My Approach
evidence-based, patient-centred care
A rigorous Traditional Chinese Medicine framework is used for assessing conditions, combined with Japanese Hara diagnosis where appropriate.
​
Acupuncture treatment involves an extremely gentle, safe, and effective Japanese technique, with very shallow insertion and minimal manipulation. Acuworks uses only the finest quality, finest gauge, single-use needles. Most patients don't feel anything at all on insertion.
​
-
Your treatments will always be one-on-one, and you will always have my full attention. Acuworks does not treat multiple patients in the same time slot.
-
You will receive both a front and a back treatment on each visit, as well as moxibustion.
-
Cupping and acu-pressure are used when indicated, at no additional cost.

In addition to advanced training in Chinese Medicine gynecology, I received over 5 years of post-graduate training in acupuncture techniques for fertility, IVF and IUI support, and menstrual regulation from Dr. Tim Tanaka while working at Pacific Wellness Institute, rated no. 1 for fertility in Toronto, and an international destination clinic (now closed). Treatment is closely geared to supporting the cycle, to regulate imbalances impacting the proper functioning of your cycle, thereby promoting optimal IVF/IUI outcomes.
