I was looking for someone who does acupuncture and came across Dr. Kathleen Bartlett in Scarborough so I gave her a call and I set up a package with her. IT'S THE BEST CALL THAT I COULD OF MADE! I think she is absolutely GREAT, I told her she was like Wonder Woman because of her excellent work. I have had jaw pain for 10 months and in just 2 visits the pain is gone and now being about 3 months later still no pain! I have a back pain that I have had for several years now, other doctors said it was nothing but working with her the pain is going away. She is also woking on me with Edema on my leg and waiting to see results on this, just started treatments on this. My biggest reason for coming here was I want to get off my blood pressure medication that I have been taking for years and between her treatments and the Chinese medicine my readings are SO much better so I know it will still take time but hoping next year I can throw those pills away for good! She is such a blessing to me, she is professional, caring and down to earth, love my visits with her. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone wishing to better their health! I just can't say enough, I truly think she's the best!!!!

They are located a little off the beaten path - in one of the building near the Portland Complex by the narrow gauge railway. When you walk it, you immediately feel a sense of calmness, as the environment just exudes peace. I checked in at reception 15 minutes prior to my appointment (per their request) and filled out a brief first time visitor form which allowed me to share some of the particular aches and pains that I'd like addressed during my massage. I was greeted by my masseuse, Nancy (also one of the owners), and we walked back to a nice room with a big window allowing for a lot of natural light. We chatted briefly about what I was looking for out of my massage and discussed key pain points for her to work on. And then, for the next 60+ minutes, I was in a perfect state of relaxation. At one point, I caught myself dozing off. This is not to say that the massage was light, as Nancy did a great job applying just the right amount of pressure, checking in at about the 5 minute mark and then letting me fall into my own zen-like state for the remainder of the time. My appointment was with at 11 AM and while it did start a little late, my massage still went the full hour. I'm looking forward to returning here and taking a full yoga class. I'm excited about this as they have a small space and limit the number. The idea of a more individual yoga experience is very appealing compared to the packed yoga studios I have visited in the past.

I find her office relaxing (and it smells nice) and her bedside manner is unmatched - warm, patient, skilled and sleuthy. If she ever reads this I want to say THANK YOU for giving me back so many days I'd otherwise waste in pain.

It quickly became clear, however, that I was in the presence of a rare practitioner, and there was something far more significant than a round of bursitis for us to approach together. I'd just gone through a divorce, and was dealing with the immediate grief, a lingering problem with depression, and the residue of older pain that I'd never processed. Ching's expertise in deep emotional work came as a great gift, helping me slowly navigate the layers. He didn't "cure" anything; that's not his role. What he did was help free things up from the depths where they were hiding, and then bolstered my strength and clarity so I could do the personal work I needed to do. A year or so down the road, I am more free than I have ever been. And I cannot overstate the value of Ching's caring and intuitive support in getting here. There's a poem I love from Rumi, the famed 13th century Sufi mystic: The way of love is not a subtle argument; the door there is devastation. Birds make great sky-circles of their freedom. How do they learn it? They fall, and falling, they're given wings. My unending gratitude to Ching for helping me find those wings.

I go for regular acupuncture for all my aches and pains, she uses different tools (like cupping & gua sha) to assist with the needles-and if you are scared of needles she will just use cupping and gua sha. She has made a huge difference in my quality of life. Honestly, I do not think I could keep doing my current job without her treatments. She is extremely knowledgeable, kind and has great energy. She also does gua sha and cupping of the face and it is SO relaxing! I cannot recommend this enough, she uses smaller gentle cups and incorporates massage-I am almost drooling when she is done I am so relaxed. She also does Microneedling for your face and it includes your neck, which is rare-places usually charge extra for that. I bought a package of 3 sessions & it cost the same as ONE session at another place (and that did not include the neck-that was an extra $250). I am extremely happy with the results after my 3 sessions. I am getting compliments on my skin. She also does cosmetic acupuncture for sagging and fine lines. I really want to try this. She is affordable and even offers packages and monthly subscriptions. She also has an option to schedule for express treatment and I have used that option to get in on short notice when I have an issue that needs quick attention. And she also does home visits! My husband also goes to her post 6 shoulder surgeries and she has helped him enormously. She is in a great location with decent street parking options. Booking with her is done easily through an app.

But she's helped me so successfully heal a number of concerns that it seems better to share if it could connect others to this kind of quality care. The office is lovely, smells so good, and finding parking on the street nearby has never been an issue. In the past cost felt like a barrier for treatment but I appreciate how collaborative she has been in helping find a good amount that works within my budget. I encourage anyone considering it to book time or reach out to her! The website is also very easy to use.

Vivaldi's 'Winter' plays in my head as I step inside and the Russian Nutcracker dolls stare a warm blankness of welcome back at me - and I begin to observe things more closely as I go - to the end of the rainbow. Norwegian cup sets and German decorative plates are set up in front of flowing paintings of cherry blossoms, oils of creepy kids and alternative art canvases and it darn near broke my heart to leave the French prints behind. Look up to see candelabras and left to see a antique ice bucket - all of this I adore. Manual hand mixers and beaters next to flour and sugar silos, enamel coffee pots and Pyrex tanned glass crockery. My arms were filling up so I bought two bags and went hither and tither and placed two egg cups inside and a Ralph Lauren roll-up mat with pillow. Between the hand blown blue and green glass galore the large pewter population, frosted glass of polar bears and Mickey Mouse - I had to have it all, but I live on the road and I shant - much to my sadness my rainbow was shortened on this day.
