Holistic Healing Space Rooted in Vitality ꩜

Rooted in over thousands of years of healing philosophy, TCM focuses on balancing the flow of Qi (your vital life energy) to support your health and vitality. 

Your practitioner may use tongue and pulse assessment, thoughtful questioning and close attention to your body’s patterns to guide the care you receive.

What Is Traditional Chinese Medicine?

Treatment may include:

  • Acupuncture

  • Chinese herbal medicine

  • Cupping therapy

  • Tui na (Therapeutic Massage)

  • Moxibustion (Heat Therapy)

Acupuncture is the use of ultra-fine, sterile needles to stimulate specific points along the body’s meridian system. Far from painful, many people describe it as relaxing, even meditative.

What Is Acupuncture?

This therapy can support concerns such as:

  • Digestive discomfort

  • Hormonal imbalances

  • Muscle tension and joint pain

  • Sleep challenges and fatigue

  • Stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm

By working with the nervous system and promoting circulation, acupuncture encourages your body’s natural healing processes, offering both immediate relief and long-term support.

Your sessions are provided by a Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner (R.TCMP) and/or Registered Acupuncturist (R.Ac), regulated by the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario (CTCMPAO).

All therapies are evidence-informed, non-invasive and can be integrated with your existing health or wellness care plans.
