"Christina has helped me take steps from just talking about 'self-care' into an actual reality. Her capacity to instantly create a calm, safe environment offers an oasis in an otherwise very busy day. I had the pleasure (really, it was a pleasure) to experience my first Facial Acupuncture recently at Acubalance and I will be returning for more treatments very soon. It was so nice to really relax and receive such gentle, replenishing,...

Hello everyone. I was asked to share my story so others could learn about some of the non mainstream treatment options to help with fertility.

If you’ve ever had chronic knee pain, you will appreciate this. I have suffered from chronic knee pain for a number of years and it finally got to the point where I needed to do something about it.

LLLT: After a Couple of Sessions My Shoulder Was Healed
Last summer, I went to the Philippines and partook on surfing activities. After the trip, my right shoulder began to hurt from muscle strain.

My Body, Baby, and Birth were Smoother and Healthier
I began seeing Kat for acupuncture treatments during the final trimester of my pregnancy. My intention was to support my physical health as I prepared my body for birth, but with Kat, I got so much more.

Told Not Likely to Conceive Until I Tried Laser Acupuncture For Fertility
After being told by my Vancouver IVF clinic that it was very unlikely I would ever conceive, that I had low egg reserve, and that they couldn't help us with any fertility assistance, I found myself awfully saddened and distraught by the news. Then I found Acubalance. Not only was I welcomed with warm hearts and caring voices, I felt like someone was listening and was not only wanting to help but as Kathleen said, ready to cheer me on!
