The masseuse was very friendly and she worked on me for a full hour. After the massage I didn't feel my neck pain anymore. My neck pain did come back later in the evening.

I didn't write this review 9 months ago (choosing instead to write to the management to share my…read moreconcerns privately), but 9 months later with no response at all from the team at Qi, I'm still upset by my experience and I don't want another plus sized woman to repeat it. So here goes. I am a plus sized woman. Just a fact. Happily, it's pretty rare that I feel that my size impacts the way I'm treated. In fact, the only time in recent memory that I've felt my size impacted how I was treated by someone was with the massage I received at Qi. Now, this is not a statement against everyone that works there. In fact, I had a great massage many years ago (I even asked the team if they could help me track her down, to no response), but I couldn't tell you who it was with. This time however, I selected to have an appointment with Jorg. He specializes in joint, posture & movement issues, and with chronic problems I have stemming from a past broken leg and multiple related surgeries, he seemed like the perfect match. Only, that hope was one way, as I got the distinct impression from the moment he walked in the room that I wasn't his "ideal" client. What followed was a 50 minute massage (in a 60 minute timeslot), zero check-ins about pressure or anything at all, and about the only words he said to me felt like a complete slap in the face. At the end of our time, he told me bluntly that he specializes in *sports* massage, and that the next time I come in? I should book with someone else. Message received loud and clear, Jorg. I'm truly sorry that in your world, only the fit and slender qualify for your help.

Really horrible experience. Their website offers services that none of their practitioners knew and…read morewhen I went to my appointment they laughed at me and said they didn't offer that service. Then they left me and discussed for around 30 mins. I had to cancel my appointment and any future appointments with this clinic. This demonstrates extreme negligence on their part and lack of professionalism. It was a really bad experience. I would not recommend anyone to go to a clinic where they offer services they don't know how to do or even know it's on the list.

I see Cary Rendek for acupuncture. She's wonderful. We hit it off right away. She is so easy to talk to and is passionate about helping her patients. I originally came in due to back pain and the acupuncture has really helped. We're also doing a food cleanse, which is something I had been wanting to try and am excited to have someone guide me through it. I see Kendra Shand for massage. I saw her for several years but then lost touch when she moved clinics. I was thrilled to discover her again. She's awesome. Also very easy to talk to. She practices a mixture of "regular" massage and Reiki. As an aside, I am totally out of it after my acupuncture appt and only schedule them on my day off. So consider yourself warned (although not everyone reacts the same way). I am so happy with both Cary and Kendra and would recommend them to anyone!

Her technique is known as bone setting - learned in China - and it is nothing short of a miracle.

I had an accident many years ago and it's amazing how much she is able to help me now, even after 30 years have passed. My son was told by several doctors surgery would be needed for a rugby injury - she fixed him up using her fingers.

Treatments are performed by students under the supervision of doctors of traditional chinese medicine. Consultation is done on a one-on-one basis in private treatment rooms and can include acupuncture, tui-na - which is Chinese massage and cupping - suction cups placed on you back and chinese herbs if you require them. The clinic is open Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 1p.m. - and from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday to Thursday. Walk-ins are welcomed especially in the summer as the clinic tends to be quieter. The treatments will vary from student to student - but I've had great experiences when it came to relieving lower back pain from too much wake boarding and waterskiing to relieving sore neck and shoulders from being hunched over at a desk studying. One treatment and I was pain free - I especially liked it when they applied electrical stimulation to the needles on my lower back as this seemed to go right into the muscles and relieve the spasm. A very positive experience and highly recommend the clinic. The students are knowledgable and very keen to help heel.

I never thought that I would be such a believer of body bronzing until Tessa of Mojo Mobile Spa…read moreprovided me with the best service. I developed a rare skin condition (don't worry, I'm not contagious) that I was really conscious and insecure about people seeing. I became even more stressed about it knowing that I was going to be on stage for the world to see. But I was so fortunate to have Tessa's expertise and nurturing touch to help settle my nerves. She provided me with a body exfoliation followed by a body bronze (spray tan). It was MAGIC! My skin felt and looked amazing. My body was smooth and had a wonderful healthy glow - it honestly looked very natural (not "the orange" that people typically associate with spray tans). With proper care, it lasted me for weeks and I received so many wonderful compliments on my tan. I'm happy to know of a healthier alternative to tanning salons. Most important was that it made me feel more confident in my skin and my condition was definitely less noticeable. To have Tessa and her team available was a huge relief and brought me great comfort. Thank you again Tessa, Jennifer, and Amber of Mojo Mobile Spa! My facial, body massage, exfoliation and bronzing was allowed me to have competed confidently in Miss Universe Canada 2014.

The services are of the highest standard and quality, with proper healthcare standards adhered to throughout the visit. The entire team is friendly, outgoing, funny and a true pleasure to welcome into my home. I, along with others received a variety of services including massage, facials, manis and pedis. Everyone including myself couldn't stop talking about them for the rest of the night, and most of us still bring it up to this day. Definitely plan of having Mojo's over again! My massage and pedicure were amazing, those ladies have magic fingers, I felt completely relaxed and truly pampered, all from the comfort of my own home where my friends and I could drink some bevies and enjoy appetizers, then settle in for the rest of our girls day/night. Highly recommend for a bridal party or staff appreciation, or even just a fun girls night like ours. Also great for elderly people like my grandma who has trouble leaving the house but always likes to be pampered and feel her best! Two thumbs up to Tessa and her amazing team.
