Supporting you to heal from within
Acupuncture | Gua Sha and Facial Wellness | Cupping | Herbal Medicine | Pregnancy and Labour Support
I work with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapies to help you regain balance and come into a greater sense of health and well being.
Acupuncture
Initial Session: $140
Subsequent Session: $120
Acupuncture is a natural, effective and safe therapy that has stood the test of time for thousands of years. The goal of acupuncture is to establish a healthy balance—known as homeostasis—within your body. This occurs by stimulating your body’s self-healing abilities and regulating your various internal systems that the body relies on. As you are guided into balance, you’ll begin to experience more vibrant health—physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Results can be both immediate or take some time. Each session works cumulatively on previous sessions.
Gua sha and facial wellness
GUA SHA and Facial Acupuncture session: $140
A natural way to reduce fine lines and brighten the complexion, gua sha is a gentle stone massage used to help gently revive the face, reduce inflammation, and drain toxins from the tissue. This treatment incorporates acupuncture points to increase blood flow, collagen and elastin, and is a lovely act of self care, proactive age care, and overall facial wellness. Best and longer lasting results are seen with regular sessions booked close to one another, such as twice a week for five weeks. However, facial wellness sessions are also great for whenever you need to set aside some extra self care time. The results are both immediate and cumulative.
Cupping
Cupping sessions are always used in conjunction with an acupuncture session.
Initial Session: $140
Subsequent Session: $120
Often used in addition to other treatments, cupping works well in combination with acupuncture as it complements the action of needling. As a form of myofascial decompression, cupping helps to decompress your muscles and fascial tissue, creating space for increased blood flow and tissue healing. This can be an effective treatment for soreness, tension and pain relief. It’s also a great tool that is used to help clear the lungs from excess phlegm throughout colds, allergies, or asthma by stimulating the lungs. The results are both immediate and cumulative.
Acupuncture and herbal Medicine
Initial Session: $140
Subsequent Session: $120
For over 2,000 years, herbal medicine has been used in conjunction with acupuncture—and both practices are at the core of TCM. In an acupuncture and herbal medicine session, these modalities are combined to help you on your healing journey. For best results, herbal medicines should be taken over a longer period of time, as we will discuss in your session.
Once you’ve had your initial session of acupuncture and herbal medicine, continue booking under subsequent acupuncture visits to continue with treatments. Our discussion of herbal medicine will then continue into the subsequent sessions. Please note, the herbal medicine is not included in the price.
Pregnancy and labour support
Initial Session: $140
Subsequent Session: $120
Supportive pregnancy acupuncture is a safe, natural, and effective way to support yourself throughout your journey to becoming a mother. From conception until birth, it helps ensure that you and baby have a smooth pregnancy. Plus, acupuncture offers a natural alternative to treating ailments that may present themselves; it's known to help relieve a variety of pregnancy-related symptoms in hopes of having a more comfortable pregnancy.
Beginning at 35 weeks, cervical ripening sessions can begin on a weekly basis to help prepare for labour in the coming weeks. These sessions are gentle and supportive, and often help bring calm and ease into the later weeks of pregnancy. For women who are 39 to 40 weeks pregnant, labour induction support can be used to help aid the body in transitioning into labour. These sessions are gentle and will only help induce pregnancy if both your body and the baby are ready. For best results, it’s recommended to come in for sessions regularly—either daily or a couple of times a week. If it’s your first time seeing me, please book an initial visit first to ensure that proper intake forms are filled out and let me know that you’re looking for pregnancy or labour support.
