I found this spa on Google map and made a booking via email. The only mistake I made was not…read morechecking or confirming the price of the massage. I was charged $10 more than what was stated on the website price list. I was too relaxed and not alert to verify and destroy the sense of tranquility during payment. There was no cash register and it was a handwritten receipt. I didn't realize the spa is inside a residential home when I made the booking. There is no proper parking area and you will have to park by the side of the busy highway between Davis Bay and Sechelt. Linda does attach pictures of where to park in the email. There is also no sign of where the spa is except for the small sign hanging outside the garage door with the house number. At first I thought it is inside the garage but after walking around it, it didn't seem possible. I finally figured out I had to walk down the steps and through a walkway into a garden. I was still filled with trepidation that I could be trespassing and entering a wrong place. At the house, there was another small sign pointing to where the spa was. It was by the side of the house with a separate entry. The treatment room was lovely. It contained two beds so you could have a couple session. The room looked out into the ocean which was beautiful. Unfortunately since you would be lying face down most of the time, you don't really get to enjoy it. The massage was excellent! Linda was really good and I felt the knots disappeared from my body and I was really relaxed at the end of the treatment. Now that I know where to park and how to get into the spa, i will definitely book another session with Linda when I'm in the area again.

I bought the three hour package, which begins in the hot tub overlooking snow capped mountains and tranquil harbor. Then on to Lomi Lomi, which I'd never heard of before. To say this is a massage doesn't convey the service. Dhyana is a healer of the truest form. If you are open to her gift your session can be life changing. She starts with singing and prayer, beautiful melodies that roll through your heart and break away any blocked energy. All the while she is performing massage, which is very relaxing. Now that's its been a week since my service, I've noticed that I feel 'lighter', like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I experience more joy and compassion, and seeing more of it returned to me. It's truly magical. I would recommend this experience to anyone who suspects they are missing something from life. Inner Moves is just the place to find it!

MYoga is a lovely studio. Lots of space, windows, great floors, friendly vibe…read more Sam was the teacher for a hatha flow class, and it was a lovely practice. Just the right amount of challenge - not too hard, not too soft. I am not a huge fan of new agey windchime type music that seems so prevalent in yoga studios, but I can usually tune it out - and it's better than hearing myself gasp for air! Worth trying!

I have had the privilege of working with the Lezara Team for 12 months and have experienced several…read moreof their treatments and products to support healthy, glowing skin. I have had multiple treatments of: Venus Viva, Hydrafacial, Laser Hair Removal, Mesotherapy, IPL, Botox (all with the lovely Valencia, professional, experienced and feels like sunshine for your soul), a dermoscope exam to check for any concerning moles (along with a few removals including Basal Cell Cancer), and have incorporated a comprehensive home skincare routine with ZO products. The primary reason I started with Lezara was to address hormonal cystic acne. Along with these treatments and products, I have also undergone systemic acne treatment directed by Lezara's GP Dermatologist, Dr. Malherbe. This is my first time partaking in medical grade skincare treatments and products supervised by a physician, and I am delighted with the Lezara Team's knowledge, experience, and professionalism. Equally amazing is their warm hospitality, genuine care and conversation, and customer service. One of my favourite aspects of the Lezara program is the regular follow up consults with Dr. Malherbe to assess progress and determine next steps to achieving goals. If you haven't had the honour of meeting him, Dr. Malherbe is one of a kind. He is truly a jack of all trades (he even delivered my son via emergency C section, performed his circumcision and my husband's vasectomy). Dr. G deeply values the mental health of his patients and acknowledges their health beyond the physical. Dr. Malherbe's extensive, world class training and experience, his work ethic, his ability to communicate and connect, and his values are at the helm of Lezara. Many patients including myself, come to Lezara to help restore and preserve their appearance in order to feel more radiant, resulting in a greater sense of self esteem. Natural aging, as well as growing and raising tiny humans, can take a toll on a woman's body! I highly recommend Lezara to anyone desiring to feel more radiant, vibrant and beautiful, which will ultimately elevate the confidence with which they show up in this world!

Yoga by the Sea has several classes conducted by different instructors and my review is only for…read morethe Therapeutic Yoga/Tensegrity class by Lyne. I emailed Lyne about joining the class as it was a pre-registered session. I was given the green light on the day itself. I didn't bring my yoga mat on this trip and told Lyne and she very kindly brought an extra mat for me. The studio also stocked other items for students to use - yoga blocks, blankets, pillows etc. The studio space was pretty cozy and warm. When Lyne led the chants, the sound reverberated and was quite soothing to the ears and body. The class was wonderful and Lyne was a star! She really checked on the students, ensuring we were doing the postures correctly and if we were ok. The session helped so much in releasing the tightness in the body. I really liked this type of restorative yoga which was gentle on the body. I had also attended a 3-hour yoga workshop conducted by Lyne at the Sechelt Aquatic Centre and it was equally great! Lyne was very knowledgeable and passionate about the body anatomy and passed on the information to the students so that we could better understand and visualize how each part of the body and muscles are connected. I highly recommend any class by Lyne at this studio. Parking is available in the small lot or by the street.

The owner of YBTS, Marney, teaches several classes during the week and on the weekend. She is…read moreusually late for every class she teaches by about 5-10 mins - rarely is she on time for a class. And the class always runs long so it's hard to schedule anything in when going to one of her classes. She's late so often that she's given some of her students keys to the studio so that they can open up, make tea, light candles, get music playing and welcome students - they're also expected to lay out her mat for her so she can just walk in when she finally gets there and sit down and start class. She has told the classes on many occassions that she "doesn't care" about being late and that she accepts that about herself - but what about those of us who work and have appointments? Marney has told us students many times, that the class she's teaching that day is what SHE needs to do, not what we might need, though she sometimes does take requests. The classes are often very slow and boring. She talks alot about herself and shares way too many personal things about her life, her ex-husband, her son - she doesn't seem to understand or respect personal boundaries of participants. She's offering Yoga Teacher Training for the first time. I heard that the 3rd weekend of training, she left her students to go work as a Doula for 2 days - she told her students to teach themselves different yoga postures and then teach each other a class one morning without any guidance from her. Other teachers at YBTS are wonderful - Jools leads a very active class and is wonderful, Lyne has a beautiful class, Edie is radient and lovely, Nicola is fantastic. The workshops used to be much better - now they're repetitive and boring. She's not getting good, vibrant people into the studio for interesting workshops. I'm voting with my feet and won't be back.

I need to warn everyone about my recent experience with 2545 Salon & Spa (875 Gibsons Way #102)…read more On October 14, 2025 I paid $93.45 (tax in) for an "Unlimited Monthly Tanning Pass". What actually happened: -Used it successfully only three times. -Next three visits (during posted hours) the salon was randomly closed. The first 2 times had no notice. The third time, just a sticky note saying "understaffed, appointments only and to call the Sechelt location. -I called asking what was going on and if I could get a refund or extension since I tried numerous times to use my package. It's only for a month so I only have so much time to use it and when the hours on google are posted as OPEN, I should be able to access the beds. Owner Lauralye replied by email, said I was being aggressive on the phone and banned me. Completely false information. I never even raised my voice so this one threw me for a loop. When I kept asking for my money back, she permanently banned me in the same email thread. They offered a partial refund which was never received. I left a 100% factual 1-star Google review with receipts attached they got it removed/hidden. Now they are leaving themselves fake google review. Laughable. When I kept pushing, they threatened me with legal action and accused me of being "aggressive" (I have every email -- I was nothing but polite the entire time). Zero refund, zero apology. So yeah - they have no problem stealing people's hard-earned money, then threatening to sue you if you dare speak up. I cannot believe I have to go through this for ninety-three freaking dollars that they simply decided to keep. I have my receipt, and the entire email chain (including the ban, the legal threats, the fake "aggressive" accusation, and the deleted review). Happy to privately show everything to anyone who messages me. Please think twice before you hand this place any prepaid money - tanning packages, gift cards, whatever. I've now had to file with Civil Resolution Tribunal (CRT) and my credit card company for a chargeback. Just posting this so nobody else in Gibsons loses almost $100 and then gets threatened for daring to complain. Sad that it has come to this but I have exhausted every option and tried my best to deal with this privately. Unfortunately I have been pushed too far. It's almost Christmas and these days, every dollar makes a difference. This is my hard earned money after all. Support local... but not when the local business keeps your money, deletes your review, and threatens to sue you for telling the truth.
