Facial Massage! 💆‍♀️ When you come in for an acupuncture appointment with me it’s highly likely that you will be offered a facial massage. This adjunct therapy is aligned with your treatment plan and tuned in to our shared goal of having you leave feeling better than when you came in.

Our faces are the home of the beginning or end of 6 meridians, lines on and in the body where Qi is flowing. Facial massage can soothing and relaxing, a balm to our nervous systems and an effective way to move stagnation that causes pain and other symptoms.

☯️ things I want you to know:

🌻 I will always ask first and check in throughout your treatment! If touch isn’t your thing, I will never push you to try tuina (acupressure massage) or any kind of massage in my treatment room.

🌾 In the same way, if you book an appointment and arrive feeling like needling isn’t for you right now, massage, gua sha or cupping are going to be offered to you to make sure that your needs are met and that we are working toward your goals. I say it all the time:

✨ with Traditional East Asian Medicine, there is always more than one way to approach a pattern and support your health journey! ✨

🌞 You can prepare for facial massage by applying minimal or no makeup before your appointment. If you forget or are coming from/going to something else and have makeup on that’s fine! We can make decisions dynamically, together.

🌼 You are invited and encouraged to let me know what you are feeling about massage, acupuncture and the other treatment modalities I use. I am humbly offering this medicine for you! Your comfort and feelings are deeply important, and your consent can be dynamic, changing from treatment to treatment or within one session.

Have you ever had facial massage or other Tuina treatments? What did you think? How did you feel? I want to hear about your experience and thoughts!

🥰

Always pleased to say: I have available appointments in Moose Jaw over the next two weeks for acupuncture, acupressure massage (tuina), Gua Sha and Fire Cupping.

If you’ve never tried acupuncture before, I would love for you to consider adding this safe, effective and relaxing medicine to your self-care routine.

Acupuncture is beneficial in so many contexts and for managing many types of symptoms including: recovery from injury; managing chronic and acute pain; seasonal allergies; migraines and digestive issues; stress and sleep support; recovery from viral or bacterial infections; healthy aging; supporting mental and emotional wellbeing; hormonal balance including fertility support in any body, menopause support and menstrual health support for issues ranging from period pain, PMDD and PCOS to endometriosis.

Send me a message if you are wondering if Acupuncture is right for you or use the link in my profile to book with me. ❤️

There’s one aspect of the ebb and flow of my acupuncture practice that means something lovely: people are feeling better and getting to where they want to be! 🥹

In Bridgewater the last few weeks I’ve had the absolute privilege to support people who have become pregnant; given birth; recovered from injury; managed digestive conditions; decreased the frequency and intensity of migraines (2 folks down to NO migraines!); managed symptoms of stress; sorted out period pain and hormonal changes; and built the balance they need in the bodies to feel strong and regulated.

When someone comes in for their first appointment with me, I will usually have a good sense of how many treatments it will take to see substantial improvement and at what level of frequency they can expect to come in. We check in on our treatment plan and how things are going each time they come in and adjust accordingly - with the goal to moving toward (usually) less frequent wellness or maintenance treatments once they are feeling better.

I offer direct billing to most insurance providers at my practice in Bridgewater as well as a sliding scale for low waged, underinsured and uninsured folks. 💚

SO check out my booking calendar! Or send me a message! I have time for you and energy for you with open weekday and some weekend appointments this month and humbly offer this beautiful medicine.

Neurodivergent-friendly acupuncture care … what does that mean? Many of us are feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, or just done. As an acupuncturist with ADHD, I get it.

In many ways, our world isn’t built to be comfortable for neurodivergent beings, but your care can be.

My practice is trauma-informed and treatments can be designed to support folks navigating ADHD, autism, sensory sensitivity, anxiety, and burnout along with chronic physical symptoms often present in neurodiverse folks—whether you’re exploring a new diagnosis, adjusting to meds, or just trying to build a softer, more sustainable life, I’ve got you and so does this ancient traditional medicine.

Acupuncture appointments with me are designed for each individual that comes through my door; that includes you, as you are.

Auricular (ear) acupuncture, TCM acupuncture, and other gentle therapies that I offer can help regulate your nervous system, improve focus, ease overwhelm, and support deep rest. No pressure, no judgment—just care that meets you where you are.

If this resonates, reach out. You deserve care that truly considers *you.*

Now Booking Acupuncture Appointments for March!

Hello, Moose Jaw! I’m Michelle Engel, R.Ac., a registered acupuncturist at Main Street Naturopathic Clinic, and I’m so happy to be offering gentle, effective, and deeply restorative acupuncture treatments to support your health and well-being.

Acupuncture is a holistic, time-tested therapy that helps your body heal naturally. Whether you’re dealing with chronic or acute pain, sleep disturbances, metabolic concerns, stress, or skin conditions, each treatment is thoughtfully tailored to your unique needs using the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Treatments are gentle, relaxing, and highly effective—many people feel a sense of deep calm and renewal during and after their session. And if you're not comfortable with needles, I also offer non-needling options to ensure you receive the benefits in a way that works for you.

✨ I have appointments available in March! Acupuncture is also billable to many insurance providers, making it an accessible part of your wellness care.

If you're curious about how acupuncture can support you, I'd love to connect! Book your appointment by messaging me here or visiting my website: www.mengelacupuncture.com.

I look forward to seeing you soon and helping you feel your best!

I felt some of the earliest spring time energy welling up in me this morning and made some changes to the way it looks when you book an appointment with me in Bridgewater!

I’ve added a standalone Auricular (ear) acupuncture and/or seeding treatment option; a Cosmetic acupuncture treatment option and a Tuina or Acupressure Massage treatment option so that you can have more clarity when you book and to make it as easy as possible to ask for what you need.

I have also added information about direct billing and my sliding scale payment options for those who are uninsured or underinsured and in need of an adjustment to costs.

It’s this: if you are underinsured or uninsured and have difficulty meeting your basic needs for food, shelter and rest I offer a sliding scale of fees of 75%, 50% or 25% or the regular appointment fee. When you receive your confirmation email there are simple instructions for a low-barrier way to you to let me know what to invoice so there’s no need to discuss it, though of course I welcome questions about this if you have them!

I’m so grateful for each of you and to be able to practice this medicine in our communities. Thank you! 🥰
