Hello, my name is Renee Warner and I am thrilled to be joining the amazing team at Acubalance. I am a Registered Nurse with many years experience in the area of women’s health and midwifery. I am passionate about my work and am very pleased to offer some very specific and powerful bodywork techniques that can help with a variety of health issues.

I have a question: Why is it so easy for people (myself included) to dedicate extra time to absolutely anything except sleep?

Starting April 1st, 2019, ICBC will now start covering 12 preauthorized acupuncture treatments within 12 weeks of a car accident as per the Insurance (Vehicle) Act.

From the beginning of time, I feel that women have borne the burden and blame of miscarriages. New research however, is finally shedding light on the important role of sperm in leading to a healthy pregnancy, and conversely, to miscarriage.  

It’s winter time. And in Vancouver, that means not seeing the sun for nearly 6 months straight. It’s also the time where people start talking about SAD, or Seasonal Affective Disorder, more openly. So I’d like to take advantage of this time of openness to discuss depression in more detail, and the possible signs and symptoms your body may be trying to communicate to you.

I had an enlightening discussion with a fellow naturopathic physician the other day that got me thinking about the phrase less is more. She and I were out for a friendly chat over a glass of wine and (of course) the discussion turned to our practices and patients.

As an acupuncturist who works in women’s health, I encounter a question almost daily: ”Am I broken? Is there something WRONG with me?” Sometimes it is spoken. Most of the time though, women suffer with this feeling of inadequacy and suffering silently.
