kind words from my dear clients

Carmelle offers a standard of trauma-informed care that is difficult to come by. I often leave Carmelle’s office with a feeling of gratitude. She is knowledgeable, skillful, listens compassionately, and engages thoughtfully with my wishes and concerns. She is a true therapeutic ally, and a gifted care provider

“Carmelle is a very skilled acupuncturist. She helped me through the end of a difficult pregnancy, including helping with an induction. I highly recommend this amazing healer!” -E.C


“I was referred to Carmelle by a coworker for my chronic shoulder issues and I was blown away by the result from my first treatment. I immediately felt relief (which is something I hadn't been able to find for years.)I have seen many practitioners in the past of all sorts of modalities, but Carmelle was the only one to have such a direct impact on my pain so quickly. I immensely recommend Carmelle; she is an amazing practitioner and person who loves what she does.” -C.L


“I have been seeing Carmelle for the last year and she is someone I trust immensely to help guide my health and well-being. She supported me throughout my entire pregnancy from very early first trimester and now into postpartum. Carmelle is incredibly skilled and intuitive, and also very grounding, supportive and soft in nature. She is intentionally and authentically curious about your life and the ways she can help bring a sense of balance through acupuncture and other treatments. She supported me for everything pregnancy related from morning sickness, digestion/irritable bowl symptoms, leg cramps, high blood pressure, aches and pains, hormonal/thyroid support and more. I found immense comfort in seeing Carmelle often throughout my pregnancy as she always brought me so much relief and nurturing when I needed it most. When I found out that she offers birth support, I knew I wanted her to be apart of my birth team as I planned for a home birth and wanted additional pain management. I cannot express enough gratitude for how much Carmelle helped during my labour and delivery. I felt at ease knowing she was on call for me and she offered me a highly effective induction treatment to get things moving along. She then attended my birth later that day in which she continued to offer induction treatments to continue moving baby along and encouraged me with pain management through acupuncture and hands on support. It was a blessing to have Carmelle there for the birth of my son, as both my partner and I felt very respected and peaceful in our birth space. She was like an acupuncture ninja- providing treatments and healing without interjection to provide my partner and I the opportunity to connect and celebrate in the moment as a new family of 3. She also visited my home to do a treatment one week post birth to support my postpartum healing which I immensely appreciated not having leave my home. I have also brought my baby to her clinic space which is very supportive to any new parent who is not quite ready to leave their baby. I cannot recommend Carmelle enough for not only her knowledge and skill, but also the deep connection she builds on a personal level. She is my most trusted healer and now someone I consider a friend.” J.M


“Acupuncture hasn't always been a practise that has appealed to me but Carmelle's treatments are gentle, enjoyable and effective. It feels like a treat to spend time in Carmelle's cocoon of a clinic room. With her insightful observations and gentle treatments, I felt refreshed, cared for and that my health was nurtured.” -R.G


“I have been seeing Carmelle for a few years for neck and tension issues from working in front of a computer all day. It has been helpful for releasing tension and for general maintenance.
Also great with kids! She introduced both my kids to acupuncture, just to try it out while they were younger. They are always excited to go in for a treatment and always come out super calm and relaxed “ -S.D


“I can honestly say that Carmelle has helped support my healing on so many levels, and bring my body and health to a much better place. Her style makes me feel safe and supported, and I feel so respected by her. She is so attuned and clear that she is able to get to the root of complex health conditions and provide treatments that move towards healing and relief from long-held, complex ailments. She is an involved healer and puts a lot into a treatment session. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone, cannot express enough how much of an acupuncture wizard she is.” - D.S


“Carmelle is an incredibly professional and intuitive practitioner. She grounds her practice in her knowledge, her skill and her empathic and attentive way of caring for others. Starting sessions with Carmelle was the first time I went to acupuncture to address emotional healing and Carmelle has been instrumental in helping me on a healing journey that has taken me to the grounded place I am in today. “ -A.J


“I have known Carmelle personally and through her profession for many years now. She has a way of making you feel calm, heard, and cared for. The treatments I have had with her have always been extremely thorough, where I not only feel a difference physically but also often come away learning something new about my body. She is understanding, patient, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable. I have always left her studio feeling refreshed and relaxed. I would highly recommend seeing Carmelle for an acupuncture treatment whether it be for a specific health concern or just overall wellbeing.” - B.W.



“I have been a client with Carmelle since she started her practice. She is highly professional and extremely knowledgeable as an acupuncturist. Carmelle listens to you and asks great questions in her assessment to ensure she provides the best care. She will check in with you at the beginning and end of each treatment and will ensure she is available to maintain a healthy treatment plan. Such a great experience. I highly recommend Carmelle to friends and family or others that ask.” - C.B


"I've always had strong allergic reactions to pollen during the spring & summer seasons, I decided to try acupuncture from Carmelle, as an alternative to my continuous use of allergy medication. The results were fantastic, after a few sessions, my symptoms were reduced immensenly, my congestion was almost non existent, I could breathe clearly and my eyes no longer bothered me as they normally would from an allergic reaction to pollen. I highly recommend her!" P.J.


“I have been working with Carmelle to address issues with stress and reduce my menopausal systems rather than taking medications or HRT. As a practitioner she was both extremely knowledgeable and professional. She took great care in my evaluation and in assessing my needs before each treatment." C.B.
