Professional, respectful and attentive demeanour, nothing pushy. Definite beneficial effects experienced within the next two days, and it seems to be lasting. Recommended.

Very happy to have had my first appointment with Bobby Malecki. The questions he asked me were insightful, relevant and thorough. He is very easy to talk to and I felt completely comfortable with him. I'm excited to use the herbs he put together for me. I feel a great deal of trust in him.

First time having acupuncture and won't be the last. A calm and inviting space. Aysha took time to ask questions, answer mine, put me at ease. She is very easy to talk to. Never felt rushed. All in all, a wonderful experience and I'm feeling really good about my decision to try acupuncture for my health. I'm very grateful to have found Inner strength acupuncture and health (Aysha). Thank you Aysha!

My experience was absolutely fantastic, I have never experienced the way I felt as the treatment was incredibly relaxing and beneficial, the gentle and extremely knowledgeable treatment shined through, the atmosphere was beautiful & calming, I later that evening had a extremely relaxing sleep. I already have another treatment booked. Rob Malecki is a gentle natured, kind, and highly knowledgeable DTCM in Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine.

I truly recommend Bobby Malecki! He takes the time to listen to my concerns and explain how the treatment could help address them. The session itself is always incredibly relaxing. I’ve had acupuncture before, but Bobby is truly exceptional. He is attentive to my comfort throughout the treatment and customized everything to fit my specific needs. If you’re looking for an acupuncturist who is not only highly skilled but also compassionate and truly invested in your healing journey, look no further. I’m so grateful for his care and expertise! Thank you Bobby 🙏

This is my first experience at Inner Strength Acupuncture. I cannot say enough how much I appreciate the knowledge, skills and professionalism of Dr Bob Malecki for his Acupuncture and treatment of the whole person. I was in pain for more than 4 weeks due to a car accident, and during my first treatment I already felt much less pain. His modalities address the whole person, not just the symptoms. His skill with Acupuncture and diagnosis, and his ability to communicate and encourage patient learning and participation in one's own healing is so beneficial and motivating for me as a patient. I highly recommend Dr Malecki's services and that of Inner Strength Acupuncture.

I had a fantastic experience with Allie today! She is so professional, kind and has zero judgment. On top of that she is really an amazing human. I would highly recommend her....for anything that may be disrupting your life. I left feeling that my emotional load was lighter and my traps and neck don't feel like rocks anymore! Thanks so much Allie looking forward to my next vist!
