Remedy Wellness Centre

At Remedy we approach patient care from a biopsychosocial perspective. That’s why we offer counselling alongside our manual therapies. We love Gabor Mate’s work and encourage our followers to check out this free online event. We’re here if you need us too.

We're hiring at Remedy! Seeking an RMT and a Physiotherapist to join our team!

Ever wonder what your acupuncturist is checking for when they look at your tongue? 👅

It's called tongue diagnosis — one of the oldest diagnostic tools in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Your practitioner is assessing the color, coating, shape, and moisture of your tongue, which can offer clues about imbalances happening elsewhere in the body — often before you'd notice symptoms yourself.

Paired with pulse reading, it's one of the ways our acupuncturists build a treatment plan that's actually specific to you, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.

We wrote a full breakdown on our blog, including what to expect at your next visit — https://remedywellness.ca/acupuncture-posts/tongue-diagnosis-in-chinese-medicine/

This is cute. October is Menopause Awareness Month! Something our acupuncturists can help you get through with regular hormone balancing treatments. Book a free phone consultation with Caroline O’Hara or Leo Cottle to learn more about “Cougar Puberty”

Meet Caroline O'Hara, Registered Acupuncturist 🌿

Caroline has been practicing acupuncture for over a decade, mostly at Remedy Wellness Centre, but her path here started in mental health. She holds a psychology degree from Mount Allison University and a social services diploma from Seneca College, and worked in the mental health field before training in acupuncture at Pacific Rim College.

That background shapes everything about how she practices. Caroline focuses on the relationship between physical pain and mental/emotional well-being — treating chronic and acute pain, stress and anxiety, hormonal imbalances, insomnia, digestive issues, fertility concerns, and allergies, all while keeping the mind-body connection front and centre. She practices both Traditional Chinese and Five Elements acupuncture, with a gentle needling technique and a strong focus on patient education — making sure you understand your treatment and what to expect every step of the way.

Caroline has also been recognized multiple times in Victoria Votes' "Best Acupuncturist" category.

Caroline is currently accepting new patients.

Small market, big heart 🧡

You'll usually find a few familiar faces from Remedy wandering Moss Street on a Saturday — not working, just supporting the local makers, growers, and small businesses that make this city feel like home. Local business supporting local business is kind of our whole vibe.

Shop small, shop local, shop Moss Street.

Team field trip: Moss Street Market edition 🧺💐

There's nothing like a Saturday morning wander through Moss Street — local veggies, flowers, baked goods, and some of the best small businesses in Victoria, all in one place. Our team loves showing up for our neighbours the same way you show up for us.

Shopping local isn't just a nice idea around here — it's how this community stays strong. Every stall, every maker, every small business supporting another small business adds up.

Meet Leo Cottle, Registered Acupuncturist 🌿

Leo brings a holistic, trauma-informed approach to care — shaped by a background in sociology, applied ethics, and mental health & addictions support before he became an acupuncturist. He blends acupuncture with Tui Na, cupping, and gentle needling to support both body and mind.

Leo has a special focus on prenatal and postnatal care — helping patients manage pregnancy symptoms like back pain, nausea, and headaches, supporting labour preparation, and easing the transition into postpartum recovery. He also works with clients on pain management, stress, anxiety, and insomnia, and is passionate about creating a safe, welcoming space for people at every stage of life, including 2SLGBTQ+ clients.

Leo is currently accepting new patients.
