testimony

Active U and UBC REC was proud to present a workshop to the students of UBC during the month of January. Active U is a health promotion project aimed at increasing health and wellness in our UBC community. The goal of the week was to introduce students to a whole plethora of health and wellness techniques that they can use in their daily lives. The Shiatsu Association of BC presented a well received seminar teaching the basics of Shiatsu Massage. Many students were new to Shiatsu and found the seminar intriguing and inviting. With our wonderful presenters  students remained engaged and enthused. From one position to another students experienced giving and receiving massages. The seminar was so successful that we continue to receive requests for more! We really thank Bhavna for making this workshop a real success with her positive attitude and confidence.
Thank you to the Shiatsu Association of BC!

I have known Bhavna Solecki since September, 2002, when she joined the Shiatsu Therapy training program here at Sourcepoint. As a student, she demonstrated a strong determination and dedication to her studies. Since her graduation in September, 2003, she has generously volunteered her time as a teaching assistant in order to help new students and consolidate her own skills. Her conduct is always professional and the feedback from students regarding her performance is consistently excellent. Bhavna is a dependable person who is willing and able to overcome challenges in order to achieve her personal and professional goals. I am impressed with her ability to successfully balance the responsibilities of her personal life with the demands of her professional practice.
I can strongly recommend Bhavna for any position that requires a committed, reliable person with a strong work ethic who works well as part of a team.

It has been my pleasure and distinct advantage to have known Bhavna for five years. During this time I have had the good fortune to work with her professionally in a wide array of clinical and community settings. Her positive attitude and strong work ethics are inspiring and motivating .Bhavna’s interests in healing arts spans two decades and she is on of the most skilful and committed shiatsu practitioners I have ever known. She typifies the kind of therapist with whom anyone at any age can easily work with and benefit from. on numerous occasions I received shiatsu treatments from Bhavna found her work to be very effective. Her empathy and knowing hands have always brought me to a great sense of solace and well-being. I whole-heartedly support Bhavna in her current and future goals and wish her much success in her endeavours.

I wanted to thank you again for helping me with my shoulder while I was in Vancouver a few weeks ago. Your treatment really helped me alot in my travel back to France. I am trying to slow my travel down a bit until all is well but it is difficult to do so while I am still working on World Rabies Day activities. I believe what you are doing is really important for the people that are sent your way, like me for instance!

I was a student at Sourcepoint Shiatsu during the period of 2006-2007. During this time, Bhavna was a teacher’s assistant. She had a warm presence and showed her expertise by thoughtfully guiding the students. She clearly had a passion for shiatsu and had developed a nurturing style. Her insight was evident in her discussions with us about both the internal and external elements which can affect a person’s well-being and in her application of meridian theory. Bhavna never hesitated to be of assistance outside of the classroom and personally helped me with an assignment. She continues to keep in touch, informing us of useful events and maintaining a well appreciated presence in the students’ lives. I sincerely wish her the best with all of her endeavours.
Sincerely,

I have known Bhavna Solecki personally and professionally since 2002 when we attended the Sourcepoint Shiatsu School together.  Bhavna is an excellent practitioner and conducts herself very professionally.  We have done many gigs together and it is always a pleasure to work with her.  I have also received many massages from her and consider her to have great skill and knowledge.

Bhavna assisted in several Shiatsu practical classes I attended at Sourcepoint Shiatsu School. She was amazingly helpful and willing to answer all our questions. Bhavna also gave me about 20 minutes in class session treating my stiff neck and shoulders. Her treatment was powerful and very relaxilng. After the treatment my pain and stiffness was wonderfully relieved and I was pain free.
I consider Bhavna a knowledgeable Shiatsu therapist and compassionate healer.
Thank you Bhavna.

I have been having shiatsu with Bhavna for about 6 months now after my girlfriend recommended her to me. I recommend all my friends go and see her as she is amazing. Sometimes I tell her if I have a sore back or neck or what ever, and other times I just let her work out what my body needs. Her hands are very intuitive and can feel where my energy is blocked in my body and also how much pressure is required to release it. She truely has healing hands. Each time I leave after a session I feel so calm, centred and clear like a fog has been lifted.
Thanks again Bhavna

I met Bhavna through our Shiatsu Therapy Association events and noticed right away her desire and passion to being successful as a Shiatsu Therapist. We started a working relationship and  over time it developed into a friendship where there is support and encouragement to keep on moving forward and succeeding in our practices. She is extremely hard working, very professional and has drive and determination. She comes from a background of business and entrepreneurship and it shows in her understanding of what it takes to build a business. She is constantly  looking to improve herself as
a person, a mother, a therapist and a business woman. In my humble eyes she is what I call a "Superwoman".

Dear Bhavna:
You are magical! I’ve had massages for over thirty years in many places including spas like Canyon Ranch and you are truly the very best of the best. Thank you so much for helping me with the stress pains in my back and neck this summer. What you achieved for me in pain relief in 90 minutes has never happened in the past. It allowed me to spend some of the more stress filled weeks up in Vancouver successfully negotiating with some fairly difficult people. You have a remarkable gift, dear Bhavna, and I’m so grateful that you were there at the right moment in my life. My only regret is that I don’t live in Vancouver where I could see you regularly!

My relationship with Bhavna has transformed my life, as well as those around me. I found Bhavna through one of her advertisements in a Health magazine and knew the second we spoke that she would be a very important part of my life.
I have had several problems with my back and hips, all of which are minimal to nonexistent now. Bhavna has worked with me in mind, body and soul. I have attended her workshops and love the constant love and energy she exudes to everyone she works with. I have worked with dozens upon dozens of body work professionals and I have NEVER worked with anyone so in tune to energy and healing as Bhavna.
My daughter has also seen Bhavna on several occasions to alleviate the pain of a Dance related injury, (that several practitioners from Chiropractors to Physio -Therapists have not been able to correct).
I have often said that if and when I win the lottery I would hire her Full Time to work with me and my family. Although that would not be fair to the rest of the world if she was not sharing her amazing gifts. Our relationship has blossomed into a wonderful, trusting friendship that I cherish dearly.
I would recommend Bhavna to anyone looking for a truly Sacred Healing experience; it will change your life!
