What other people think about Bloom Wellness

I came for acupuncture for bad headaches, constantly stressed with work.  From my very first session, I could tell that Angela  is not only skilled, but intuitive and caring. She created such a safe space where I could really let go. After just a month of treatments, I’ve noticed a change.. My stress levels are significantly lower, and I am able to process my emotions in a healthier way. The headaches have lessened, and my digestion has improved.  But what surprised me most was the emotional release. I didn’t realize how much I was holding in until I felt it start to move and lift. I am so grateful that Angela could help me.- Megan

Before starting acupuncture with Angela, I was really struggling with  emotions from a past trauma that were holding me back in life. My therapist recommended that i try acupuncture. Over the past two months, I've felt a real difference.  I’m so much more grounded, more confident, and overall in a much better place emotionally. Acupuncture has genuinely been a massive part of my recovery. Thank you Angela so much for your help  - Kevin

I would like to talk about the benefits I have gained to my health through treatment by Angela . For almost 8 years I had chronic neck and shoulder pain.  I had been treated by a Chiropractor who sometimes would have to treat me 3 times a week. This continued for almost 5 years. I was suffering headaches almost daily, immobility in my neck and at times could not even wear a hooded shirt or any type of bra with crossed straps, the pain would be excruciating. Soon after another Chiropractor treated my problem and stated it was muscular.  I started seeing Angela for treatments. Angela was able to tease out the repetitive movements I was unconsciously making in my work as Mental Health Counsellar. She was able to keep my muscles from becoming chronically tight and gave me a holistic way of looking at problems. Her treatments have been very professional and she has gone the extra mile in teaching me about my posture, relaxation techniques, stretches and also how the psyche is an important part of healing.  Spirituality, emotions, physicality, and perceptions are all part of the healing and thanks to Angela I am finally pain free, and able to continue my life in a very balanced way.  I have experienced all the different avenues that Angela provides for treatment and they have all been very helpful in my recovery..Thank you, Angela -  Frances

This was my first time getting a sound therapy and it was awesome. The feeling is out of this world and something you have to experience personally  to comprehend. The vibrations from the sound gave my body the most relaxed feeling. I feel completely transformed, relaxed, peaceful and energized. You feel it more the next day. Angela makes you feel at ease and comfortable. I highly recommend having a session with her. Juliet - DJ Artist

During my pregnancy, I had regularly amazing massage sessions with Angela that really helped. After giving birth, I started having back pain, and she began doing home visits for acupuncture. It’s made a big difference with my mental and physical wellbeing. I can move more easily now, the pain is gone, and I have more energy. I highly recommend Angela. - Kate

The real deal - After trying two other massage therapists of the "let's have a nice, relaxing massage" variety, i discovered Angela, and the difference could not be more stark. She's certified in Canada, has something like 23 years of experience and knows muscle structures, trigger points, and Western and Asian techiniques inside and out. I've been  three times to work on some neck, shoulder and lower back issues. Each time she quickly focuses with laser-like precision on the problem spots, and goes after them with a combination of deep pressure, muscle moverment, and heat that's profoundly effective. Knots that have been there for years are loosening up, chronic neck pain is gone, and range of motion is improving. She approaches massage as a treatment, not a luxury, so sessions are targeted with goals in mind, and if you don't need a follow-up anytime soon, she'll tell you.

If you're looking to pamper yourself, go to a spa, but if you want real therapeutic massage to relieve chronic pain or tightness, this is the place. - Carl

I’ve been seeing Angela for massage therapy for over two years. When I started having sleep problems and hip pain, I decided to try acupuncture. Since then, both have improved alot. Acupuncture has made a real difference, especially with massage. - Ingrid

 I tried Angela's Sound healing because i wanted to try something new to manage my stress .I was pleasantly surprised on how the sounds had a good effect on me.  This was not just an auditory experience, i had a full body sound vibration massage. In my experience, the sounds acted as a focal point that reduced my usual mind chatter leading to a release of deep rooted tension and emotional blocks stored in my body for quite some time. Angela is truly gifted in knowing what the body needs. I highly recommend this Sound Therapy. Carolina - Meditation Instructor

I wholeheartedly recommend Anjgela. She is incredibly skilled and attentive. I have been struggling with chronic back pain for years, trying everything from medications to a chiropractor to fysio therapy, but nothing provided lasting relief. That's when i decided to try acupuncture and i can honestly say it was a game changer. After just a few sessions, i noticed a siginficant reduction in pain and an improvement in overall tension in my back. This treatment not only helped withe the physical pain but also had a calming, restorative effect on my overall wellbeing. I also tried Angela's massages and its amazing how much of a difference they made for my back. I felt lighter and more at ease with major relief of my chronic back pain and far less tension in my muscles. - Ruby

I had some idea about music therapy but this sound healing was new to me, nevertheless interesting. I discussed with Angela my experiences with research on mantra chanting in a yoga hospital set up in India which i donated some time there. We talked about how an electroencephalogram reveals some of the secrets of energy work on how it affects healing. I was feeling weak and drained the day of my first sound healing and afterwards i felt like i was more focused and clear. I could tell Angela had the aptitude for sound healing. My second sound healing was very interesting again like the first time. I knew it was Angela that was doing the vocal toning but i felt as if some spirit is talking to me , something which is protective and caring. I had lost the sense of my body, like i  had no weight and like i was flying. It was a feeling which i get sometimes only during meditations. A thoughtless, balanced and changed state of mind. I should also mention that my back pain was gone too! Thank you Angela! Rajesh - Naturopathic Doctor

The sound therapy with Angela supported my experiencing a deeper state of relaxation and overall stress reduction. With regular treatments my sleeping patterns improved and i found more cognitive clarity and enhanced ability to listen to my body. Whitney - Psychologist

I first met Angela through her therapeutic massages for muscle tension, and a few months later, she suggested acupuncture for the same issue. Since November, I haven't needed any more physical massages. The acupuncture sessions with her have had the exact same effect, releasing the tension knots in my back. With the added benefit that, after acupuncture, i don't get that lingering soreness you usually feel after a massage. Plus, the sessions are incredibly relaxing, so i walk out feeling completely de-stressed. Anna

As a big fan of Angela's therapeutic massages, which are really beneficial for my lower back and shoulder issues, I experienced a wonderful Sound Therapy session.. It is hard to explain in words but you feel the crystal singing bowls resonate deep in your whole body. They make you go into kind of a meditative trance that is very relaxing and rebalancing. . I highly recommend Angela and everyone should try this special Sound Healing Massage. Antoinette - Marketing Company Owner

(translated from Dutch to English) After a professional and very pleasant conversation on Angela's advice, I tried Japanese Acupuncture. Really wasn't crazy about needles. There was first an intake interview to determine which treatment would be best for me. to address stress in my body and imbalance in my nervous system. She did this in a pleasant, clear and interesting manner. During the treatments, she reassured me and i was not really concerned with what the result would be. I have now had 3 treatments and found this subtle and gentle way of acupuncture very pleasant. I am more relaxed, sleep better and have more energy. Wilma
