Come relax and unwind in comfort while receiving a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment that is best suited to your needs.
I offer TCM Acupuncture treatments, for both men and women, addressing a wide variety of general health concerns. Some common ailments seen in clinic include; headaches, digestive issues, insomnia, pain, sciatica, allergies, colds/flus as well as menstrual irregularities and fertility support (including IVF/IUI).
In addition, I offer pregnancy support. Acupuncture can be used throughout pregnancy for general pregnancy symptoms as well as treatment for breech/posterior presentation (ideally 34-35 weeks) and/or for pre-labour acupuncture from 37 weeks to help prepare the body for labour.
Cupping therapy is available as part of treatments. This modality is a great adjunct that can help to alleviate pain and discomfort as well as ease cough and cold symptoms.
Looking for a great way to relax & de-stress? Try a gentle Tui-Na Microsystem Massage for the Head/Scalp/Neck. This treatment includes an acupressure massage of your face, scalp, neck & shoulders. You will fall into a state of absolute relaxation while activating the natural healing processes of your entire body. Special attention can be paid to areas of personal concern to you (such as headaches, sinus issues, insomnia...) or just let your body do what it needs to do. This massage is a giant step towards personal rejuvenation and self care. Destress, sleep better and relieve pain.

Little About Me...
As a woman I have experienced my fair share of issues regarding my cycle and conception, these experiences have shaped the look of my practice over the years. I have seen the benefits that TCM afforded me and I want to offer that same help for my patients...
Throughout my own fertility journey I have used TCM alongside Western ART techniques (IUI & IVF) to expand my family. TCM and Acupuncture is a wonderful support along the fertility journey and I think is a valuable asset to utilize when looking to start a family. I used it as a means to regulate my cycles, support my general health and to help manage the stress of infertility treatments.
I have continued to study how TCM can benefit women on their fertility journey, through pregnancy and into motherhood and would love to help you through whatever stage you are at.
When you work with me in clinic, on your initial visit we will complete a full health history. This looks at all body systems, in order to get a full picture of your health. With the intake complete I can determine your TCM diagnosis and a specific treatment plan for you. You will then receive the treatment, including acupuncture and any other TCM modalities that may be suited. Once the needles are in, they are retained for 20-30 minutes while you relax.
​When I explain what I do as an acupuncturist I often describe it as being like a gardener. It is my job to help the garden (my patients) thrive. I am able to help nature along by providing the necessary water and fertilizer (a.k.a acupuncture & TCM modalities). I make sure that the plants receive the right amount of sun and remove any weeds. Gardening takes time and effort, but the reward is a beautiful healthy garden with abundant flowers and vegetables!
Acupuncture treatment in itself is a lot like removing a kink in a hose. If your garden hose has a kink in it, water cannot flow and without adequate water the plants cannot thrive, grow and flower. As an Acupuncturist I detect and correct where the kinks or blockages in the flow of Qi (energy) are. Once located, I can use specific points & TCM modalities to un-kink and restore the proper flow of Qi, so that your cells, muscles, tissues and organs can function correctly.
