Allow me to introduce myself, especially to those of you who have never met me without my mask on! I am Aimee, the person putting in the pins. I like to approach my practice with knowledge and intuition. When treating my patients I consider body, mind, and spirit. I like to meet you where you are, and move at the pace you’re comfortable with. I’m always thinking of ways to continue to develop as a practitioner and as a person, there is always more to learn! So your feedbac...k is valuable! Thank you for choosing me as your Acupuncturist, and trusting me to help you. #acupuncturewithaimee #yeg #yegacupuncture #yegacupuncturist #thisisme #healthjourney #thankyouforchoosingme #townofdevon #devonab

I’m happy to share that acupuncture services will stay OPEN during these new restrictions. Acupuncture is essential for your mental, emotional, and physical well-being and I’m glad the government has recognized this. The governing body of Acupuncture of Alberta has come out with new restrictions to help reduce the chance of cross contamination between patients, limiting me to only see ONE PATIENT AT A TIME. ... I fully agree with these new restrictions, as it will keep both of us even safer. I was actually starting to feel guilty about running two rooms even with wearing proper PPE and following all of the cleaning procedures. So, many of you have been and will be contacted to change your appointment time. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as I try to navigate all of this in a timely manner. I am currently fully booked until the new year, thank you very much for your continued support. Please stay safe, stay kind, and know that we are all in this together. #acupuncturewithaimee #covid_19 #goingwiththeflow #grateful #staysafe #staykind

There is a saying in yoga, the posture you find the most uncomfortable, your body needs the most. Same can be said in acupuncture. The point you look forward to the least, your body needs the most. This for me folks, is Pericardium 6! This powerful point unbinds the chest, regulates Qi, regulates heart, calms the spirit, harmonizes stomach and alleviates nausea and vomiting, clears heat, and opens Yin linking vessel. Often used to help treat heart pain, palpitations, asthma,... anxiety, insomnia, mania. #acupuncturewithaimee #acupuncture #tcm #chinesemedicine #pericardiummeridian #pc6 #anxiety #nausea #insomnia #chest #calm #palpitations #angina

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY As most of you already have heard , we are again faced with a temporary shut down. Unlike Back in March , this time around we are somewha...t prepared for the closure, in the sense we have 4 days to prepare. So like the little elves we are , we are working hard to ensure we can get in a good portion of our clients that were booked for the remainder of this month, by Sunday . Any clients who had appointments for the remainder of this week can keep that time and day, anybody else booked beyond Monday of next week , if you haven’t already received a call for a new time this week we are doing our best to get ahold of you ..... for those of you we were unable to get in , we all apologize , and please know we did our best to accommodate you all, as we know most of you have had these appointments booked for months. Please note , Acupuncture will remain operational throughout this time. On that note , as difficult as it may be to once again to close our doors , I want to shout out to each and everyone of you for your community support in keeping us busy at work since we’ve reopened in July. Without your love and support during this difficult time, we would not have been able to remain open We are beyond grateful for you all, and if 2020 has taught us anything, it’s taught us about community support, helping a small business stay open, appreciation for each and every one of us, and respect WE WILL BE OK

~Welcome to the Gratitude Wall~ Focusing on the things I have to be grateful for in my life has helped shift my mindset from a place of worry to a place of reassurance.

Add your comment and we’ll add it to our wall!... #acupuncturewithaimee #gratitude #wecandohardthings #inthistogether #positivity #lookforthegood #communitylove #townofdevon #devonab

Fun fact: I have a love for yoga! I first started practicing yoga when I was in art school in 2006 and immediately fell in love. I had never experienced something that was so great at marrying my mind and body. Yoga has literally been the thing to help me through some of the hardest times in my life- traumas, injuries, pregnancies. I knew early on that I wanted to become a yoga teacher and I was eager to take my yoga teacher training in 2009. Teaching has offered me an oppor...tunity to learn so much more about myself and has allowed me to travel and teach all over the world. In fact, working at the yoga studio is where I was first introduced to acupuncture! #acupuncturewithaimee #yoga #yogateacher #yogi #pregnancyyoga #yegyoga #yegacupuncture #yegacupuncturist #devonab

Thank you to each and every person past and present for dedicating yourself to service, and for making the world a safer place. #remembranceday #remember #poppy #veteran #flandersfields

Does your immune system need a tune up? Wei Qi, also known as defensive Qi, is the bodies first barrier against external pathogens such as cold, wind, damp. In western terms it helps protect the body from germs, bacteria, and viruses. Acupuncture can help if you are prone to colds/infections, are feeling sluggish/lethargic, high prolonged stress (can weaken immunity). ... #acupuncture #tcm #weiqi #defensiveqi #immunityboost #immunesupport #immunesystem #coldseason #yeg #yegacupuncture #townofdevon #devonab

~ GUA SHA ~ Where there is stagnation, there is pain This glorious modality is great for increasing blood flow and improving circulation- thus great for reducing pain and tension. Much loved by my patients with chronic pain and inflammation.... Gliding a gua tool across the skin can create SHA- colouration of the skin. There is also meaning in the range of colours that arises after this technique- the darker, the more stagnation. Gua sha is also extremely beneficial for immunity boosting treatments. This technique is effective at removing pathogens from the surface of the body (wei Qi). Best for the times that you feel a chill coming on, or an ache in your neck at the beginning of a cold. #acupuncture #guasha #tcm #immunityboost #muscletension #painrelief #yegacupuncture #yeg #townofdevon #devonab #acupuncturewithaimee

~Autumn Equinox~ The best way to stay healthy according to Chinese medicine is learning the nature of each season and living in harmony with its energy. Nature is slowing down and contracting, preparing to rest, so it’s important for us to do the same. Sleep a little longer, eat more warming nourishing foods, and move inward. This is the time of year to start shifting from eating cold, raw foods of summer and opting for foods with longer cook times and hearty ingredients. Sou...ps, stews, braised, and roasted will be warming for your body and easier to digest. Nourishing autumn foods: Pumpkin/squash Sweet potato Garlic/onions/ginger/leeks Black pepper/cinnamon/cardamom/chilli Oatmeal/rice Walnuts/almonds Beans #tcm #chinesemedicine #foodismedicine #autumnequinox #warming #nourishing #acupuncture #yeg #yegacupuncturist #townofdevon #devonab

Ok last minute decision... If you noticed a change to my schedule starting in October, this is why. This lil guy is sooo excited to be a big school kid now, and have a teacher, and make new friends.... #thatsmiletho #proudmama #firstborn #preschool #firstdayofschool #workingmom #yegacupuncturist #townofdevon #devonab

In Traditional Chinese Medicine autumn is the season associated with metal and lungs. This season governs organizing, setting limits, and protecting boundaries. In autumn we move from external, expansive nature of summer to internal, contrastive nature of autumn. It is a good idea to finish up any projects your started in the spring or summer and enjoy the results of all your hard work. It is also a good time to start new projects that focus on the internal- cultivating body ...and mind and becoming more introspective. The energy of the lungs is letting go, so autumn is a good time to be mindful to let go of anything we may be holding on to so we can make room for new experiences that will help us learn and grow. Try: ~a walk outside ~breathing exercises ~reorganizing, decluttering, donating ~reading, puzzles, crosswords, sudoku ~warm bath ~hot tea #tcm #chinesemedicine #acupuncture #yegacupuncture #changeofseasons #autumn #fall #introspection #lungs #selfcare #townofdevon #devonab

**Announcement** Starting September 7 we ask that you come to your appointment wearing your mask. You are able to temporarily remove your mask when enjoying a face-down treatment and we ask that you keep your mask on during a face-up treatment. In the case that you forget your mask one will be provided for an additional fee.... We continue to make these decisions in the best interest of you and keeping our community safe. Thank you for our cooperation. #mthc2007 #acupuncturewithaimee #covid19 #precautions #staysafe #wearyourmask #townofdevon #devonab

Why do I ask to see your tongue? Observation of the tongue is an important part of examination in Traditional Chinese Medicine and almost always reveals the true condition of what’s happening inside of your body. It is particularly useful in complex, chronic conditions manifesting with contradicting symptoms and signs. I look for tongue shape, colour, size, cracks/indentations, coat colour/thickness. All of these qualities give me insight to what’s specifically happening ins...ide of your body. This helps me to narrow down a diagnosis of your condition and make an individual treatment plan specific for you. #acupuncturewithaimee #tcm #tonguediagnosis #acupuncture #examination #insight #yegacupuncture #yeghealth #townofdevon #devonab @ Massage Therapy and Holistic Center

New tool for the toolbox! I’ve been reading and learning the methods of acupressure taping. Great for a variety of pain conditions and injuries to help with circulation and reducing inflammation. It is a great take home therapy that will extend the benefits of your acupuncture treatments. I’m still perfecting my technique but so excited to be able to offer my patients more variety to their care.... #acupuncturewithaimee #acupuncture #acupressure #acutaping #ktape #kinesiology #kinesiotape #yeg #yegacupuncture #yegacupuncturist #inflammation #sportsinjury #sprainsandstrains #circulation #townofdevon #devonab @ Massage Therapy and Holistic Center
