Acupuncture is a gentle, evidence informed approach that treats both symptoms and underlying patterns in the body. Treatments may support a wide range of concerns including chronic pain, fertility, stress, headaches, digestion, hormonal health, injury recovery, and more.

“Acupuncture can be incredibly effective for managing chronic pain related to muscle tension, injuries, and ongoing conditions. Treatments help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing processes while also promoting relaxation and ease.”
— Sue Anstey, R.Ac, R.TCMP

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, winter is a season for rest and reflection. Just as nature slows down, we also benefit from moving more intentionally during this time. Here are a few simple habits that can help you start the year with ease:
• Prioritize rest and consistent sleep routines
• Stay warm, especially the neck, low back, and feet
• Enjoy warm, cooked meals like soups and teas
• Allow time to slow down, reflect, and recharge
• Practice gentle movement to keep blood flowing
Small seasonal shifts like these can go a long way in supporting your wellbeing through the winter months.

1. What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a gentle approach to care that provides immediate symptom relief for everything from a common cold,to long term complex injuries and illnesses. In recent years, Acupuncture has been studied extensively in the areas of chronic pain and fertility with overwhelmingly positive outcomes. Other issues like headaches, insomnia, period pain, anxiety, and inflammation have also been shown to improve with regular Acupuncture Treatments. Acupuncture is now supported by evidence-based Western
standards and recognized as both art and science!

2. What does it do?
Using needles that are thinner than a strand of hair, Acupuncture increases blood and lymph flow, supports the immune system, regulates the nervous system, and relaxes connective tissue – this has an immediate positive impact on the body’s ability to heal.

3. Does it hurt?
A slight pinch, or nothing at all, is sometimes felt followed by an immediate sense of relaxation.

4. What are the needles doing? How do you know where to put them?
Acupuncture points are located along fascial lines which are connected to the nervous system and linked to muscles and organs. When a needle is placed into one of these points, it releases tension along that fascial line, improves circulation, reduces pain, and
boosts hormone function.

5. Which conditions are treated?
With five thousand years of tradition, you’d have a hard time finding a condition Acupuncture doesn’t treat!
Here are just some of the conditions that can benefit from Acupuncture: anxiety, burnout, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, digestive concerns, fibromyalgia and nerve pain,
headaches and concussion, inflammation, acute injuries, infertility, insomnia, migraines, muscle pain, osteoarthritis, period pain (Endometriosis & PCOS), pelvic pain, sciatica, and TMJ.
