I first came to Gracie with chronic and severe migraines, anxiety and depression. After just a…read morecouple of months I have received about 80% improvement and will continue to see Gracie until I am 100% improved! I am now in my mid fifties. In my early twenties I was in a very bad car accident leaving me with severe whiplash. Throughout the years I have seen countless registered massage therapists (RMT's), physiotherapists, and chiropractors to help correct the problem, but nothing has helped me. Instead my symptoms have gotten worse! That is until I found Gracie :) Finally someone who truly cares enough to actually help me! I am talking about real results that last, not just a temporary fix. I wished I could have seen Gracie much sooner and saved myself a ton of money. You will not find anyone who is invested in your health and wellness more than Gracie....she has been a true godsend and I am so very grateful for her expertise! Tui Na Deep Tissue Massage is the only effective massage that gets down to the root of the problem providing true lasting relief from your pain. Marie Victoria

The Reception staff were not particularly pleasant or welcoming and I received 8 email notifications of my appt with intake forms over 3 days! How annoying!! The massage was ok; no relaxing music or other touches to make it more pleasant. It felt very clinical to me and lacked in aesthetic appeal.

I really wasn't expecting to get to see anyone until I got back home to my regular chiropractor and I'm so glad I've been able to connect with Dr. Marina. She really knows her stuff.

I have been helped immensely with autoimmune issues, where today I can positively say I have more energy, a better outlook on life and tools to keep me moving forward on my health recovery with Celina's assistance. Celina is so easy to talk to, she nurtures you and makes you feel heard and important. She meets you where you are in your health journey and has many tools to guide and assist. Compassionate is the best word I can think of to describe Celina, she is truly compassionate and generous with her time, skills and knowledge. I am truly grateful she is in my life.

She is super with women and kids because she is an unbeliveably nurturing and compassionate person (I feel like I can tell her anything - and poor Celina, I think I sometimes do!)

When I first conceived of a trip to Orcas Island, I was looking for a restful getaway. With Erin…read morehelping to guide my trip, it turned out to be so much more. The massage/bodywork element to her work was exceptionally therapeutic by itself, but I'm really glad that I decided to have her curate a full, intentional retreat. Erin is incredibly intuitive and a gifted healer. I felt very open with her. After only a brief discussion, I found her suggestions for activities while I was there so personally and insightfully tailored to what I was going through. Her recommendations really helped me get lost in "deep time." Checking in with her at the end of my time on Orcas to discuss what I did and the significance I found in it was helpful for me to process it, and our visits framed my trip in a meaningful way. If you want an intuitive soul to help you traverse a meaningful transition in your life, I couldn't recommend Erin more highly.

I saw Dr Paul Winston, Physiatrist, at Shelbourne Physiotherapy for a consultation about my nervous…read moresystem. I was interviewed by a medical student who discussed my history with Dr Winston. Dr Winston proceeded to inject my trigeminal nerve with a freezing agent without discussing it with me other than a cursory few comments. He had the syringe ready before he even saw me based on his student's interpretation of my history. This was not informed consent, which I didn't have. In 1980, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled, in the landmark case of Reibl v. Hughes, that patients should be told what the doctor intends to do, as well as what the significant material risks are, and anything else that a reasonable person in that patient's condition would want to be told. I suffered extreme pain and permanent damage to my nerve and temporal mandibular joint. Beware of Dr Winston and Shelbourne Physiotherapy for their association with a doctor who doesn't believe in informed consent. This was the worst medical trauma I've ever experienced.

Jennifer, the physio, is relaxed, knowledgeable, friendly, and really knows her stuff. Even when it is hopping in there, you get the sense that she is taking the time needed to treat your injury properly. Actually, the whole clinic is a nice combination of relaxed and professional. IMS is not for everyone, since it involves sticking acupuncture needles into sore muscles. But it works like a hot damn.
