Acupuncture Treatments & Health Consultation
ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is the insertion of fine sterile and surgical grade needles, no thicker than a human hair, along specific points on the body. This has powerful effects on circulation, hormones, the nervous system and pain responses.
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is a cosmetic treatment that stimulates collagen production in the face. It has anti-aging effects as it breaks up scar tissues, relaxes wrinkles and rejuvenates and brightens the skin.
tcm HEALTH CONSULTATION
Health consultations are a thorough and personalized assessment of one's health through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This includes several diagnostic and evaluative methods, as well as a full treatment plan.
No-Needle Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatments
CUPPING
Cupping is the use of sterile glass or plastic cups as a type of vacuum/suction therapy. It has a powerful effect of releasing myofascial adhesions and muscle knots. Popular sports injury treatment with athletes.
tui na (acupressure)
Tui Na is a traditional Chinese massage and physical therapy that treats the muscles, meridians and acupoints without the use of needles. Tui na can be used to treat internal organ problems as well as musculoskeletal issues.
moxa (moxibustion)
Moxibustion is the burning of the medicinal herb mugwort along meridian points on the body. A tradition older even than acupuncture, it has a warming effect that stimulates the nerves and healing endorphins in the body.
tei shin
Tei Shin is a needleless treatment that uses titanium, copper, gold or silver instruments to activate healing. It is incredibly gentle and therefore recommended for children or individuals who are more sensitive.
Gua Sha
Similar to cupping, and often used together, Gua Sha is a painless scraping therapy using a sterile jade or plastic tool. Gua sha is an effective treatment for muscle pain as it can break down scar tissue, fascia adhesions and improve circulation.
electrostimulation
Electrostimulation is a technique that uses microcurrent technologies, rather than needles, to stimulate points on the body. This process achieves the same results as acupuncture and is often recommended for children.

How Does TCM Diagnosis Work?
Curious about how Traditional Chinese Medicine arrives at a diagnosis? Below are three diagnostic assessment methods that may be used during your initial consultation and throughout treatments to best determine what your body needs. These methods are incredibly accurate in assessing what the cause(s) of your health problems and the best approach for effective treatment.
TONGUE diagnosis
The tongue is a virtual map of the body. Nuances in its appearance can alert to internal imbalances and areas that require particular attention. The colour, shape, coating and appearance all indicate important information about your health.
palpation
Using light pressure at specific points, your practitioner gathers important information about your body's imbalances. These are called reflex zones - specific points on the body that tell us which meridians, organs, tissues or muscles are affected.
pulse diagnosis
The wrist pulses have been used for thousands of years in Asian traditional medicine to assess how the different organ systems of the body are functioning. Imbalances can be clearly detected through the pulse making diagnosis, treatment and results better.
