Ritual Urban Retreat is a small gym with nice amenities on Denman street…read more I go there for Foundation class (high intensity core/ pilates). The classroom I have been too is heated so it can be challenging for some people. The instructors are very passionate and workout changes every class. The changing rooms are small but clean. Lockers with keys are available. There is a sauna as well as cold plunge. A nice gym to check-out if you are on Classpass.

Visited on a rainy weekday morning for the sauna and cold plunge 90 minute treatment. Best decision…read moreever, the rainy made it more interesting. Facilities were beautiful and well kept. Staff was seen cleaning often. Sean at the front desk was very hospitable, showed me around as it was my first time in the space and what to do. Loved the sauna, it's small but mighty, they come in often to splash water onto the rocks with essential oils. You do have to walk down 10 steps and then up a couple steps of stairs to get to the outdoor sauna. I requested for it to be 0 degrees and they gladly put in a couple buckets of ice for me. I would love to return with friends!

A friend of mine recommended me to see Dr.Farzamian, as she had helped her with her issues. Before, I didn't believe much in counselling but seeing Dr. Farzamian has made a huge difference to my life. She is beyond caring and kind!!! I'm so glad that I gave her chance because I'm no longer the same person I used to be (thank god!!). I highly recommend her to anyone!

Kira is amazing. Very easy going. I always get a good vibe from her when I have my life coaching…read moresession with her. I don't get that feeling with a lot of counselors, therefore, this is a huge thing for me to say. I'm gad that she moved her practice within the city. Very awesome at listening without judgement and very encouraging. She indulges me in my offbeat sense of humor which is appreciated. I feel good after her sessions with new goals and ideas that I worked out myself through openly talking and with her asking appropriate questions to get me thinking a little bit more outside the box so that I can creatively come to my own conclusions. I can't wait to see her again in March.

Tucked away just off south Granville is an oasis. Because…read moreit's not on street level, if you didn't know what you were looking for it would be hard to find but once inside I felt lucky to have found this hidden gem. It has the feeling of relaxation like a spa but the practitioners are very serious about your wellbeing. I had an appointment with Cary, whom I believe is the owner and she spent much more time going through point by point all of my medical intake form than I have ever experienced at an acupuncture studio. We talked in depth about all of my ailments and she gave some sound advice. The acupuncture session was pleasant and relaxing yet I felt energized after the treatment. Highly recommended if you want to get to the root cause of your illness.

The location is very easy to access just off W. Broadway and Granville…read more Part of my 2016 resolution was to take care of my health a little but more both physically and mentally. Upon invitation I checked out a sampling of their services. The place is small, clean, soft colors with a nice ambiance. There are a lot of self improvement books and complimentary water and tea. I met with Kira for a short life couching session. I've never had life couching, just heard about it. Kira was warm, humorous and made me feel comfortable opening up. In that short time she got the hamster wheels turning about the things that were important to me etc. I did an acupuncture session with Cary. I've never had an acupuncture session before, therefore, didn't know what to expect. The body can react individually. It was an intriguing experience as the body works in mysterious ways. She was kind, gentle and found humor in some of my embarrassing situations that day. She uses awesome aromatherapy oils and soft music. The acupuncture table is heated which was awesome on a cold day. Made me very relaxed. She mainly addressed my concerns about my back due to a car accident years ago. I had a very relaxing 30 minute message with Kent Smith. I actually found this to be the most informative message session that I've ever had. He talked me through what was going on in my body and the causes for certain areas being more difficult than others. Who completely understood my body as an office worker 8 hours a day at a desk and then as a hobby writer on my free time. He was suggestive and informative on solutions. He used an aromatherapy message with oil blends that made my heart feel like summer inside. The smell was so wonderful. I fell asleep on the table. It was the first time in weeks in which I really felt relaxed on my lunch break. I shut off my phone completely during my break and just allowed myself to escape with the touch and smell of the oils. I had a brief MI scan with Susan. Everything that Susan said about me was dead on. I didn't tell her anything. I just laid on the table and allowed her to do her magic. I just couldn't believe how accurate she was, I was blown away. I found some information about my body that was extremely helpful and encouraged me to take immediate actions on some issues that I've been putting on the back burner. It gave me that jump to really take proactive measures on these things. I got an extremely warm vibe from her. Overall the whole team was amazing, warm, friendly people.

We learned communication skills that have proven effective over the last 10 years. We did a couple of follow-up sessions a couple of years after first seeing her and haven't needed her help again. She's good if you are ready to go deep quickly. If you are trying to figure out life questions (like, should we move? Take that job?) she's not so great but if you are having "you just won't listen... I can't seem to get through to you... Why aren't we close anymore? Why aren't we having sex anymore? You drive me nuts ... I don't think you love me anymore..." she'll help you get back to intimacy.
