Healing Alternatives is a health food store in S.E. Calgary. It carries all the standard products…read morethat your local Health Foods Store would carry, but what impressed me most was the service. The gentleman at the store went out of his way to greet us and answer all the questions we had. I also found the pricing to be a bit more reasonable than at other local health stores. A good experience and I'm definitely glad I discovered it!

What a horrible experience went down there for green beans which were on sale they didn't have any…read moreso they sold me the most expensive sugar peas I've ever seen at almost $18 a kilo when I talked to the manager, she was very short and not at all receptive and rather rude fortunately the cashier was clearly not trained by the manager helped me pick through the bags of rotting snap peas looking for the best ones. THEN THEY JUST PUT THE ROTTING ONES BACK IN THE DISPLAY. I remember when this was a great place - what happened?

I was a loyal shopper here for 15+ years. However, the Crowfoot branch treated my mom like total…read morecrap, accusing her of stealing without any evidence, being too familiar and personal and getting right up in her face during Covid. The last straw was when she was in a hurry for an important Dr appointment and searching for a supplement. While I checked out our shopping, she frantically searched for said item, saw a staff and asked them for help. They ignored her and ran off, reappeared then helped someone else. While at the checkout, the staff there asked the supervisor if she should help but the supervisor shockingly told her not to help! My mom returned, frustrated at the terrible service and was understandably upset. The supervisor shut her down then banned her the next day! We avoided this location for five years, one day I peeked in and noticed things were rearranged, believing this meant change of management, I suggested she try shopping there again. Lo and behold she was still banned. But I was told I can still come in. Which I did reluctantly, I felt nervous and kept to myself. One day I was in a hurry to get something, the supervisor said 'We close in 10 min!' I kept walking, she said 'Did you hear me?' I said, not at all rudely, 'Yep.' and continued to hastily search for what I needed. Shortly after this, next time I came in I was told I am now banned, and when we went to the downtown branch they banned us there too without explanation! I called customer service and emailed them. They never even bothered to get back to me. I'm shocked and disgusted, I've never felt so hurt or offended before. I work in customer service and we would never dream of abusing and discriminating against loyal customers like this with no good reason and after said customers did nothing but act civilly. I have told all my friends and colleagues and they are shocked and disgusted and will not shop there anymore. I encourage everyone to boycott this disgusting hateful place.

What a gem of a shop! They seem to have all the speciality products that I thought I could only…read morefind on-line! Very similar to the Light Cellar but smaller scale. Love supporting local independent stores like this!
