Someone recently asked me about the life of an acupuncturist, and you know what? I had a blast spilling the beans! Why do I adore this gig so much? It’s simple. I get to weave together laughter, tears, sweat, and even a touch of colourful language, all in the pursuit of healing. It’s not just the job […]
Lately, I’ve been fixated on my hands, scrutinizing every sunspot and wrinkle that’s making its grand entrance. It’s a strange obsession, I know, but hey, we all love a little quirkiness, right? So, this month, my sun advice takes you on a delightful detour from the usual zinc oxide. Brace yourselves for a playful journey where sun protection […]
If you are seeking acupuncture for pain, reproductive health, and mental wellbeing. I see you and I’m here to help. Acupuncture is a gentle and effective way to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and improve overall mental wellbeing. What I know for sure is that we can only change ourselves, so we owe it to our […]
Mental-health issues come in all shapes and sizes. This May I want to talk to a specific group of people: MOMS, aka momma, mum, mommy, ma, mmm or, my new personal favourite, Brahhh! Being a mom-brah means everything to me. As of this May, I’ve been a mom for 10 years, with all its accompanying ups and […]
This month we are diving into allergies. Oh, allergies, I love the flowers and the season change, but some of us pay a horrible price. Since I practice a form of acupuncture called the Balance Method, I am uniquely positioned to encourage the body’s healing mechanisms long before an allergen shows up. This requires us […]
We join the ranks of a few other clinics in this beautiful city we call home. We honour that we live and work on the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We’ve been ranked by The Best Vancouver, falling neatly on the list at #6. Finding out that someone […]
Well, we are officially seven, and I’m not going to lie: There have been a LOT of headaches along the way. As for our birthday celebrations, I’ll be quietly reflecting on the past seven years in my happy place, on the beach and in the sun. In seven years, The Village has seen a lot of change, and it doesn’t […]
I cut my teeth on headaches and migraines when I first started my practice. I’ll never forget my first migraine patient. I still see her to this day, almost 12 years later, not for migraines any more, but for maintenance. She came to me reluctantly, after I’d been treating her husband for a few months. He […]
Jason Rautenberg June 11, 1973 – January 12, 2022. Thank you for being here today. The word of my brother’s passing landed pretty heavy on me on January 12th, 2022. My brother, Jason, 48 years old, is gone. Here’s what I know for sure. He didn’t stand at the gates to heaven, patiently waiting. He […]
If I had a dime for everytime someone told me that they needed more sleep, I’d have a lot of dimes! I’ve been asked so many times in the past month: Do you set goals, intentions, resolutions, etc? Yes, I do. I review my year and roll out some things to guide me. For 2023, it’s […]
