Reviews of The Solace Centre (Spa)

Nicoline Mann

I can always count on Makenzie to do an incredible job! She knows exactly what areas need work, even when I don't! I look forward to my appointments with her and always feel better afterwards.

Amanda Perrin

Absolutely the best place to go for massage!! The staff are incredible and extremely knowledgeable in the field. The atmosphere is so calming and relaxing to make for the best experience! Highly recommend!!

Walter Ernst

Very professional and good quality service. Would definitely go again!

Sean Smith

Great space, great people and best massage I've ever had. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Jacqui Rouse

I was called in from the waitlist for a 60-minute massage. Terri was friendly, welcoming, and professional. She really took the time to understand my physical issues, and did amazing work. The gifting of the bath salts at the end was a lovely touch! The space itself is absolutely gorgeous.

Kira Hak

Wonderful experience. Beautiful space. Great massage. Thank you, Brittany.

Edit: Lynne got in touch with me to take ownership of the issue detailed below, and worked very hard to ensure I was able to be booked into a replacement appointment in an extremely reasonable timeframe. I'm extremely pleased with the outcome, and now that I know changing appointment times without client confirmation isn't the norm, I'm more than happy to give another chance. :) I booked an appointment with a new RMT, Rick, about 2 months in advance - no problem, massage is in demand, I just picked a time that would work for me. 2 days before my appointment, I received notification that they'd unilaterally decided to change my appointment, and here was my new time....which no longer worked for me. I had to cancel the appointment I had waited 2 months for, and when I looked at rebooking, it would have been another months wait. In my opinion, appointment changes should be made with a phonecall to ensure that your client has a say in what works for them, and rebooking can be made within a reasonable timeframe.

First, I appreciate the calming energy in Solace's wonderful environment. Second, my treatment with Nebilah was outstanding. Her hands work gentle, intuitive and with a nice rhythm and appropriate pressure. Her inner guidance that she follows provides me with a deep experience on all levels, physical, mental, emotional and soul... I am grateful, thank you for caring and healing! Saskia de Q.

Lynne has the ability & focus to tune into my needs, & provide in-depth releases of my tension patterns. Her compassion & TLC are something I can always count on!

Hannah Manfredi

Tracy Crawford is the most incredible, talented, and kind woman. She has made my body feel better than it has in ages. She is so attentive to my needs- somedays I'd come in right before work and she would ensure to cover my hair with a towel. She learned quickly to adjust the shoulder pillows just right, and heat the warmer ahead of time. Tracy is so intuative- she reads your mind and can sense where your body needs help (without you telling her!) I cannot rave enough about how exceptional my experience was. To boot, she has the most bubbly warm personality. Made me feel so welcome and cared for. Ok, I'll shut up now. Thanks Tracy!!!! <3

I've been going to the Solace Center for over a year and it's excellent. Treatments are on time and last accordingly. The staff all seem very nice and the business is clean. All covid policies are present while still allowing a relaxing experience. I hope to continue treatments her for years to come.

Great environment, great space, great people! Best massage in Nanaimo, maybe even best on the Island! Overall an awesome experience every time!

Martin Stenning

Great session with Sheila! I literally felt knots of tension release while she was working on me and left feeling relaxed and pain free. Highly recommend.

Josh Montgomery

Excellent massage, great customer service, overall a very pleasant experience. I will definitely visit the solace centre again.

Erin Crawford, CPT

Always a great experience at solace! I have used many different services from yoga, reflexology, acupuncture to massage. Never a bad experience ❤️❤️❤️????????????????????

Sarah Sabourin

I love it here, everyone I have had has been absolutely amazing. I always feel great days after the massage happened and during the appointment I am more relaxed than in pain from kneading out knots.

Meg Watkins

Nebilah’s massages are perhaps a little more subtle or not typical for what you might expect from an RMT, but they have been extremely helpful in calming my nervous system and releasing tension. Solace has an incredible atmosphere – very peaceful, tranquil, and relaxing. A great place to visit for yoga, acupuncture, or massage!

Scott Littlejohn

The space is warm and welcoming, with a dead easy online booking system. Best of all, obviously, the practioners are excellent. Recommended.

I have had the extreme pleasure of being treated but Terri over the last 2 years. She is a soft and sweet soul and that shows in the way that she treats. She has a the gift of healing hands and has helped me work through many things in this time. She holds such a beautiful space to heal and she makes you feel so welcome and heard. Solace wellness is a wonderful clinic to go to, such a nice space and everyone there is so wonderful, just like Terri!

I feel very fortunate to have met Terri and received multiple treatments from her. Her nature is kind and nurturing. She creates a safe and welcoming space for healing to happen. I can’t speak highly enough of her character and professionalism as a Therapist.

Solace has a wonderfully calm, serene and healing atmosphere and Brittany is a superb RMT.

What is not to love about this place! From the moment you walk in the door the space is so relaxing. Everyone here is exceptionally good at what they do. Professional, friendly and caring. I bring my entire family here. I can't recommend them more highly.

The space is lovely and Maddy the therapist I saw was amazing! I immediately felt better after my treatment and she taught me some ways to help prevent the discomfort I was experiencing.

Amy Gait

Had my first ever massage and I left feeling like a new woman. My back has literally never felt so great! I didn’t even realize how much pain I live with day-to-day until I felt so much instant relief after my massage. Seriously game changing! A beautiful centre, and Kati did a fantastic job. 10/10 recommend.

Diana Anderson

Beautiful space, amazing RMT!

bob dobbs

I went in for a massage after a hard month at work, and left feeling refreshed, relaxed, and ready for a great weekend! A massage from Brit was exactly what I needed. Look no further if you're looking for a kind, caring, knowledgeable, skilled, and very professional RMT. Thank you :)

Jason Shore

This business does not answer its phone. I have been calling everyday for a week several times a day. Left a voicemail and no one returned my call. Very unprofessional. I have a physical disability and this office location was near my residence so it was my first choice.

Jennifer Jones

I was able to see Shayla on a last minute cancellation and I am very happy I said yes !!! Great massage which matched the beautiful calming space. Reception was kind and knowledgeable, other staff were friendly and I will definitely return :)

kaili blacklock-hind

I have received many healing treatments from Terri over the past two years. Her gentle, kind nature, wealth of knowledge and intuitive, safe hands always leave me feeling extremely nourished and blissful. Terri has also helped me shift some major imbalances in my body. I highly recommend gifting yourself a treatment with her!

Kari Warner

Relaxing zen atmosphere, calming decor and environment. My massage therapist is attentive, peaceful and massages are always a 10/10.

Munmun Singh

The place is rightly named. It brings you solace. The rooms have faint but positive lighting, lovely mild music and simple yet welcoming interiors to stimulate the mind. The staff is always so courteous and well behaved that one doesn’t feel out of place. I was given my massage by Brittany this time, who was very understanding and made me feel comfortable by asking about my choices first. The next one hour just flew by. I was totally relaxed and rejuvenated. I went back to work after the massage and experienced better productivity at the workplace. I would totally recommend the Solace Centre to friends and family.

Aabha Gupta

The courtesy of the staff as well as the ambience of the place is amazing :) The massage was awesome too!

Mary Ganzon

my experience of solace wasn't just with terri and her very professional and knowledgeable self as practitioner and massage therapist, but also with the owner of the studio. please forgive me, i have forgotten her name. she was hospitable and helpful when i inquired about possibilities for giving a talk at the studio. i highly recommend terri and solace centre.

Neelam Nagra

Nebilah is amazing!!

Amanda Bodin

Had an absolutely fantastic experience here. My first visit with Madeleine and she really helped a lot of pain I've been having, I felt great the next day and she also gave me a ton of suggestions to help manage pain and strengthen my body in a regular basis. The Solace centre is a very welcoming and calm atmosphere I felt at ease right away. Very thankful to have found this place!
