Even if you suck at relaxing, we’ll send you off for the “acu-nap” of your dreams.
Trust and confidence in an acupuncturist is ultimately what you are seeking.
We’re East Vancouver acupuncturists and local entrepreneurs devoted to creating a welcoming and healing space for YOU. We feel so lucky to be doing this work in the vibrant and diverse community of Hastings-Sunrise / East Village.
Working Hours
How do I prepare for my treatment? Be prepared
Fill out your Intake Form
When you book your appointment, we’ll send you a new INTAKE FORM to fill out. We’re looking for a good background picture of your current health concerns. Please take the time to fill out your intake with as much detail as possible. Then sign the INFORMED CONSENT form we are legally required to have this on file, so you gotta do it.
Fill out the COVID-19 screening
24 hours before your appointment, you’ll receive an EMAIL REMINDER for this MANDATORY SCREENING asking you about any signs or symptoms. We need to have your response before your appointment to be able to treat you.
Hot tips from our long time acu-napers
Optional items to bring — An eye mask, earplugs, or a book to read or listen to once your needles are in.
Wear a MASK
Everyone in the clinic is masked for safety, so put yours on before you step inside. It can be a scarf, bandana, medical-grade or other face covering. Just be sure it’s comfortably secured so you won’t have to fuss with it but it must stay over both your nose and mouth during your treatment.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing
Skinny jeans make for awkward (or impossible) needling! To work our magic, we need easy access to your lower arms and legs, so please show up in loose, comfy clothes or bring a pair of loose pants to change into. Or just wear your jammies, because every day is PJ day at The Village!
Dress warm and bring a blanket
We can no longer supply blankets, so wear some cozy layers and bring a warm blanket to snuggle up with. In cool weather, chilly winds blow in when our front door is opened, and it’s easy to get chilled during an acu-nap.
We promise you’ll feel
BETTER after seeing us
No one ever leaves our clinic saying “geesh, I wish I hadn’t done THAT.”
