About Wholehearted Wellness
Hi, I’m Birthe.
For years, I was stuck in the stress of corporate life—endless hours at a desk, headaches, and chronic pain. A company restructure forced me to rethink my future, and I chose to take control, returning to school to pursue a career that aligned with my passion for helping others.
Even before formal training, I had a natural ability to sense tension and discomfort, and massage therapy felt like the perfect path. Dealing with my own chronic pain from desk work, I found relief through regular massage and acupuncture, which inspired me to help others heal. After completing my first year of RMT training, I knew I wanted to do more. Once I finished my studies, I enrolled in an acupuncture program to deepen my skills and better serve my clients.
Life brought its own challenges—my adult children moved out, I navigated school during COVID-19, and went through perimenopause, separation, and divorce. These experiences taught me resilience and strengthened my commitment to helping others heal. After moving to Maple Ridge in 2024 to assist my family, I started a home-based practice rooted in compassion.
Today, I help clients manage pain, with a special focus on women’s health, including menstrual pain, perimenopause, and menopause. I’m also passionate about supporting the aging community, drawing on my own experiences with senior family members. Each step of my journey has led me here, and I’m grateful to use my skills and life lessons to support others on their healing paths.

Just finished my first ever acupuncture appointment with Birthe and I can say is... why haven't I done this before?? Such a relaxing experience and Birthe is amazing at leading you through the process in an educational manner. 10/10 would recommend!

I have had chronic pain since 2007 when I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and earlier this year I was informed that I had osteoporosis in my spine, as well as a cracked vertebrae. I met Birthe while doing physio. I have had acupuncture with her for a couple of months. She has helped me with managing my pain and help heal my body. It is an amazing experience, she has even helped with the emotional side as well. Through massage she has even helped me get feeling back in my feet which I haven had for years. She cares and knows what she is doing.
