Her approach to Health is as unique as her unconventional persona.

If you are looking for an alternative to the traditional Western medical approach, I suggest you schedule a consultation with Dr. Bartlett. I fondly refer to her as 'The Needle Wizard'!

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!!!!

The space is calming, the treatments are thoughtful and precise, and the results have been positive, but most importantly leave me feeling better than when I walked in. Alexa takes the time to listen, asks me what do I want worked on, and truly tailors each session to what I need. I also really appreciate her holistic approach--there's a genuine sense of support around energy healing and overall well-being that makes each visit feel deeply restorative.

After seeing many practitioners and struggling with traditional dermatology, Alexa got me on an herbal and acupuncture regimen and gave targeted diet changes that help calm my body down so it could begin to recover. I continue to receive monthly acupuncture because I can see that it keeps my body regulated. She always knows where to target on any given day. Alexa is a perfect blend of ancient knowledge, modern practicality, and mysticism.

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.

He begins with the traditional shiatsu diagnosis using acupressure, which tells him where my body is out of balance. Even though I've had shiatsu many times, this still seems kind of amazing: "how did he know what hurt without my telling him?" For those who have only had traditional massage, Shiatsu is different: I wear yoga clothes or light garments and the kneading, stretching, tapping, and soothing are done without oil. Ramon has a wonderful energy, that is friendly, relaxed, and peaceful. Even if I enter the studio wound-up or tense, once there, I immediately start to feel calmer and the brain static drops away. Whether or not you've tried Shiatsu before, I highly recommend that you make an appointment with Ramon.

As soon as she started working on me, I recognized that Thai Massage is more than a job to her, it is a craft. It is something that she actively studies, and as I later learned, has been actively studying for many years. Many therapists go to massage school for a year, then go to work, taking an occasional, often random class to learn something new. Jessica, on the other hand, consistently fine-tunes her work, works with a master to improve her abilities in Thai massage and Thai medicine. It's the difference between going to playing basketball in college for a year and then doing 7 years of pick-up games with your coworkers, vs. getting consistent coaching with a professional basketball player for 7 years straight. You get Really Good. This is a longwinded way of saying that I really respect Jessica's work, as well as her approach. Our session was both relaxing and effective. She did point-specific, deep tissue massage work in a way that was engaging, comfortable, fascinating, and peaceful. All I could think throughout the session was "How is she doing this?" and "Can I get this three times a week??" Also, she works in a really cool house that's been converted into a healing arts center. That was pretty awesome. Cheers!

I love to describe my experience with Jessica as a cross between a massage and a stretching work out - but one where I don't have to do anything! I really feel that receiving thai massage from Jessica is such a huge gift to my body, and really has helped me tune in and connect to my body, and move forward with some of my body issues. I've discovered where some of my little trouble areas are (and not so little!), and have learned a lot about how to relax more successfully. And, to top it all off, the fact that Jessica is also a yoga teacher that is able to give me customized yoga positions after knowing what exactly my body needs, is the icing on the cake. On top of all that, you can tell that Jessica truly cares about your body, and treats it in a loving, nurturing, affirming way. And is completely focused on helping you get what you need to progress into full harmony with your body & self.

I also started to have some lower back pain due to me compensating for the pain in my neck and shoulders, which made my posture change.This was one of my last options. I've never had acupuncture but was told to give it a try. I made the appointment with Victoria and as soon as I walked through the door I felt comfortable. Victoria listened to my concerns, asked me about everything I had gone through with genuine concern. I never felt rushed and although I have only been to a couple sessions, I have noticed that along with my Botox injections and the acupuncture, this is the first time in almost 5 years that I am noticing a slight difference. Victoria told me that it would take twice a week for a while to really feel the difference as did Neurology with my Botox. After ONE session, my back was better! I never would have believed it could help in just one session. I am so thankful that I chose to make the appointment with Whole Health and Victoria. She is outstanding and professional! She makes me feel so comfortable! She actually listens to my concerns instead of just telling me what I need. I highly recommend Whole Health and Victoria! Don't wait like I did. Make the appointment.....I promise you won't regret it!!
