M Engel Acupuncture, Bridgewater, NS (2026)

01/11/2026

In this cold and, right now damp, season I am relying on the herb in the above photo, Mugwort, so much. Its warming and gathering qualities enhance acupuncture treatments (and my own wellbeing) in a soothing way.

I’m really turned inward right now and it’s hard to know what to post and in this wintry season. I’m leaning into quiet and rest, and often seeing people home with some mugwort for doing moxibustion at home as well.

In any case this is a time for being a bit more cozy and taking a little extra good care of ourselves and I hope you’re doing that too. If acupuncture, acupressure massage and moxibustion (which is the use of mugwort to warm acupuncture points and meridians) sounds like self care to you, I gently invite you to book with me.

I have appointments available over the coming weeks in Bridgewater, NS. I’m really looking forward to getting back into my treatment space here, and seeing my patients again after what’s felt like a long time. 🌱 🔥

🌿 Reintroduction & Invitation 🌿

Hi, I’m Michelle Engel, a Registered Acupuncturist offering treatments in Bridgewater, NS and Moose Jaw, SK.

When people work with me, they often leave describing a sense of exhale — a feeling of reset, or feeling more like themselves. My efforts are toward creating space for your body to settle, your mind to quiet, and your system to reconnect with its own balance.

In an appointment with me you can expect to feel comfortable and relaxed, with minimal discomfort. I will stay in the room with you through your whole treatment and ensure you feel supported and safe as you receive care.

Acupuncture is part of a framework that views the body, mind, and spirit as inseparable. It can help ease physical pain and tension, calm the nervous system, regulate hormones and digestion, support sleep and mood, and restore vitality in times of stress, grief, or transition. There is so much this medicine has to offer!

With acupuncture you can be met where you are — whether you come in with a specific concern or simply the sense that something in you wants to shift.

Each treatment is attuned to your unique needs. Sessions are gentle, collaborative, and guided by the pace of your own body — creating conditions for safety, release, and renewal.

In my own life, I am focused on learning how to move toward my own balance with kindness and curiosity. That same intention shapes how I hold space in my practice: steady, warm, and deeply respectful of your lived experience and needs.

If you are interested in trying acupuncture for the first time, or ready to resume treatments, I’d love to meet you. I invite you to reach out via message or book an appointment through the link in my profile.

🍂 🍁 thank you for being here!

✨ Reset, restore, and welcome the season fully ✨

Acupuncture is deep rest + powerful traditional medicine. 🌿 One session can leave you feeling lighter, calmer, and more fully yourself — and those effects are felt long after you leave the clinic.

As we move into fall, now is the perfect time to support your immune system and set yourself up for a strong, peaceful winter. 🍂

I’ll be in Moose Jaw Sept 28–Oct 12 and Nov 2–16, and when I’m not in Moose Jaw, I’m warmly welcoming patients in Bridgewater. 💛

You can book through the link in my profile or send me a DM.

Even one hour of deep rest can ripple through the days that follow. Make space for yourself.

Summer busy times caught up to me the past two weeks and I needed a lot of rest and support to get back to my treatment room. I’m grateful and pleased to say I am ready now 🌻

I have appointments open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings this week in Moose Jaw and from Sept 1, weekday and limited weekend availability in Bridgewater.

Link in profile to book. 🥰

I’m just slowly settling into my new, permanent space here in Moose Jaw. Feeling so much gratitude to be able to do this and so much hope for what we will accomplish here, together. I say this all the time: being able to practice this medicine is a privilege and I don’t take it lightly!

Facial Massage! 💆‍♀️ When you come in for an acupuncture appointment with me it’s highly likely that you will be offered a facial massage. This adjunct therapy is aligned with your treatment plan and tuned in to our shared goal of having you leave feeling better than when you came in.

Our faces are the home of the beginning or end of 6 meridians, lines on and in the body where Qi is flowing. Facial massage can soothing and relaxing, a balm to our nervous systems and an effective way to move stagnation that causes pain and other symptoms.

☯️ things I want you to know:

🌻 I will always ask first and check in throughout your treatment! If touch isn’t your thing, I will never push you to try tuina (acupressure massage) or any kind of massage in my treatment room.

🌾 In the same way, if you book an appointment and arrive feeling like needling isn’t for you right now, massage, gua sha or cupping are going to be offered to you to make sure that your needs are met and that we are working toward your goals. I say it all the time:

✨ with Traditional East Asian Medicine, there is always more than one way to approach a pattern and support your health journey! ✨

🌞 You can prepare for facial massage by applying minimal or no makeup before your appointment. If you forget or are coming from/going to something else and have makeup on that’s fine! We can make decisions dynamically, together.

🌼 You are invited and encouraged to let me know what you are feeling about massage, acupuncture and the other treatment modalities I use. I am humbly offering this medicine for you! Your comfort and feelings are deeply important, and your consent can be dynamic, changing from treatment to treatment or within one session.

Have you ever had facial massage or other Tuina treatments? What did you think? How did you feel? I want to hear about your experience and thoughts!

🥰

Always pleased to say: I have available appointments in Moose Jaw over the next two weeks for acupuncture, acupressure massage (tuina), Gua Sha and Fire Cupping.

If you’ve never tried acupuncture before, I would love for you to consider adding this safe, effective and relaxing medicine to your self-care routine.

Acupuncture is beneficial in so many contexts and for managing many types of symptoms including: recovery from injury; managing chronic and acute pain; seasonal allergies; migraines and digestive issues; stress and sleep support; recovery from viral or bacterial infections; healthy aging; supporting mental and emotional wellbeing; hormonal balance including fertility support in any body, menopause support and menstrual health support for issues ranging from period pain, PMDD and PCOS to endometriosis.

Send me a message if you are wondering if Acupuncture is right for you or use the link in my profile to book with me. ❤️

There’s one aspect of the ebb and flow of my acupuncture practice that means something lovely: people are feeling better and getting to where they want to be! 🥹

In Bridgewater the last few weeks I’ve had the absolute privilege to support people who have become pregnant; given birth; recovered from injury; managed digestive conditions; decreased the frequency and intensity of migraines (2 folks down to NO migraines!); managed symptoms of stress; sorted out period pain and hormonal changes; and built the balance they need in the bodies to feel strong and regulated.

When someone comes in for their first appointment with me, I will usually have a good sense of how many treatments it will take to see substantial improvement and at what level of frequency they can expect to come in. We check in on our treatment plan and how things are going each time they come in and adjust accordingly - with the goal to moving toward (usually) less frequent wellness or maintenance treatments once they are feeling better.

I offer direct billing to most insurance providers at my practice in Bridgewater as well as a sliding scale for low waged, underinsured and uninsured folks. 💚

SO check out my booking calendar! Or send me a message! I have time for you and energy for you with open weekday and some weekend appointments this month and humbly offer this beautiful medicine.

Neurodivergent-friendly acupuncture care … what does that mean? Many of us are feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, or just done. As an acupuncturist with ADHD, I get it.

In many ways, our world isn’t built to be comfortable for neurodivergent beings, but your care can be.

My practice is trauma-informed and treatments can be designed to support folks navigating ADHD, autism, sensory sensitivity, anxiety, and burnout along with chronic physical symptoms often present in neurodiverse folks—whether you’re exploring a new diagnosis, adjusting to meds, or just trying to build a softer, more sustainable life, I’ve got you and so does this ancient traditional medicine.

Acupuncture appointments with me are designed for each individual that comes through my door; that includes you, as you are.

Auricular (ear) acupuncture, TCM acupuncture, and other gentle therapies that I offer can help regulate your nervous system, improve focus, ease overwhelm, and support deep rest. No pressure, no judgment—just care that meets you where you are.

If this resonates, reach out. You deserve care that truly considers *you.*
