the space

We have been a part of the Roncesvalles community in Toronto for over 20+ years. The space was first opened back in 1999 with Celina, which was then passed down to Chris, and now to Suki.

Although there have been a few switchovers, it has been kept within the ‘family’ (aka those who have worked out of the space first).

Because of the love we share for the space (& community), we strive to serve our neighborhood with the same compassion and care, regardless of who’s in charge. 

Note: Our store-front & wellness clinic is wheelchair accessible (standard sizing). Unfortunately our gender neutral washroom is not (down a flight of stairs). If any assistance is required, please let our staff know and we’d be happy to help.

our offerings

If you didn’t know, our space is divided into 2 – we have a retail space at the front, and a clinic at the back!

OUR HERBAL APOTHECARY STORE FRONT

With a love for herbs, we have been selling high-quality and ethically sourced herbal products for as long as we can remember.

These include herbal teas and tinctures (in pre-blend, single, and custom formulas), as well as other herbal products including salves, essential oils, and other seasonal items.

OUR HOLISTIC WELLNESS CLINIC

We are known as one of the few community acupuncture clinics in Toronto. We also have a whole team of holistic wellness practitioners that offer 1-on-1 consults for your health concerns! These include naturopathic doctors, acupuncturists, traditional chinese medicine practitioners, massage therapists, herbalists, and more. Workshops and group sessions are offered based on practitioner availability as well.

We also offer our big room for rent if you have a workshop you’d like to host – just send us an email for availabilities!

our commitments

ALLYSHIP

Providing a safe and inclusive space for everyone is important to us. This is why we are proud allies to our 2SLGBTQIA+, non-conformity, and racial/ethnic communities.

 

ENVIRONMENT

We also care about our planet! So are encouraging our customers to join our initiatives to help the environment:

  • Bring your own container/bottle program and save $ per container! You can also choose to donate the $ saved towards our chosen charity (Conservation International and Nature Conservancy Canada)
    • Save 15 cents for every tea paper bag, and save $1 for every tincture bottle
    • Please ensure each container/bottle is thoroughly cleaned! We reserve the right to refuse any container that are deemed unsuitable.
  • Paper bags will no longer be offered, but can be purchased for 25 cents to encourage customers to bring their own bags.
  • Free water refill program: instead of purchasing a water bottle, we will refill yours for free (this is especially useful in the summer months!).
