1420 Alpha Lake Road suite #202 (shared with Whistler Myofascial Release).
Elevator or the stairs will take you to the second level where you will continue down the hall to #202.
Washrooms are just to the right of our entrance.
-
There is ample free parking right out front or behind the building (reserved spaces 11-30 are for us!)
-
24 hours. This gives me a chance to reschedule another patient in the place that was reserved for you.
Failure to give 24 hours notice will result in a cancellation fee.

No, we no longer submit insurance claims on your behalf.
You will receive a receipt after your treatment, which you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Most providers process claims and issue payment within 1–7 business days.
-
Treatments will generally last 30-45 minutes.
Some treatments may require a little more time, while others may be shorter. We focus on results over time in the session.

Most people start to feel a difference after their first session, but lasting change takes consistency. Your exact treatment plan will be tailored after an initial assessment, but here’s a general guide:
Mild or recent issues: noticeable progress in 4–6 sessions
Moderate or chronic concerns: typically 10–12 sessions
Severe or long-standing issues: may require up to 20 sessions
Treatment is always adjusted as we go. Your plan will evolve based on how your body responds.

I’m not going to be the acupuncturist saying you won’t feel a thing. You may feel a bit of a pinch when the needles go in, but this should ease right away and if not we can easily adjust to make you more comfortable.
A dull ache or heavy feeling is usually a good sign – a clue that the body is reacting in a productive way. You will be surprised by how quickly your body relaxes once your pins are in place!

Acupuncture works on a relaxation response causing a release of feel-good, pain-relieving endorphins and other biochemicals that promote relaxation, recovery and optimal function at a cellular level.

Acupuncture can help with a very wide range of conditions through its affect on the nervous system.
We focus on musculoskeletal conditions like pain, injury recovery, headaches, neropathies, neuological conditions, repetative strains, performance enhancement, stress management, recovery optimization and more.

Yes! Even if you're feeling fine, regular sessions help keep everything running smoothly. Think of it like maintenance for your car — It's all about staying in top shape and avoiding problems down the road.
A tune up every 4-6 weeks can be the key to maintaining good health by correcting imbalances before you start noticing you in your day to day.
