Vancouver, its time to try a different approach!
Pushing through life with gritted teeth isn’t the only way to hold everything (and everyone) together—and it’s certainly not the only way to get a full night’s rest.
Being on high alert all the time—so much so that you can catch the glass before it hits the floor—might be great for quick cleanups, but it’s hard on your nervous system. That constant state of tension can ripple into poor sleep, anxiety, digestion issues, and even chronic pain.
Consider this: you spend your entire life inside your fluid, dynamic body. Shouldn’t it feel good to live in?
If it doesn’t, maybe it’s time for a different kind of care—one that listens to your body’s messages, not just its symptoms. One that supports your healing from the inside out.
It's time to put down that bag of anxiety.
(how about a medical system with thousands of years of history helping people thrive?)
Let’s stop making do with discomfort.
Whether it’s chronic back pain, hormonal shifts, or that anxious hum in the background—ignoring it doesn’t make it better. (Same goes for taxes.)
You deserve more than just getting by.
You deserve to feel good in your body—comfortable, flexible, and strong—so you can show up fully for the things (and people) you love.
At our Balance Acupuncture clinic in Vancouver, we offer gentle, effective care for back pain, stress, sleep issues, hormonal balance, and more. Because healing isn’t just about removing symptoms—it’s about helping you come back home to yourself.

Oh boy! These teeny tiny needles fix such a wide variety of symptoms -headaches and hypertension? Chinese Medicine appeals to me because it is the simplifying of treatments - just a few methods - that can transform lives.
I use traditional diagnostic methods to discover the underlying causes of complaints and I customize each treatment based on the patient’s constitution.
During our sessions, I provide a consultation and share at-home care tips to promote recovery. Using the Balance System, I apply points to the arms and legs - away from the sore area - treating a wide range of conditions including stress, headaches, migraines, digestive difficulties, weight management, and gynaecological issues. Additionally, I commonly address chronic muscle tension and body pain management issues.

We got you!
Trusting someone new to poke you with needles to ease pain thanks to an ancient system that doesn't sound like anything you learned in science class?
thats no small thing.
You’ll arrive to a calm, cozy space designed to help you feel grounded and cared for. We’ll begin with an assessment, then move into your treatment — often a combination of acupuncture and gentle body-based techniques.
Most people leave feeling deeply relaxed (sometimes even floaty or sleepy), which is a sign your nervous system is feeling calmer.
- Wear comfortable clothing that lets you roll up your sleeves and pant legs.
- Eat a light snack or meal 1–2 hours before (not too full, not too empty).
- Try to avoid caffeine just before.
- Allow a little downtime afterward so the treatment has space to settle in.
It depends on your treatment, but usually 8–20.
They’re hair-thin, sterile, and often painless — many people don’t feel them at all.
We use a minimalist, targeted approach so your body can respond clearly and calmly.
When a needle is placed, it may feel like a tiny pinch that quickly fades. Some points create a heaviness, warmth, or gentle ache — these are normal therapeutic sensations.
You should always feel comfortable enough to nap through your treatment.
If anything feels too much, I'll turn down the intensity right away.
If sensation is on a scale between painful and delightful, acupuncture lands right in the middle: it feels like something — but shouldn't be painful.
- Acute or new issues: Relief can often be felt within 1–2 sessions.
- Mild issues lasting a few months: Usually 4–10 sessions.
- Chronic or complex issues: Long-term pain, migraines, digestive or hormonal imbalances, anxiety, or trauma may take 8+ sessions.
Acupuncture works cumulatively — each treatment builds on the last to help your body find and hold its new balance. Some people notice changes right away, others more gradually. We’ll check in regularly to adjust your plan so progress is steady and lasting.
Tan Balance System Acupuncture is a lineage-based approach rooted in the work of Dr. Richard Tehfu Tan, who synthesized the teachings of many master doctors and added his own innovations—most notably his “truss” style of treatment, which works like a bridge to stabilize the body’s healing.
This method follows the way acupuncture has been used for centuries: focusing on channel-based diagnosis rather than organ-based patterns. Instead of needling only where you feel discomfort (don't poke the tiger!), it uses carefully chosen distal points—often far from the problem area—on meridians that are energetically linked.
By restoring balance through these pathways, people often feel relief within minutes, along with a deep, whole-body sense of harmony.
Heal your body, while you nap.

"Meghan is soooo lovely. I've been seeing her for a couple of years now for help with all sorts of concerns. Whenever I leave her sessions, it feels like I am literally floating."

"I've been fearful of needles most of my life. The idea of acupuncture gave me anxiety until my first session with Jill. She is so gentle, patient and thoughtful in her practice. I'm now looking forward to our acupuncture treatments!"
