Acupuncture and wellness consultations

Acupuncture is booked together with a counselling session or a wellness follow-up. Wellness consultations offer health and nutrition support, in person or by video.

The waiting room: wicker chairs with cream cushions around a wooden coffee table, a small mint-green side table with a lavender plant, and two framed botanical prints on a white shiplap wall.

  • Eat a light meal an hour or two before your visit.
  • Tell Lisa if you are pregnant, take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder or a pacemaker, or have felt faint around needles before.
  • Acupuncture uses fine, sterile, single-use needles.

About these services

Acupuncture and wellness consultations are separate from Lisa's counselling therapy. They are not regulated by the Nova Scotia College of Counselling Therapists, and Nova Scotia does not regulate acupuncture. Lisa's acupuncture training and certification are through the Examining Board of Natural Medicine Practitioners.

Insurance plans differ in what they cover. Some reimburse acupuncture only from practitioners with particular credentials or association memberships, so check with your plan before you book. Lisa does not bill insurance companies directly.
