Reviews of A Balanced Body Massage Therapy, Acupuncture & Therapeutic Yoga (Massage Therapist)

Sam Hampton

A balanced body is a fabulous health and wellness center! Nicole is an amazing RMT. She is extremely skilled and has helped me deal with chronic pain. I highly recommend her tensegrity massage, you will not be disappointed. I have been to 3 different practitioners and they are all great.

I've been going to ABB for a few years now. Jessica has always created an inviting, warm, welcoming soothing atmosphere. Their new space on Cedar Hill is great and so central. While in a 'traditional-type office building', they have managed to carry over their theme from their old space, and make the space calm, peaceful, aesthetic and grounding. The other practitioners that I have seen (acu, massage, therapeutic yoga) have always been exceptional, kind, inclusive and caring. I mostly see Nicole Sing, who's technique of Tensegrity really works well for my body, more than the more obvious deeper stuff (which I love, too). Nicole is light-hearted, kind, gentle, lovely, and very skilled.

The staff are top notch and can help resolve lower back problems post hip replacement problems! Brilliant!

Jessica's online classes are the best. I love them all, therapeutic classes for when I'm stiff and the level three pilates for when I need to feel strong. I love all the exercises I learn that integrate stretching with massage balls. So thankful for the online options, wish there were clones of Jess so she could offer more classes!

I have been a Registered Massage Therapy client of Jessica's for 6 years now and I have found her to be an exceptional RMT. The practitioners at A Balanced Body Studio cover an array of wonderful health options that help with my rehab of several injuries I've suffered to my left ribs. I have also taken advantage of the various classes and workshops offered through A Balanced Body's Studio and I found them beneficial to my mind, body and spirit. The practitioners at A Balanced Body Studio are very professional, highly educated, and create safe environment that promotes your health and well-being inside and out.

Where do I even start? I stumbled across ABB a few years ago after hopping from one RMT to the next just hoping to find someone really skilled who could genuinely make a difference with my back issues. I ended up on Jessica’s table and to this day I am still not convinced she doesn’t practice sorcery. I regularly hobble in there like Quasimodo and then leave feeling like I could probably win a bronze medal in gymnastics. On top of RMT, I have also gone for Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) which has been a revelation, and even taken some of their excellent online yoga classes. The space is extremely comfortable and always has nice ambience, good music and a great selection of products to help your ailing body (and that delicious Earths Herbal tea!). I can’t recommend A Balanced Body enough and am forever grateful for everything Jessica and her team have done to improve my life over the past few years.

In the line of work that I am in, I use my body all day long as a tool. I am so grateful to have one of the best RMT's in town, Jessica work on me. She is thorough and I always leave feeling much better.

Jessica and Nicole are amazing somatic practitioners and a permanent part of my health regime. They are knowledgeable, good listeners, and consummate professionals that are as enthusiastic about my health as I am. I have gained flexibility in areas where I had chronic pain or injuries. Through Jessica’s classes I have an at home care plan. Jessica brilliantly blends a number of movement modalities in her class, gives clear instruction, and allows space for each student to experience their own body and movement patterns.

I can honestly say Lacy B is a truly wonderful acupuncture practitioner. She made me feel comfortable, safe and relaxed the entire time. She had a warm way of explaining each step of the process. I had an acupuncture facial and my facial muscles have never felt this relaxed. I usually experience jaw tension and misalignment from a previous injury. Not to mention the gua sha massage has evened out my skin tone and softened my forehead frown line. YAY Lacy you are wonderful! I will be coming back! A

I’m so fortunate to have found Jessica and her talented team of healers at A Balanced Body. Everyone has something different to offer and I use them all. I have found they compliment and communicate well with each other. I have ongoing issues from multiple car accidents and need regular massage treatment to manage pain. I started my journey with them many years ago with a very broken body and spirit. I found Nicole first, her treatments where gentle but the out come was very powerful. As I progressed I started to work with Jessica doing therapeutic yoga once Nicole felt I was ready, and from there therapeutic exercise session with Jessica as well. They have made such a difference in my daily life it is unbelievable. The transformation over the years has been amazing to me and my family. I’m stronger and healthier, which is why I can truly say they have changed my life! I don’t hesitate to recommend you try anyone of the therapist, they are all talented, caring, and passionate.I really do see them all, it is great to have that luxury. Jess I absolutely love the new office space very clean, calming, w/AC awesome:), and comfortable.You really are a great team, doing great things. Soooooo grateful for you all!!!

Jessica and her extensive team are excellence personified . Each one has unique abilities and skills, experience and insights. I am a senior and came to Jessica’s practice post cancer/radiation ,very weak and stressed. Initially I went to Jessica and Nicole for individual treatments and gradually merged into Jessica’s supportive Yoga and Pilates. Jessica’s sense of humour and her supportive ability to realize each person’s potential/limitations are irreplaceable. As a former health care practitioner, I am hugely impressed by the extensive knowledge and experiential base that is available at this practice. Thank you so much to each one of you!!

I absolutely love the therapeutic exercise classes. They are well thought out and inclusive. Jessica is very intuitive teacher and is great at describing how and where stretches should be felt, where you may be finding a challenge and explaining which muscles are involved in a very easy to understand and empowering way. I normally find zoom classes tiring, but these are filmed and delivered really well.

I started to go to ABB about a year ago after a friend of mine had told me what a difference their team had made in her life. I have had chronic pain in a couple areas of my body for a couple of years - I’ve gone to so many different practitioners in an attempt to live a better quality of life, however nothing I ever tried turned out to be a long term solution, nor did any of these practitioners take the time to do a deep dive into what the root issue was, thus I kept spending money with no real recovery, which was so frustrating. Jess’ expertise and genuine passion for helping her clients achieve “a balanced body” (truly, you’ll start to understand the name of this practice very quickly) has made such a positive impact on my life. Thank you for giving me the care and tools I didn’t know I needed to live a better life! Forever grateful.

I have had two therapeutic massages at this lovely studio--I am looking for the perfect match for my needs--and highly recommend it. I have found what l am looking for with RMT Barb Lambert! Barb did a very thorough clinical intake, listened carefully, and had lots of information to share. The massage targeted the expected areas and some unexpected ones as well--like my arms. After my session, l felt energized and was aware of increased mobility in my neck and shoulders. I went to the gym and could do some things that l had not been able to do with ease two days earlier! A Balanced Body is a healing place. I have also taken some therapeutic yoga classes with Jessica Knox and loved them. She is very skilled instructor and creates a warm and inclusive environment. Five stars!

Madelaine Tiller

I have such gratitude for the A Balanced Body Team. Over the past number of years I have had inspiring and beneficial yoga classes with Jessica Joy Knox. She is equally an awesome teacher and incredible massage therapist. In addition, I have discovered the amazing results from acupuncture & acupressure massage with Shylo Westergaard and the therapeutic health benefits from massages with Nicole and Barb. I love arriving in the environment of peace and tranquility and leaving feeling rejuvenated, invigorated or deeply relaxed and connected to my body once again. Dr. Madelaine Tiller, R. Psychologist

A Balanced Body has the best, most personable, very qualified staff in the city. I have been a client for many years and would never consider going anywhere else. Thanks to all the staff that I have accessed and to the workshops I have attended.

Lora-Beth Trail

Barb is a wonderful therapist! She always checks in with me to find out what I am needing from my session. She is the best! I would strongly recommend her as a person who listens and then follows through with a person's requests. LBT :)

All of the girls at A Balanced Body are one of a kind! Working with Jessica is a game changer. She is kind, thoughtful, caring and is amazing at what she does, helping bodies heal. On top of RMT services, I love the therapeutic exercise classes and various workshops that are offered. I would recommend a balanced body to anyone! All of the girls are so thoughtful, caring and knowledgeable. I am so grateful to have met and worked with Jessica, Steph and Nicole.

Marion Munro

In Jessica’s Therapeutic Yoga classes, she teaches how to give yourself a massage treatment, that really works. She asks for “requests” from the online practitioners as to where they need relief. Then using her experience, as a Registered Massage Therapist and her various modality certifications, she performs a set of exercises using props (offering commonly available substitutes). Her instructions are interspersed with awareness reminders and helpful exercise options. For example, I find the option of tiny movements most effective both for strengthening my core and increasing my flexibility. She ends each class with a blessing to carry forward for a balanced daily life. We follow along, catching her joyful and fun-loving attitude. What amazes me is how easily she moves from one exercise to the next. Before I know it, the class is done, my pelvis is balanced and my heart is open! I enthusiastically look forward to these classes.

Jenn Nicholson

Love a Balanced Body. I've been seeing Nicole for a few months now and couldn't be happier. I leave every treatment feeling amazing!

Dani Frohloff

I can’t say enough good things about “A Balanced Body.” I was hesitant to try yoga again after a not-so-great experience years ago, but I am so happy Jessica was recommended to me. The classes are easy to follow, the space and equipment is clean, the price is fair, and Jessica’s attitude and knowledge is what makes it perfect. No matter what state I show up in, I leave the class feeling 100% better physically and emotionally.

Kate Jobling

Balanced Body is the best for FST and yoga in Victoria. Really outstanding practitioners who do their very best to heal you. I absolutely recommend Jessica and anyone else on her team.
