Hi Dr. K!

Months ago, I was forced to take medical leave from work for anxiety and depression. In my search for healing, I decided to try acupuncture for help with my addiction to sugar. 

Ever since I was a child, I easily became dizzy on car rides and boat rides. Over the past five years, I've noticed that condition worsening. I saw two different ear nose and throat specialist so, neither of whom could find anything that was functionally wrong. Even finding a diagnosis, let alone a solution, proved impossible because I did not have the typical motion sickness symptoms of queasy stomach and vomiting.

Doctor Brown and his team are true miracle workers! I felt very supported from the moment I started the laser and acupuncture treatments. All his doctors were very knowledgeable, trustworthy and extremely patient with me. I knew that I was in good hands from my very first visit.

Getting poked with needles? No thanks! That’s why I avoided acupuncture. Some find that funny, as I’m a Registered Nurse but as I always tell my patients, I don’t mind giving needles; I just don’t like to receive them! I was suffering from stage 4 Endometriosis and had also been diagnosed with Adenomyosis. The medications I had been prescribed were not working and I did not know what to try next. My cousin highly recommended Acubalance Wellness Centre so 3 years ago, I put my fear of needles aside and started coming here.

"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, professional skin care.  I am so used to putting things on top o

Acupuncture facial is the most relaxing and restorative facial ever! I had 12 sessions. Christina uses more needles as time goes on and depending on one's specific needs. After a few sessions, you can feel the blood flowing.

I’ve found the Immune Booster IV at TG’IV to be incredibly helpful. In the next few days after each one, I could feel the chest infection lifting out of my system, and I started to really get better. I think it’s because of these that I made a full recovery much faster than I expected. Many thanks to Kali and Acubalance!

Two years ago I developed an acute upper respiratory tract infection while travelling in China.  While there I was treated with antibiotics & when I returned home my family practitioner and subsequently an ear, nose and throat specialist prescribed 6 more courses of antibiotics over the next 18 months.  The “bug” was definitely persistent and unfortunately every 4 to 6 weeks I would become sick again and again with chronic bronchitis, sinus and ear infections.
