiped the areas with a warm wet cloth, gave a quick rub to stipulate the areas, had me flip over and turned down the lights. I got my toes cracked and my fingers as well (which if you never have done, you must.) So satisfying! lol . He gave a face rub, head massage and than my session was over. Will I be back?? Damn skippy I will be back! In two weeks! I walked out of that clinic like a new woman! Can't wait for my next session!

I LOVE going over there because he loves what he does! He's very experienced yet always studying--the breadth and depth of his knowledge in ALL health areas is astounding. He is also kind, gentle, a deep listener and has such intuitive intelligence in supporting your healing process. He keeps changing as you do, to truly "meet" you where you are at any moment. I relax the minute I walk through those doors, knowing I'm in such good hands. He treats you like you are a dear family member and it matters everything to him to help you all he possibly can. I've experienced many types of Chinese and Alternative doctors, many truly wonderful, but he is the best by far. You cannot really give a person like that a title, like "Chinese" or "Alternative" Doctor, because what he does goes so, so far beyond all that.

As a long time client for 8 years, who has been personally asked this year to give a "testimony"…read morefor the website...I am sad to say, Wellness on Whyte has become toxic and unprofessional. I am no longer recommending them. They use to be different, and have changed... Bullying, defaming character, playing games, lying... not a way to keep your business alive by allowing staff to treat people with frequent relational aggression, etc without addressing professionalism. Reason #1 to avoid Wellness: If a spa is not toxic, Practitioners should not be constantly bullying clients into getting less services by devaluing their pain and disabilities. WOW staff are taking their personal problems out on their clients. It's actually been difficult to adjust to being treated professionally at other businesses/clinics... being respected, listened to, and valued feels odd... that's how toxic Wellness has become. I've felt such relief since I've stopped supporting WOW... you actually get treated well at other businesses/clinics! "No, I still need weekly treatment, means no, I still need weekly treatment." Clients should not have to say this over and over. As my physiotherapist remarked, clients should not have to validate their chronic pain to you, it's your job to listen. Initially, I gave them a chance to remedy it, however, in the end, I can't trust a place of business with my pain that supported this unprofessional and disrespectful behaviour from an RMT. When I was not well enough one week to get specific feedback to the massage therapist right away, I was told she no longer wanted to work with me. After 8 years of trusting someone, it was a shock. I broke the silence about unprofessionalism, and was fired as a client for it. Unsettling. Reason #2 to avoid Wellness: As another example, the STAFF centred care has become out of control... Products should not be taken off the shelf so you can't buy them and placed back out later. I started buying online so the staff could not lie to me about how much was left of a particular facial product... it's truly unprofessional. Wellness on Whyte has become unprofessional and has come away from client centred care. It's sad. One of the causes may be that the practitioners themselves use the products and services of Wellness, which is already a very small business. Wellness has limited appointments! When the practitioners see you booking services in advance, they become upset. The business model is flawed: It is another reason why it's become toxic. You can't have practitioners pressuring clients to cancel other appointments they genuinely want and need because they themselves want the services/ are horse trading with other practitioners in Wellness. If Wellness was not allowing their practitioners to "horse trade" services etc within the company, then there wouldn't be practitioners competing with clients for appointment spots. Again, highly unprofessional. Reason #3 to avoid Wellness: The more money you spend here, the more jealous the staff becomes and the meaner they get. It's bad business to let your staff bully your best clients. The LESS money you spend here, the MORE they will respect you. A clinic where the staff get a mean attitude when you give them more business, is not a place to be. In conclusion, I never thought after years of supporting this business that they would shift in such an unprofessional direction. They even somehow got my review removed from another platform, which is why I had to post on Yelp, where they cannot manipulate my review. Interesting how they do business here.... I wouldn't trust them with your credit card either, as they will charge you for half your appointment cost, even when you had unavoidable sickness or emergencies. They will waive the cost one time, and not again. The new polices allow them to rip you off, and it will cost you even if you don't get a reminder they were supposed to send. It's truly shocking how much the money matters most here, and yet on the other hand, the more money you spend, the more they treat you mean out of jealousy. Very unprofessional. My advice? Spend your money somewhere they actually want you to! LOL

I was really looking forward to my appointment but I cancelled before I had it…read more I went online and used the online booking option, first mistake. After that I received 5 emails from Red Leaf Wellness. The first one was to confirm my appointment and I think that's fair and completely standard for business. The second was an email about the scheduling, the third was to confirm the confirmation I had made by a) making the appointment and b) by confirming the first email, the fourth email was a reminder emailing about my appointment, the fifth email was to get me to sign up for their patient records and fill out the intake forms. If your still with me after all that confusion with emails and annoyance of all the emails there is more! This is all one day after making my online booking for a week and half from now. Then after the emails I received a phone call from the office to tell me about the emails and that I haven't completed them. A few minutes later I received a text message about my appointment. I did not agree to text messages or emails but clearly that doesn't matter. I was also told I would need to provide a credit card so that if there was a last minute cancellation or a no show they would charge me. I understand this is for the protection of your business, but I haven't even walked in the door and you want my credit card. I'm trusting complete strangers based on their website with my well being, but after 5 harassing emails and a phone call to inform me I haven't completed your forms, I'm then told you require a credit card?? I'm supposed to trust you with my personal information, but you can't trust me for my first appointment? I canceled my appointment, and when asked if I want to rebook I said no. I was speaking with one of the two practitioners who runs this business. I would think when I said no there would have been more of a conversation about why I was cancelling. Oh well. Here's my review. I will find some where else to have acupuncture done.

I've gone here 3 times recently for accupuncture. The first time, I saw Dr. Joe and the other times…read moreI saw his wife, Dr. Jane. They were both very nice and listened attentively to the issues I was having with my neck, shoulders and headaches. They were both keen to help. At the end of each accupuncture treatment, they did cupping on my back. Cupping is not the most comfortable experience but combined with the accupuncture, the benefits and relief are amazing. It's not a fancy spa in a great location - so if you put that idea aside, then it's good. The only off putting part for me is the burning smell inside. I think they burn something for a particular treatment but it smells throughout the building and I don't enjoy it. I find the smell lingers on me after I've left. But it doesn't stop me from going back. Interesting fact - Dr. Joe teaches at MacEwan and has for a really long time.

I have massages from Teresa and Barkley and acupuncture from Dr. Jane, Dr. Joe and Barkley and have no hesitation referring any of the staff! Most actually teach at Grant Mac as well. If you have an issue with needles, let them know and they will out you at ease. Acupuncture does not cause pain and you will feel soooooo much better after a treatment. If you need traditional Chinese herbs or medicine the clinic also supplies it.
