This is another childhood favorite that I enjoyed during colder months, an especially popular dessert that we ate during Lunar New Year. These sticky rice dumplings (tang yuan), filled with slightly sweet black sesame and walnut paste, floating in a fragrant sweet ginger syrup are chewy, texturally satisfying, easily digestible and warming for your insides.

A simple, light and nutritious sweet treat that is ideal following the weeks of holiday feasting, rich, unusual foods and over-indulgence! Not to mention, it is gluten-free AND supportive for your hardworking Kidneys and Spleen.

Here are just a few of the MANY things we've tackled this damp and chilly January, kicking off 2026 using Community Acupuncture!

If you are unfamiliar with the wonders of Community Acupuncture, in a nutshell, it is acupuncture treatments offered in a supportive group setting at $30-60 sliding scale rates. We provide treatments consisting of distal points (arms, legs, head, ears) while comfortably
lying in zero gravity recliner chairs.

Acupuncture is a dose dependent therapy and that the benefits are achieved by frequency, and less so by individual doses. Therefore, the
appropriate treatment plan is key in assisting the gradual process for resolving issues and promoting recovery. It becomes more accessible
for clients to access as much treatment as often as they need.

Community acupuncture = affordable and accessible holistic health care.

Fantastic for keeping the baddies at bay since there is a cold virus still making the rounds as well as the constant risk of the big “C”. And definitely recommended if you are recovering from an upper respiratory infection. The warming properties of the green onion and ginger are also lovely for circulation as well as promoting digestion.

A ubiquitous part of my childhood dinner table, this DELICIOUS, flavorful, aromatic green onion-ginger sauce that was commonly served with proteins. Always the nostalgic little plastic take out…

With the start of the new year, we wanted to take the opportunity to reintroduce members of our H&H acupunking team as one member has completed her legal name change in recent months and our other has recently reaped the fruits of her labour, recently passing her board exams to become a Registered Acupuncturist!

Commencing January 15th, we are raising our late fee to $5 to adequately compensate our acupunks for having to rush and juggle more to stay on schedule due to late clients.

In order to keep our rates affordable, we depend on our clients to arrive on time so we can stay on track with our 4-5 clients / hour capacity. We have 15 minutes allotted to each client, so when you arrive 5, 10 minutes late, the amount of time your acupunk has to work with you gets shorter and shorter....

Out of consideration for your acupunk, your fellow acu-nappers and the quality of the care we provide, here are a few things we need our
client base to support us with:

⏰️ Clients arriving 5+ minutes late will be charged $5.
This can be avoided if you call us to let us know you are running late, 250-590-3185. Please note, repeat offenders will be charged the late fee.

⏰️ You should be IN your recliner at the start of your appointment time. Clients should be arriving at least 5 minutes before so they have time for payment, bathroom, etc.

⏰️ Being late cuts short not only the amount of time your acupunk has to work with you and unfairly cuts into the appointment time of the
client booked after you.

⏰️ When you receive your email appointment reminders 36 hrs before your scheduled timeslot, OPEN your email to confirm your appointment
DATE + TIME.

⏰️ If you do not use or regularly check your email, please put systems in place to remind yourself of the appointment you have booked.

Be accountable for the timeslot you have booked, as our scheduling is limited.

Out of respect for your practitioner and your fellow clients, help us help you get the treatment you need. Do your part and BE ON TIME.

As the majority of our treatment fees are paid with bank cards, we'd like to remind our large clientbase about the cost of credit card processing fees for our tiny business 🤑👎🤑👎🤑

If it is ever an option, it would be much appreciated that you use DEBIT or CASH whenever possible, so we can reduce the inevitable cost of doing business.

We will be assessing over the next few months and would like to avoid having to put in place passing those credit card processing fees onto our clients...
