I have been a client at Toronto Community Massage and Wellness since 2024.
Over the past year, I have been working with massage therapist Cynthia Castro Acosta and acupuncturist Saima Butt. Both of these practitioners are incredibly professional and knowledgeable in the work that they do. In addition to being technically skilled, they are communicative, caring, and emotionally intelligent. My experiences have been nothing but positive.
With Cynthia, I have received both focussed and full-body work to reduce tension, release fascia, and promote relaxation. Cynthia seems to have a way of locating tension that I didn’t even realise I carried! I leave our sessions feeling calm, relaxed, and at ease. She is so amazing at what she does and during the time I have gotten to know her, I can see that Cynthia is truly a gem of a human who genuinely cares about her clients’ wellbeing.
With Saima, I have received acupuncture, cupping, moxibuston, and other TCM services to help ease chronic pain, restore balance, alleviate fatigue, and support my overall wellness. Saima is a great communicator and their gentle approach puts me at ease, which is important when there are needles involved. I also appreciate how generous Saima is with knowledge- and resource-sharing to ensure that I continue to stay well both after and in-between our appointments. I truly feel cared for in a holistic sense.
Beyond the individual practitioners, the clinic itself is a welcoming, clean, and calming space. The chill vibe and thriving plants make it feel like a quiet little sanctuary in the middle of the city. The owner Tuan is friendly, approachable, and kind. I regularly see him around with his sweet dog and he always takes the time to stop and say hello, which I appreciate.
I am grateful for the services that TCMW provides to the community, and especially that they are TLGBQ+ affirming, offering specialized post-op care. It’s been amazing to see the clinic’s growth and development over the past couple years and I am honoured to be part of their clientele. I am so happy to have found a community-oriented clinic where I feel safe, respected, and well-cared for. Thank you!
