Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a whole healing system that has been utilized for thousands of years to help bring our bodies into energetic balance and in turn promote healing and optimal functioning. Acupuncture is based on a system of energetic channels that run through the body like rivers, and when the energy or “qi” is flowing smoothly then the body is considered to be in a balanced and healthy state. As a trained and Registered Acupuncturist I will select a specific pattern of points to open these channels, to promote healing and to treat the root causes of what may be creating a variety of symptoms for the patient. That is the beautiful thing about this medicine, we do not focus on just one symptom at a time. Rather we want to look at the whole picture to try and treat what is at the root of causing all of these different symptoms to arise. Additionally treatments can include other modalities that will also support the body’s energetic function including cupping, gua sha or moxibustion.
Facial Acupuncture and Microneedling
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is a 100% natural and safe form of rejuvenation that has been around for thousands of years. It helps to improve muscle tone and dermal contraction in the face and neck as well as increases elastin production helping to firm the skin and fill out wrinkles. Bags and sagging around the eyes, face and neck can be significantly reduced and toned up by substantially increasing the circulation to the head. These treatments give the face a youthful glow and balanced complexion. But, the reason these treatments are so incredible is we are treating your body holistically from the inside out. Not only are we addressing concerns on the face, but we are treating the root causes of what might be contributing to them and people will experience health benefits beyond rejuvenation in their appearance.
Medical Microneedling, or Collagen Induction Therapy is a safe and effective treatment to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, pigmentation, surgical scars, stretch marks and enlarged pores. Body acupuncture is utilized as well to address concerns in a holistic way.
**Facial rejuvenation acupuncture may not be covered under health benefits if they are considered aesthetic treatments for non-medical purposes. Please contact your practitioner or insurance provider for more information**

Registered Massage Therapy
Registered Massage Therapists (RMT's) in British Columbia are health care professionals committed to restoring and maintaining optimal health and pain-free function of the body. They are educated and trained to accurately assess and treat with techniques that include massage and manual therapy, joint mobilization, hydrotherapy, and rehabilitative exercise such as stretching, strengthening, postural exercise and patient education.
Massage Therapy is an effective approach to pain management and rehabilitation. RMT’s are effective in treating and providing relief for a wide range of conditions such as migraine headaches, tendonitis, arthritis, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, as well as many other common conditions related to soft tissue and joint dysfunction.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle hands-on treatment that supports the body’s natural rhythms by working with the craniosacral flow of cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
CST relieves tension in the Central Nervous System where the brain, spine, and nerves live and function. This decrease in tension promotes a deep sense of relaxation, making it an excellent treatment to encourage emotional well-being.
In addition to this deep relaxation of the nervous system, CST can aid in decreasing muscle pain, help to relieve headaches and post-concussion symptoms.
CST allows the innate wisdom of the body to guide the treatment, leading to an increase of inherent self-regulation, self-correction, and self-healing.
Abdominal Therapy
Abdominal Therapy is a holistic approach to reproductive and digestive wellness that supports and rejuvenates the abdomen, womb and pelvic bowl. This treatment involves an external massage of the abdomen, back, hips, and sacrum which helps guide organs back into position and enhances nerve, blood, energy and lymph flow. The increased flow restores balance and allows the body to heal.
Abdominal Therapy offers a multitude of benefits for various conditions and concerns. It addresses menstrual pain, endometriosis, digestive issues, supports postpartum recovery, alleviates adhesions from surgeries, provides relief from pelvic pain or discomfort, as well as enhances fertility. Additionally, these sessions facilitate a meaningful reconnection to the womb space and pelvic bowl, supporting overall physical and emotional well-being.
These techniques are a combination of traditional wisdom and modern science. Dr. Rosita Arvigo studied for 40 years with traditional healers in Central America and combined what she learned with extensive anatomical study and her Naprapathic* practices. Some of the techniques have roots in ancient Maya practices of abdominal massage.
