Description

Specialties

Acupuncture, Shiatsu, Craniosacral

History

Established in 1999.

I first trained as a shiatsu practitioner. Acupuncture was a natural progression. Having hands on training and combining it with Traditional East Asia Medicine, treatments are both holistic and effective.

I’ve studied Japanese Acupuncture and have a special interest in treating women during pregnancy, labour & delivery and postpartum.

Meet the Business Owner

JoAnn A.

Business Owner

First trained as a shiatsu practitioner and then as an acupuncturist, I have been in private practice for well over 15 years. I developed my skills to treat the body and mind, and over time, I came to appreciate the body’s strong, innate ability to heal itself.

Acupuncture and Shiatsu treatments are specific to your needs. Treatments are geared treat the root cause of your issue, break holding patterns and introduce healthy ones. Together we seek lifestyle changes that bring Body Awareness and Wellness to you. In my practice, I encourage you to take an active role in your healing process. It is an empowering experience!

I am also a co-founder of Toronto AcuBirthing, Acupuncture for Pregnancy, Labour and Postpartum. As a Registered Acupuncturist, I am a member of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario.

Very impressed with the service. It was my first time and I have to admit I was a bit nervous when I showed up but that changed very quickly.
Very professional, clean and private

I’ve been going to JoAnn for years & love her treatments. I come to see her at least once a month. JoAnn has a great body of knowledge, is professional, kind, and can help with many different types of issues. If you’re going to her for the first time I suggest downloading the intake form as it can take some time to fill out. I’ve gotten my family members coming to see JoAnn as well. My brother & my mom have all gone to JoAnn & give rave reviews. She’s amazing.

I have been a fan for over 5 years. JoAnn strives to understand what is going on for you.
If you have ever wanted to try acupuncture or shiatsu or cranial sacral therapy this is the place. JoAnn’s treatments have successfully helped my amenorrhoea, PMS irritability, regulating of my cycle, intense muscle pain, ward off colds and (biggest for me) reduce my anxiety/improve low mood. I have colleagues who see her for shoulder pain from swimming and other more muscular issues too. JoAnn is thorough, kind, non-judgemental, experienced and knowledgeable.
She has a focus on women’s reproductive systems– helping PMS to trying to conceive and support throughout pregnancy and post-natal. I’d recommend her to a ‘sister’- and have!
