Initial Acupuncture Appointment:

Acupuncture is used to treat a variety of ailments and conditions. From physical pain due to injury, all the way through to infertility and digestive disorders. 
Your first visit is where we will discuss your treatment plan and goals, followed by a treatment. During this visit, needles can be placed in the head, face, ears and body. 
Please keep in mind, the more chronic a condition, the longer it can take to resolve. Diet, Lifestyle and Constitution always come into play in your healing and recovery as well.

How does it work...
Acupuncture helps by stimulating the CNS (central nervous system) to release endorphins (the body's natural pain-killer), and serotonin (a brain chemical involved with mood).
Acupuncture boosts the body's own ability to heal via specific points on the channels (Meridians). These points stimulate something known as Qi (pronounced 'chi'), which is the body's Life Force. 
These biochemical changes in the body can help stimulate your natural healing abilities and promote both physical and emotional well-being.

Initial Acupuncture Treatment

Follow-up visits are roughly 40 minutes long and can only be booked once you have had your Initial Assessment.

Follow-up Acupuncture Treatment

90 minute Acupuncture Sessions are for those who prefer extra time on needle or would like a treatment on both the front and back of the body.
This length of time is not recommended for those new to Acupuncture.

Extended Follow-up Acupuncture Treatment

What is Diastasis recti?
It's a condition where the two halves of the rectus abdominis muscle (the "six-pack" muscles) separate along the midline of the abdomen. This separation occurs due to the stretching or weakening of the connective tissue (the linea alba) that holds these muscles together. It commonly happens during pregnancy, as the growing uterus puts pressure on the abdominal muscles, but it can also occur in men and non-pregnant women, particularly due to factors like obesity, heavy lifting, or certain exercises.

How can Acupuncture help?
Acupuncture stimulates circulation and promotes the flow of blood and energy (qi) throughout the body. By improving blood flow to the abdominal area, acupuncture supports the healing process of tissues and muscles, including the connective tissue (linea alba) that has been stretched or weakened in diastasis recti.

During each session, needles are applied directly to the abdominal area along with an Infrared Heat Lamp. At the end of each session, athletic tape is applied to the abdomen to reinforce and support the muscles as they work to come back together. 

Every person is different and healing time can vary based on your age, level of activity and frequency of treatments. If you have any questions, please email with any enquiries you have.

Acupuncture for Diastasis Recti (Abdominal Separation)

Cupping Therapy:

Cupping works by using suction to separating the layers of connective tissue and release the muscles (kind of like a deep tissue massage but in reverse). This action allows for healthy oxygen rich blood to flow to the restricted area, promoting and speeding up the healing process.  
Cupping can have an almost immediate effect, that's why it's great all on its own, or in combination with other therapies. 

Wonder what those cupping marks are???

Those red marks you commonly see on people are the result of stagnant fluid (toxins, blood, lymphatic fluid) being pulled out! The darker the marks, the more stagnation. These marks generally last anywhere from a few hours to a couple weeks, but the more often you receive cupping therapy, the lighter the marks will be (due to less stagnation).

Cupping Therapy

Cosmetic Acupuncture is for the treatment of Acne, Wrinkles, Scars, Puffiness, Lackluster and so on. It increases circulation to the face, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin to smooth and tighten the face. 
Cosmetic acupuncture follows the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, using the meridians in the body that either end or begin in the face to stimulate and balance energy, while also treating the underlying factors that contribute to the aging process. It's the ultimate anti-aging treatment because it balances our internal systems while simultaneously boosting the health and appearance of the skin.
Needles are placed in the face, ears and body.
For best results, sessions should be once a week for 8 to 12 weeks, with noticeable results around the 5th session.
