Think of ear seeds as tiny “take-home” acupressure points for your nervous system

These small seeds are placed on specific points on the ear to gently stimulate your body between treatments and extend the benefits of your acupuncture session.

Ear seeds can support things like:
• Stress + anxiety regulation
• Sleep issues + “tired but wired” nights
• Headaches + migraines
• Digestion + bloating
• Cravings + emotional eating
• Hormone balance, PMS + mood
• Pain, tension + overall nervous system support

Ear seeds can be placed by any of our acupuncturists at the end of your appointment so you can carry the effects of your treatment with you for days afterward.

Struggling with sleep?

Our team addresses rest from every angle 〰hormonal, nervous system, pain, digestion, mindset, and daily habits to help you get the deep, restorative sleep your body needs.

〰 Acupuncture → Gently regulates the nervous system, reduces stress hormones, eases pain and tension, and supports circadian rhythm so your body can shift into “rest and repair.”

〰 Naturopathic Medicine → Assesses root causes like cortisol dysregulation, thyroid changes, perimenopause, gut issues, or nutrient deficiencies. Individualized plans may include labs, lifestyle shifts, and targeted supplements or herbal medicine.

〰 Counselling → Evidence-informed tools for anxiety, rumination, trauma, and stress. Build a sleep-supportive mindset and routines that last.

〰 Holistic Nutrition → Balances blood sugar, caffeine timing, and evening meals to stabilize energy and support melatonin production.

〰 Craniosacral Therapy → Soothes the autonomic nervous system and invites a deeper parasympathetic state. Ideal for “tired-and-wired” insomnia.

〰 Massage Therapy → Relieves muscle tension, improves circulation, and signals safety to the body. Regular sessions can help you fall asleep faster.

Meet Our Counsellors at Opal Wellness 🤍

We’re so grateful to have two incredible Registered Clinical Counsellors supporting our community here at Opal Wellness! Meet Alexis Petrunia and Nicola Spencer.

Alexis offers a gentle, person-centred approach rooted in empathy, cultural awareness, and collaboration. She specializes in supporting female-identifying individuals navigating self-esteem, anxiety, boundaries, emotional regulation, executive functioning challenges, and major life transitions. Her sessions blend compassion with evidence-based tools like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, creating space for growth, balance, and empowerment.

Nicola helps individuals and couples explore life and relationships with honesty, curiosity, and humour. She’s passionate about guiding people through perfectionism, big life changes, relationship challenges, and the “who am I?” questions that come with being human. Nicola’s approach is real, relatable, and deeply supportive, helping clients reconnect with themselves and each other.

Both Alexis and Nicola offer in-person and virtual counselling sessions, and their services are covered by most extended health benefit plans.

Whether you’re navigating transition, seeking deeper self-understanding, or ready to invest in your emotional well-being, our counsellors are here to walk alongside you.

We’re so happy to welcome Jenna to the Opal Wellness team!

Jenna believes acupuncture is a powerful conduit that reminds the body, mind, and spirit of their innate capacity to heal. Her own experience with pregnancy loss and complications inspired her deep curiosity about the connection between emotional and physical wellbeing, and now she’s passionate about helping others cultivate emotional resilience through acupuncture.

In her practice, Jenna takes a gentle and collaborative approach, especially for those who are new to acupuncture or have needle sensitivities. She works with a wide range of concerns, including:

⋒ Emotional transitions and sensitivities (grief, heartbreak, PMDD, anxiety, depression, OCD)
⋒ Nervous system and hormonal regulation
⋒ Pregnancy loss support
⋒ Concussion and brain injury recovery
⋒ Viral infection flare-ups
⋒ Pain management, digestive support, and scar needling

Above all, Jenna values creating a safe, compassionate space where patients feel heard and supported.

You can find Jenna at the clinic on Mondays from 2:30–8:30pm and Saturdays from 8am–2pm starting October 27th.

Welcome, Uttam!

We’re so excited to welcome Uttam Gala, Registered Massage Therapist, to the Opal Wellness team!

Uttam graduated from the Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy with honours in both Clinical and Academic Sciences and brings a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to his work. His treatments blend a deep understanding of anatomy and movement with a strong belief that the body and mind are interconnected.

Using techniques like myofascial release, joint mobilization, deep tissue, and relaxation massage, Uttam’s treatments aim to address the root cause of pain and dysfunction rather than just the symptoms. He also works extensively with pre and post-natal patients and has a special interest in posture correction and functional mobility.

Uttam will be joining us Mondays and Thursdays from 2:30–8:30pm starting November 17th. As we move into the busy season, RMT appointments tend to fill up quickly, especially as many patients use up their extended benefits, so we recommend booking ahead.

Honouring Balance on the Autumn Equinox 🍂

In Chinese medicine, autumn belongs to the Metal element, connected to the lungs and large intestine. Just as the trees let go of their leaves, this season invites us to release what no longer serves us, whether it’s stagnant emotions, old habits, or clutter in our daily lives.

The lungs remind us to breathe deeply, to take in nourishment, and to stay connected with the world around us. The large intestine helps us let go with ease, creating space for new beginnings.

Ways to align with the season:

⋒ Spend time in nature and notice the shifting light.

⋒ Support your lungs with slow, intentional breathing and warming foods.

⋒ Allow yourself to grieve, reflect, and release, honouring both endings and beginnings.

⋒ Strengthen your immunity with seasonal foods like pears, radishes, and warming teas.
