acupuncture + TCM

Restore balance through the holistic healing powers of acupuncture + TCM

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient healing practice that encompasses various modalities aimed at restoring balance within the meridians (or inner pathways) of the body. Acupuncture is at the centre of TCM, as it stimulates specific “points” that are connected to meridians which regulate the flow of Qi and blood throughout the body. In addition to acupuncture, TCM sessions may also include fire cupping, moxibustion, Tuina (massage), Gua Sha, and auricular therapy. TCM treatments start with an initial consultation where the practitioner assesses you to create an individualized treatment plan to support optimal wellbeing.
