We have moved to 2612 Quadra St., just north of Kings Ave., on the ground floor of Blue Bird Cabs!
When learning how to comprehend the basic principles of Chinese medicine, students are taught that all of the philosophical ideas that underpin the ideas of yīn and yáng, and the ways they are interrelated, can be mapped on to the tàijí – or what in the west we might hear people casually refer to as the ‘yin-yang…
After weeks of delays from our landlord’s building insurance, new glass is up and Chris and Stu of Dobell Sign Co. have been back to repaint our signage. It finally feels like our space is complete and we can start getting back to work AND our clients won’t be as confused about where they are…
One of the key systems of how we operate our Community Acupuncture practice is the all important Invisible Receptionist (IR). AND we hope you enjoy our revamped IR 2.0 at our new Quadra Village home! Our IR has been through multiple versions of refinement over the past 13 years. We feel at this point, our…
A final reno sneak peek for the folks who haven’t made it to our new location!! Firstly, here is a peek of the gem of our renos, our womb-like, night sky Community Acupuncture room…we didn’t end up sharing these earlier due to the chaos of sorting out our windows (still in progress) and preparing for…

After Christina noticed the For Lease sign and she went running across Quadra St to press her face up against the glass back in March…she scribbled a rough floor plan on the piece of…
One of the highlights of our renovations has been the privilege of having bespoke signage done by the last remaining hand painted sign-writers in Lekwungen Territories and we couldn’t be more ecstatic about the results!!!! Despite the stress and chaos that is an inherent part of renos, finally having the signage up in our windows…
Another reno sneak peek… Christina with the guidance of the talented @noahweaves have created something pretty special for the future Community Acupuncture room at 2612 Quadra St. Using chicken wire, 100% wool roving from Alberta sheep and skillful, dextrous hands the two of them created dreamy, fluffy clouds. They will be used to conceal some of…
Well, since the cat’s outta the bag, we might as well show a wee sneak peek of how our renos are progressing… We’ve also had handful of clients walk by to check out the new space as well as many warm welcomes from business owners and residents in the Quadra Village neighbourhood. We can’t wait…
