Six Degrees Clinic Circa March 2020.
I have practiced acupuncture for the last 20 years and worked as a community acupuncturist for the last 13 years. I am the owner of Six Degrees Community Acupuncture - The first community acupuncture centre in Canada. I started it because I wanted lots and lots of people to experience Acupuncture treatment, with a Chinese medicine approach to understanding our body and health. Over the years, I have witnessed many people heal and transform themselves.
I want to offer this possibility to you. I want you to have the opportunity for change. To feel better in your body. Whether you want a small or big change in your life, acupuncture treatment can help. Acupuncture treatment is a way to experience our body in a different way. Coming in with a headache and then leaving without one, or a little less of one, is an example of change. Change can also mean big transformative experiences in our outlook on life. It can support us to make global changes in our life and be more of who we really are. It also means getting support to continue to do the things that work for us. It can help us get back on track. Rebalance, refocus and realign our body, mind, and spirit.
I offer a special Acupuncture Spinal Alignment Treatment. Utilizing broader options within Chinese Medicine, I incorporate Acupuncture, cupping, moxa, spinal alignment assessment to relieve pain and correct spinal/hip/shoulder alignment. This realignment is good for aches and pains in joints and muscles, and is also effective with treating organ imbalance. When we are in better alignment our internal organs function optimally, thus reducing illness and discomfort. This option is still covered by benefits plans that cover acupuncture.
Also, I have learned much in the way of how trauma and stress are expressed through physical, emotional and spiritual pain. I believe acupuncture to be an effective treatment for healing by restoring balance to emotions, organs and vital energy.
