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.

✨Happy Birthday to our co-founder Amelia!✨

She is the calm and steady current that keeps Opal grounded and glowing. Her kindness, empathy, and gentle strength shine through in everything she does — from the way she supports our team to the creativity and care she pours into every detail.

Amelia, your leadership, heart, and artistry inspire us all. Thank you for being such a beautiful part of this space, and for the way you make everyone around you feel seen, supported, and at ease.

Here’s to another year of growth, creativity, and joy, we’re so lucky to walk this path with you 💫

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.

We have a few practitioners who are in the process of becoming licensed in their fields. As they await full registration they are offering their services at reduced rates.

Counselling with Nicola Spencer – low-cost sessions for individuals and couples as she completes her registration to become a Registered Clinical Counsellor.

Massage Therapy with Casandra Stephens & Sam Pascoe – therapeutic massage treatments at reduced rates while they prepare for RMT licensure later this fall.

Please note: because these practitioners are not yet fully registered, their sessions are generally not covered by most insurance plans.

We’re so excited to introduce Cedra Woods, Craniosacral Therapist, to the Opal Wellness team!

Cedra brings a deeply intuitive and compassionate approach to her practice, offering Craniosacral Therapy, Somato-Emotional Release (Trauma Imprint Repair), and Visceral Manipulation. With a focus on Biodynamic techniques, she tailors each session to the individual, supporting the body in its own natural capacity to heal.

Her work is especially supportive for sensitive individuals and those experiencing nervous system dysregulation. Cedra helps clients move through a wide range of concerns—from stress, anxiety, trauma, and hormonal imbalance to chronic pain, headaches, sleep disorders, and more—creating space for healing on all levels: mind, body, and spirit.

Outside of the clinic, you’ll find her foraging in the forest, plunging into rivers, or hiking with her rottie, Winston.

Availability:
〰 Tuesdays: 2:30–8:30pm
〰 Thursdays: 8:00am–2:00pm

Beginning September 23rd

We’re so excited to have Cedra sharing her passion and expertise with our community.
