Membership Services

Acupuncture is a system of medicine based on the philosophies of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Through the insertion of extremely fine needles into the skin, acupuncture gently encourages the restoration of health and well-being.

Each session in our Acupuncture Clinic consists of a thorough health evaluation followed by a treatment consisting largely of acupuncture, but also including other therapies such as acupressure, massage, nutritional counselling and lifestyle advice.

Herbal Medicine (Phytotherapy) is the use of plant remedies in the treatment of illness and disease. Although it is arguably the oldest form of medicine in the world, with the advancement of modern science and thousands of years of empirical evidence, we now better understand chemical complexity of plants and their astonishing efficacy in remedying human ailments.

Each session in our Herbal Medicine (Phytotherapy) Clinic consists of a thorough health evaluation followed by the creation of a customized herbal prescription and possibly nutritional counselling and lifestyle advice. Patients have the option to purchase customized herbal remedies including teas, tinctures, creams and more.
