Really great service

Nanaimo Rock & Gem May 10, 2026

Do you believe in magic ? I sure do . Dr Jake at the Wellhouse is amazing ! Absolute MAGIC ! Seriously , 10/10 highly recommend . Do not hesitate , you will be better for it ! Having never been to a chiropractor in my life , I must admit I was sceptical . In desperation , after being in pain for over a month , I was at my wits end . I phoned and begged for an appointment . Louise at reception was very kind and empathetic , she got me an appointment that same day . Dr Jake listened carefully while I described my pain ( and apprehension ) and assured me he could help me . Dr Jake is knowledgeable and compassionate , he is gentle and thorough , he explained everything along the way and even taught me self care exercises I can do on my own . I am so very grateful that his treatments have completely HEALED MY PAIN . It was amazing , just like magic ! I am a believer ! I continue to see Dr Jake to keep me healthy and look forward to our visits because he and Louise are so personable , we have a good laugh . Thanks Dr Jake .

Dr. Jake Deeble is the best Chiropractor. He listens to you as well as assesses your physical condition. He treats the issue and is equal parts personable and professional. If you need Chiropractic care - Dr Jake is your guy!

Dr Jake Deeble was great. I’ve seen a few different chiropractors in my lifetime and he’s definitely the best.

Colin Desnoyers February 24, 2026

Dr. Jake Deeble is the best chiropractor I’ve seen. He’s exceptionally skilled as a chiro, but even more than that, he’s compassionate and makes you feel heard. Can’t recommend him enough!!

Amazing people, helping me stay healthy as I get older!

Jerry Woodcock December 3, 2025

Dr. Glenn is so amazing. I always feel so much better after my visits.

Dawne Anderson November 5, 2025

I just love this team so much. I've been going to Dr.Glen since the spring for Chiro and have noticed a significant improvement in my symptoms, but even more it's just a warm and welcoming space. Would definitely recommend, especially if you're nervous about starting a new treatment program or just have general anxiety. They'll make you feel at home.

Karly Upshall October 18, 2025

I can’t say enough good things about The Wellhouse. Dr. Jake is absolutely amazing he really takes the time to listen and explain everything in a way that makes sense. I came in struggling with back pain, and after seeing him I’ve noticed a huge improvement. The care is professional, the atmosphere is welcoming, and you can tell they genuinely care about their patients. If you’re looking for a chiropractor in Nanaimo, I highly recommend Dr. Jake and the team at The Wellhouse.

Brandon Goupil August 26, 2025

I've been seeing Dr. Glen at The Wellhouse for the past 2 years, and I can't recommend the practice enough. I initially came to them due to old injuries that finally caught up with me. I was experiencing chest pain that felt like a heart attack, along with hip problems, lower back pain, shoulder pain, and neck discomfort. Dr. Glen took the time to thoroughly examine me and discovered that one of my vertebrae in my back was missing a piece, which was pinching a nerve and causing my chest pain. Thanks to their care, I've learned so much about my body and my health. I can honestly say I haven't felt this good since I was a child. I'm grateful for their expertise and compassionate approach. I will definitely keep coming back — I couldn't ask for better hands to help me on my wellness journey.

FAIRYTALE LANDSCAPING July 9, 2025

I've had continual back pain postpartum, and Dr. Jake immediately knew how to address and treat my needs. I've been to him many times for treatments now, and always come away feeling cared for and like the treatment made a difference. The staff at the wellhouse have always been very friendly and welcoming as well!

Taryn Deeble June 8, 2025

Jake's my guy. He really took the time to listen to my issues and get to heart of the problem. I'm back playing pickle-ball and looking forward to having Jake watch-over my long-term progress. Super friendly staff at The Wellhouse!!!

I have been going to Dr. Glen Reed for over a year now and find he and all his staff to be wonderful and accommodating. Treated thoroughly, gently and kindly right from entering the office with Louise, Sangita and Amanda, through to treatment with Dr. Glen. Great place!!

Janet Buckland October 15, 2024

Dr Glen helped immensely with my herniated back when physio didn’t. He’s also been a great source of information in the years since.

Amber October 2, 2023

I only give 5-star reviews if I feel they are deserved. The Wellhouse is a very nice office setting. Dr. Reed is very knowledgeable, professional, and takes great care in providing a high level of service toward his clients, both through chiropractic adjustments and education of the value of chiropractic care. As a tall man I’ve seen several chiropractors over the years, and Glen is the best one I’ve found in British Columbia

Landon Pike July 7, 2023

The Wellhouse is the best chiropractor

Dr's Glen & Jessica have been amazing!

Amanda Tallon April 21, 2023

The Wellhouse, Dr. Glen Reed, Louise and Sangita are amazing!!! I haven't yet had the pleasure of seeing other practitioners here, however, I'm excited in the opportunity of working with them ❤️🙏🏻😁 Dr. Glen Reed knows what he's doing, he has such great energy and such a calming space here at the Wellhouse. The walls are filled with colourful pictures in each private room, which are so inviting and definitely fun and friendly for myself and any kids that walk through the door - they even have an alligator for kids to lay on (I assume) when kids receive chiropractor treatments. When I first booked with The Wellhouse there was virtually no wait time to get me in for a treatment - I was able to book at my convenience, a week ahead of time, and now have a scheduled regime with Dr. Glen of three times a week for the first couple of months❤️ I've heard nothing but great things about the other practitioners here and I'm excited to book in my first massage! Highly recommend 🦋

Sunny Vee April 13, 2023

Does excellent work. Highly recommend him.

dennis authier December 16, 2022

I’ve been seeing Dr.Glen Reed for over a year now, he is hands down the best in town!

Ray Nasby October 7, 2022

I came to the Wellhouse on a personal recommendation which was more than justified by my experience. I’ve been working with Dr Glen & Dr Jessica for over three (3) months and I went from personally disabled and chronic maddening pain to completely enabled and pain-free. These folks made it possible for me to get well. There's definitely a path to getting well and I found I get more out of the journey with the right people to guide and help me engage it and I found that here at the Wellhouse. From assessment to adjustments, with a plan and advice, to providing corrective tools and strengthening exercises that are targeted and work. The super-organized “Front Crew” at reception are kind, accommodating and patient - that all means a lot when you are experiencing pain. The Wellhouse has been and continues to be a very positive experience for me. Thank you all for helping me achieve the state of wellness I enjoy today.

I highly recommend Dr. Reed. Dr. Glen Reed is an invaluable chiropractor and plays a big part on my healing journey. I came to his pain management clinic in April 2021 to see if he could help me with my long term ongoing back pain. I was 300 lbs, not sleeping well, did not have a lot of movement in my back, couldn't stand for long without having to sit and was struggling to do day to day activities without being in pain. Over the weeks and months he assisted me in making small incremental changes that have given me my life back. I went from not walking and being able to stand for very long to being able to enjoy a nature walk for the first time in years. He does not overwhelm you with an all or nothing approach but gives you doable and achievable steps on your road to recovery. He encourages and motivates you every step of the way. He is knowledgeable not only in chiropractics but the body as a whole. He said to me when we first met that I have to heal my back from the inside out. To date I am 75lbs done. I still have a ways to go but I could not have reached this place without his guidance and ongoing support. If you want to heal your back pain and are determined to make changes in your life, open to eating better, sleeping better and healing your body from the inside out then this is the doctor for you. Dr. Reed is like a life coach to a better life. Also all the front desk staff he has are helpful, friendly and awesome!

Debra Smith December 20, 2021

Cannot say enough good things about the Wellhouse. Kind and friendly staff at the front desk and Dr Glen and Dr Jess have shown my family and I exceptional care. We started our chiropractic journey with my daughter when she was 2. She had been struggling with constipation her whole little life and it had been getting worse. A friend suggested going to see the chiropractor and within two visits, she was already going to the bathroom with more ease. Dr Glen identified that she had a tilted pelvis and that was what was making it hard for her. Since then we have all started seeing him and have been for 7 years. Regular treatment helped my son with his seasonal croup and has helped with many of my husband and I’s regular aches and pains. I had no idea that chiropractic care could heal more than just bone aches and pains going in. Dr Glen and Dr Jess’ knowledge about the body and how it works, and their willingness to share with their patients is what keeps people coming back.

Sarah Dyck December 18, 2021

First appointment today and actually first appointment with a chiropractor. I felt so welcome and taken care of. They made me feel like not just my business but my health and journey to health was a priority. They also have great COVID protocols in place.

Catherine Mann August 6, 2020

Professional, great customer service! Thank you Jessica and Glen

Peter Cizmar March 3, 2020

Dr Glen is a true professional and always very friendly I feel super lucky I found them Excellent service I would highly recommend this clinic to everybody

Janos Gulyas March 3, 2020

After trying everything under the sun for almost 8 years to fix my back pain I reluctantly decided to try Chiropractic treatments. I had a fear of being "cracked" and thought that if I started treatment that it would never end. On advise from my personal trainer I made an appointment at the Reed Family Wellness Centre. This clinic is like no other. At the end of my assessment I was given a plan of treatment that included a time and cost estimate that gave me a solid understanding of my condition and the plan to treat it. I am so happy to say that after 8 years of suffering I am free of my back pain. I cannot thank Dr. Reed and his wonderful staff enough. I highly recommend this clinic and encourage anyone who is in pain to give them a try.

Kerry Pearce January 3, 2020

Reed Family Wellness is top notch! They excel in several areas a business should with a great location, clean and tidy facilities and professional and pleasant staff. Appointments are consistently on time and sometimes the operation is running so well that if you drop in early they can get you in and out ahead of schedule! As pleasant as all of the above things are the Dr. Glen and Dr. Jessica offer something truly rare, a passion for their craft and a dedication to excellence. Their genuine compassion coupled with their knowledge of the field will serve you well. I can’t believe how quickly my shoulder is healing after years of intermittent trouble!

Meredith Lopez December 4, 2019

I scoffed at the idea of getting a sleep consultant (Not sure if it was my pride or sleep deprivation) Friends recommended Riannon and I am so glad we gave her a call. Within a week my boys were sleeping through the night. We felt completely supported. She was lovely to work with. I cannot say enough good things about her. I am now a believer in the power of a good sleep consultant 😁

Dani Gerick November 8, 2019

Wonderful staff and Dr.Reed works miracles
