We’re back!

Although much of our staff worked through the holidays to better accommodate our patients, we did take a much needed social media break. We are coming back with more inspiration than ever! We want to bring you the best in seasonal tips, exploring health through the magical lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine & getting to know us as a team & local business.

We are about a month away from the Lunar New Year, when we will transition from the Wood Snake to the passionate, energetic, galloping Fire Horse of 2026! Wow!!!

Before we welcome (or are bowled over) by this energy, let’s take a moment to honour where we are now. This last month is the Tail of the Snake. We have all officially outgrown our past selves, shedding our skin and preparing to leave it behind. Do you feel a change? Did you embrace the transformation? Have you let go of the old limits that no longer serve you?

You still have time to shift. This month is a great time to take stock of what you want to release. Letting go of these old beliefs & habits & versions of yourself can be challenging, but what awaits you is the freshness of a new skin. This is how you want to walk into the Fire year. This is how you’ll be able to access, harness & focus all the raw potential that is available to us.

Use this month for healing, introspection, self-compassion & getting clear about where you want to focus your energies this year. And then buckle up! There is joy, fulfilment, vitality & wildness on the way for each of us.

Let us know in the comments what you were finally able to let go of in the Snake year so we can all acknowledge and celebrate it!

Did you know there are absolutely no fluorescent or overhead lights in our clinic?

It all started with one of our practitioners, who had a history of migraines induced by bright & blue spectrum lighting. Initially we replaced all the overheads with full-spectrum bulbs to mimic natural sunlight, but their sensitivities continued. Then we switched to offering Sensory Sensitive hours lit exclusively with lamps when we realized, this is the way to be all the time!

Our space is now even cozier, even warmer, even more welcoming than before. The treatment rooms have two lamps each & the reception area has a floor lamp & special pot lights to illuminate pathways to rooms. No more harsh glare!

So if you or a loved one experiences sensory sensitivities, from light-induced migraines, ADHD, neurodiversity, Sensory Processing Disorder or are post-concussion, we invite you to come in & experience the difference.

Even if you're someone who gets anxious in institutional or medical environments, this could really help. Everyone benefits!

Come in & witness the calm. Your eyes & your nervous system will thank you.

Can you believe it!?

We are launching the first of many clinical Case Studies with the unbelievable results of a course of Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture.

With permission granted by the patient, here she is in May 2025 and then again in August 2025 after 12 weekly treatments of Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture.

This patient responded very well to the treatments. Not everyone has the same results, as consistent treatments are a definite key to success. Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture works by encouraging collagen repair, softening fine lines & wrinkles, relaxing tense muscles, promoting a smooth & bright complexion & tightening sagging skin.

In addition to weekly Acupuncture, this patient also adopted a daily skin & health care plan that supported these results by:

💧Hydrating every day
🥑 Eating clean: keeping preservatives, carbs, sugars and late night snacking to a minimum
💤 Going to bed early
🌳 Getting regular fresh air by taking light walks outside
🔴 Using regular red light therapy
🧴 Applying a good quality face cream daily

The skin is a reflection of our internal health, so each of our cosmetic Acupuncture sessions are paired with a full body-health Acupuncture treatment that is customized to your individual health needs. These involve Acupuncture points that encourage the blood to build collagen that feeds the skin & repairs damage. During your first visit we will do a full evaluation & determine the best treatment plan that fits you & your health & beauty goals.

Curious? You can schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation with one of our licensed Acupuncturists now to see if this is right for you. Call us at 613-702-5377 or book online on our website (see link in bio).

Holiday gift cards are also available: give the gift of natural beauty & healthy skin to your family & friends!

When your hips hurt, it’s more than just physical pain—it affects everything. Sitting, standing, walking—it all feels harder.

That’s when you realize you’re living with a limitation, not just discomfort.

You might already know:
● Arthritis can cause stiffness and pain in the hip joint.
● Bursitis causes inflammation in the fluid-filled sacs around your hip.
● Tendonitis causes pain from overuse and strain.

I know it can feel like you’re just stuck—but it doesn’t have to be that way.

I had a patient, Michael, who could barely walk without feeling his hips lock up. After acupuncture, he started feeling freer—able to walk without pain and even get back to his hiking routine.

Acupuncture helps to reduce inflammation, increase blood flow, and restore natural movement in the hip.

Myth: Long Covid is something you just have to live with.
Fact: You can start feeling like yourself again with the right treatment.

Long Covid isn’t just about fatigue and brain fog—it can affect your body and mind in ways that leave you feeling stuck. But here’s the truth: Acupuncture can help reset your body by reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and restoring your energy.

The longer you wait to treat your Long Covid symptoms, the more you’ll continue to feel drained. You don’t have to live in that fog anymore. It’s time to start feeling like yourself again—and it starts now.

If you’ve ever had restless legs, you know it’s more than just an inconvenience—it’s a nightmare.

The need to move, the constant irritation, and the exhaustion the next day. It feels like your body’s betraying you.

What I hear from my patients:
● The irresistible urge to move your legs, especially at night.
● The tingling and restlessness that keeps you from falling asleep.

I’ve had patients like Linda, who struggled with this for months—and after acupuncture, she felt her legs finally relax. She began sleeping better, felt less tired, and was able to enjoy the evenings without that restless urge.

You don’t have to struggle with this. DM me or tap the link in bio to book your free 15-minute consultation and take back your peaceful nights.

If you’re dealing with ulcerative colitis, you know exactly how much it impacts your daily life.

The constant discomfort, the uncertainty of when your symptoms will flare up again—it feels like your body is constantly betraying you. You just want your digestive system to function normally, without all the bloating, pain, and embarrassment that comes with it.

Acupuncture works by restoring balance to your digestive system, helping your body calm the inflammation that’s causing the chaos. It’s not about masking symptoms—it’s about healing.

Over a series of treatments, acupuncture can help normalize your gut function, reduce discomfort, and bring lasting relief. You don’t have to keep living in fear of the next flare-up. You can get back to enjoying food and life without constantly worrying about what’s going on in your gut.

Ready to take control of your digestive health? Click here to book your free consultation, and let’s get your gut back on track this fall.

Here’s the truth: You can’t rush healing.

There’s no magic pill, no shortcut, no “quick fix” that’s going to help you feel better tomorrow and forever.

Acupuncture is about long-term healing, not short-term solutions. It’s about giving your body the tools it needs to function properly, in its own time, with its own pace. We’re restoring balance, reducing inflammation, and giving your body the opportunity to heal from the inside out.

What I see in my patients who stick with acupuncture is this: true change. It’s not dramatic, it’s not instant, but it’s real and it works. And once your body starts to remember how to function properly, you’ll start noticing things like:
● More energy
● Better sleep
● Less pain that was a constant before

I’m here to offer you the space to let your body heal itself, not just a bandaid.

If you’re tired of quick fixes and ready for real transformation, let’s do this.

DM me or tap the link in bio to book your free 15-minute consultation and let’s start the real work.
