your journey to wellness starts here

Stressed, anxious or in pain?

Imagine this: Restful nights, feeling calm and centred. A balanced and harmonious body. Feeling energized and ready to crush your goals.

It sounds like a pipe dream, but trust me, you CAN wake up every morning feeling energized, confident and excited as you live your dream life.

I get it. You've tried all the treatments, exercises and supplements. You're religious about your morning and bedtime routines. You've even said no to things you used to love, all in the pursuit of balance and well-being. But the worst part is, you're still not getting the results you want.

I know it might seem like you'll feel this way forever, but I promise you this: your body isn't betraying you and there's nothing wrong with you.

How do I know? I used to be you. And now, helping people reclaim their energy, vitality and zest for life is exactly what I do every single day.

here's how we help

Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture is a time-tested practice that gently stimulates points on your body to trigger its innate healing mechanisms. This ancient therapy enhances circulation, harmonizes hormones and neurotransmitters, releases pain-relieving endorphins, and soothes the nervous system, allowing for an integrative approach to restore function and boost vitality.

While Acupuncture is effective for most conditions, we focus on the following:

chronic & acute
pain relief

Experiencing persistent pain?
Acupuncture goes beyond relief,
addressing root causes by
stimulating points that increase
blood flow for lasting change.

Imagine waking up pain-free and tackling everyday tasks with ease.

anxiety & stress
management

Overwhelmed by life's demands?
Acupuncture isn't just a temporary
escape; it provides lasting
inner calm by balancing
energy flow.

Picture a relaxed body at ease,
with a calm & resilient mind.

Our Proven Approach to Your Wellbeing

  • step 1: free consultation

    Your journey begins with a thorough discussion of your primary health concerns and goals. We want to ensure our approach aligns with your needs, providing a solid foundation for your personalized care plan.

    After a full assessment and diagnosis, you’ll get a treatment plan (including approximate number of sessions required). If you decide to move forward with your care, we will proceed with the first treatment right away.

  • step 2: active treatment

    During this phase, we actively address the root cause of your symptoms, using a tailored combination of appropriate tools such as acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, movement therapy, dietary changes and more.

    The exact number of visits and length of this phase is based on the nature and severity of your chief complaint and overall level of health. Regular assessments will ensure we are continually providing you with the best possible care.

  • step 3: maintenance

    As your condition and health stabilize, we gradually reduce the frequency of your visits, until you no longer require treatment.

    Many patients choose to continue to come in monthly or quarterly for tune-ups as they find the treatments are so relaxing, although this is completely optional.

frequently asked questions

Does Acupuncture Hurt?

Acupuncture is generally a painless experience. The needles we use are extremely fine (about as thick as a hair) and are never inserted more than necessary. You may feel some mild sensations such as dullness, heaviness or tingling for about 30 seconds to a minute, but after that you should feel really relaxed. We take a gentle approach, checking in with you throughout the needling process, and make your comfort our top priority.


How many treatments do I need?

The number of treatments required is dependent on multiple factors such as the duration and severity of the issue, your overall health, adherence to the treatment plan, and your responsiveness to acupuncture. Prior to starting treatment, I will provide a comprehensive treatment plan, estimating the number of sessions required. Typically, for recent or mild conditions, around 4-6 sessions may be enough, whereas more severe or chronic cases might necessitate 8-12 sessions for a single course of treatment. Most people see at least a minor shift in their symptoms within 1-4 sessions.

Following the initial course of treatment, we conduct a thorough reassessment. Depending on your progress, we may gradually extend the time between visits (tapering off) or transition into maintenance mode, where visits occur every 6 months or as needed. In cases of significant severity or longstanding conditions, a repeat course of treatment may be recommended before tapering off begins.

Is Acupuncture covered by insurance?

Most benefit plans include coverage for acupuncture, however we recommend confirming this with your provider before your appointment. Following your treatment, you will receive a receipt that can be submitted to your insurance provider for reimbursement. It's important to note that acupuncture is not covered by OHIP. If you are personally covering the cost, you may be eligible to claim acupuncture fees as medical expenses on your tax return.
