Bria takes the time to get to understand what is affecting you, she really listens and as she is working through your treatment, she frequently checks in and asks questions. She makes you feel relaxed, and that you are important throughout the treatment.

The treatment she gave me helped improve my situation so much and I am so grateful! The place is set up so you feel very comfortable and private (if you choose the private options). The temperature there is comfortable, it is clean, and relaxing. Highly recommended!

Bria is such a warm, caring, and attentive acupuncturist. You can tell that they genuinely want to help you feel better. I have three herniated discs in my back and have received many different treatments over the years to manage muscle and nerve pain. Bria was my first introduction to acupuncture, and they made me feel so relaxed and at ease. I couldn’t believe how effective their treatments were.

Since moving away, I’ve continued seeing an acupuncturist because I found acupuncture to be the most helpful treatment for pain management—more than massage, physio, chiropractic, or osteopathy. I’ve also found it incredibly beneficial for anxiety. It’s amazing how calming it is for my entire nervous system.

Whenever I visit family in Halifax, I make sure to fit in a session with Bria. I can’t recommend them enough.

Bria is wonderful! She's helped relieve so much stress and tension in my upper body in just one treatment. Her manual/hands-on skills are awesome! I really appreciate the check-ins she does throughout the treatment and the calming space and presence Bria/Rooted Rose provides 🙂 not to mention the lovely tunes that are playing! This morning was smooth jazz - it sets the tone. I would definitely recommend Bria to anyone looking for some MSK work!

Meeting Bria was a real blessing.
After a couple of treatments, my condition improved drastically!
She offers a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere, and is a knowledgeable professional. Always taking time to answer questions and making you feel comfortable at all times.

I highly recommend.
Thanks again Bria!

Bria always takes the time to ask proper questions before, during and after every treatment to make sure her overall approach for any treatment is precise, efficient and productive. She authentically cares about her clients and goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable at all times. Thank you Bria!

I WISH I had gone to see Bria at Rooted Rose sooner. In late 2022, without a clear cause, my lower back started to seize and I was in pain anytime I was getting up from seated, bending over to reach something on the coffee table, or getting up from bed in the morning. I saw an osteopath (who suspected a purely muscular issue, due to stress and 'survival mode'), a chiropractor (who confirmed through x-rays it was not bone or spine related), and two massage therapists (who never made me feel better for more than 6 hours and sent me home with more exercises than relief) before a friend/athlete suggested acupuncture.

I had never really done acupuncture before, but my friend explained that musculoskeletal acupuncture is usually very effective by targeting the knots and affected muscle groups. I explained my 16-month journey of back pain to Bria, and she said "You've come to the right place; you don't have to deal with this the rest of your life." I could have kissed her.

I'm now 4 appointments into my course of treatment, and I can assure you, I've truly begun to heal for the first time (and noticeably - if I'm stiff the time it takes to loosen up in the morning is less than 30 mins). I can put my palm on the floor in front of me without crying. I can sleep at night without waking up through the night in pain. And I am so euphoric and relaxed after my sessions that I almost forget what the last year and a half has been like.

Bria is excellent at respecting your personal space/boundaries and listens attentively. I was nervous at first, and now I am a lifer. I will tell anyone who will listen: if your body is in pain, go to Rooted Rose!

I have suffered from low back pain for years now which has made its way into my hips and thighs and even down into my knees, which made me extremely tight and stiff. After a few months seeing Bria my pain has diminished by about 90%! I am able to move so much better and feel like I have my body back! My pelvis was off on the right side by about 3cm when we started and now it’s back to normal, highly recommend if you have chronic pain and tightness, you won’t be disappointed!

Bria is an excellent practitioner. I have felt so much relief from pain since starting treatment with her, and the relief lasts! She treats both chronic and acute issues with super targeted points and explains why and how everything works. She checks in all throughout the treatment to make sure she has your continued consent, and that you're comfortable, but I never feel pestered. Honestly, I walk in to the calming space and immediately feel chill and relaxed. She is very kind, very smart, never judgy, and gives excellent at-home care advice too. Finally, I'm feeling better, it works! If you're on the fence, try it and see the difference it can make in your day to day pain and stress.
