Getting started is simple. Reach out through my email or schedule an intial consultation—I’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is root cause medicine. I always seek to understand your unique health history that allows me to better understand the areas we need to focus on together. I love collaborating with my patients so we can decide together what kind of treatment and schedule is right for you. Moreover, patient education is key. I want you to understand my treatment protocol so you can leave feeling empowered and educated.

Acupuncture treats many conditions. If you are unsure if whether acupuncture is right for you, feel feel to get in touch. The following are an example of what I treat using acupuncture:

• Pain — stiff neck, TMJ, headaches and migraines, back pain, nerve pain, chronic and acute injuries, sprains, strains, etc.

• Digestion — IBS, constipation, diarrhea, gastritis, IBD, bloating, nausea, acid reflux, etc.

• Gynecology — irregular periods, painful periods, endometriosis, PCOS, PMS, infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, etc.

• Immunity — autoimmune, allergies, hives, seasonal allergies

• Mood — anxiety, depression, seasonal depression/SAD, bipolar disorder, fatigue, insomnia, brain fog, etc.

Your initial appointment will involve a consultation where we go over your health history and primary concerns in detail.

Then we take your tongue and pulse to assess your body’s constitution.

Then we start treatment! This typically involves acupuncture, tui na massage, cupping, and/or electrical stimulation depending on each individual. I always explain next steps of treatment to make sure you are comfortable moving forward.

The acupuncture needles are retained in the body usually for 25-30 minutes - this allows the Qi to flow through the meridians and allows your body to relax - hence the acu-nap!

In TCM, diagnosis involves not only your symptoms, but an analysis of the tongue and pulse. The tongue is a map to your body and provides a wealth of information to help guide treatment plans. We look at the size and shape of your tongue, the colour of the tongue, along with the tongue coating, to assess your internal constitution. We like to look at the tongue each week to gauge how your body is responding to the treatments. Feel free to ask your acupuncturist what they see to better understand your body!
