What to expect
Not what you've
probably imagined.
Acupuncture and herbal medicine are each complete disciplines — and they work most powerfully together. One addresses the body directly; the other continues working between sessions, sustaining and deepening the shift.
What people come for
Find your
starting point.
Acupuncture and herbal medicine together address a wide range of acute and chronic concerns. If yours isn't listed, reach out — most presentations are worth a conversation.
Don't see your concern? Text us — most presentations are treatable.
Your first visit
Simple, calm,
no surprises.
Tell us your name, what's going on, and whether you'd prefer in-person or virtual. No referral, no online portal — just a direct message. We reply within 24 hours.
We'll send a brief health history form. Completing it in advance means your full appointment time is spent on your clinical picture — not paperwork.
Pulse reading, tongue diagnosis, and a thorough conversation. You leave with a clear picture of your pattern and a written care plan — with a beginning, a middle, and an expected end point.
Acupuncture, a custom herbal formula, or both — depending on your clinical picture. You don't wait for a second appointment to start.
A written summary of your constitutional pattern and a care plan with a clear arc. Not an open-ended treatment series with no horizon in sight.
In-person sessions at our home clinic in Mono, Ontario. Virtual consultations available across Canada by arrangement. Two days per week, by appointment only.

Subject to HST · Not covered by extended health
Receipts: A receipt is issued for every service and herbal product provided. Provided at time of service for in-person visits; by email for remote orders. Retain your receipt for insurance submission. We provide receipts as a record of services rendered — insurance reimbursement is the sole responsibility of the patient.
Acupuncture is HST-exempt and may be eligible for extended health benefits where your plan covers Registered TCM Practitioners (R.TCMP / R.Ac). Coverage varies significantly between plans.
Herbal medicine is subject to HST and is generally not covered by extended health benefits. All herbal products are billed directly to the patient.
It is the patient's sole responsibility to confirm coverage before treatment. We provide services and herbal products as requested and issue a receipt for every transaction. We do not contact insurers, submit claims, pre-authorize treatment, or guarantee reimbursement of any kind.
Before your visit, please contact your insurer directly to confirm: (a) whether your plan covers a Registered TCM Practitioner (R.TCMP / R.Ac); (b) annual maximums and per-visit limits; (c) whether a physician referral is required by your plan; and (d) whether herbal medicine is included.
All fees are due in full at time of service regardless of insurance status. We do not direct-bill. Reimbursement, if applicable, is arranged by the patient using the receipt issued by this clinic.
