Vital Point Acupuncture

We’re open! I have spent a lot of time in the last few weeks developing and implementing a safety plan. We have acquired PPE, disinfectants, and upgraded practice procedures to keep ourselves and clients safe. We are really lucky that our clinic has multiple treatment rooms with windows that open for ventilation. We have learned a lot in the past couple of months regarding transmission of COVID-19 within healthcare settings, and can now feel confident opening in a safe and caring way.

Zen and tranquille.. this space promotes healing and relaxation.

Just returning from a solo retreat. Spent some time alone, in nature, away from the noise, to reset my body, mind, and soul. The past two months have been challenging, reflective and productive. I look forward to treating my beloved clients once again, with more attention, compassion, and an enhanced list of safety measures. Vital Point will open June 1. Online booking opens May 19. #bebetter #healthyfromwithin #shine #acupuncturekamloops

Did you know that I do Feng Shui consulting too? Feng Shui literally means Wind Water, and is an old Chinese practice in the art of placement of objects in your home, office, or any environment, to harmonize the energy of the space. We all want to feel safe, nourished and supported in our personal spaces. Feng Shui consults can help you to declutter, rearrange and enhance any space, to bring you that overall peace and energy you may be seeking. On Monday I had the pleasure of... working with a local family as they make a big transition in their lives. The mother wanted to make the home feel as cozy and comfortable as possible, to minimize the anxiety of this change. Feng Shui can be applied to individual rooms as well. I'm always available for questions and consultations can be booked directly through me. May your day bring you peace and connectivity. Jennifer Larsen See more

CYCLES: SPRING THE SEASON OF WOOD ENERGY As the days become warmer and brighter, nature rouses from her winter slumber and looks ahead to the new growth of spring. The Wood, which has been at rest, storing and concentrating its energy under a winter blanket, now bursts forth with new buds, new life piercing Earth's crust. The swelling Wood of spring initiates rebirth - a surge of rising energy, like the young lamb staggering up to nurse, like the dandelion whose growing edge ...Continue reading

Vital Point Acupuncture welcomes CARRIE WEGREEN (Licensed Osteopath) AVAILABLE Feb 1st, 2019 ~Comprehensive Manual Therapy ~Lymphatic Drainage ~Craniosacral Therapy ~Myofascial Release. Manual therapy looks at, as many systems in the body to see whats behind the problem, when identified, systems are treated to improve health and function of the whole body. ... Carrie has a special interest in Visceral manipulation and how the organs relate to the whole person. Osteopathy includes the organs in how they effect other systems such as fascia and our musculoskeletal. Did you know that many times lower back, neck and shoulder pain is a result of poor organ function Inflammation can build over time in our organs, due to multiple factors such as toxins, our diet, stress and surgeries to name a few. When there is inflammation the nerves that run into our pelvis and spine also become inflamed which can cause misalignment & pain in the skeleton. We also see this with C-sections and abdominal surgeries; the scare tissue left behind causes inflammation and congestion in the organs, resulting in musculoskeletal involvement. The Viscera system when worked on directly and the interrelation to other systems can produce amazing results in tendonitis, carpal tunnel, bloating, nausea, digestive, cramping, IBS, post surgery, postpartum and pelvic floor issues. Visceral Manipulation improves health and function of the gut, increased circulation to the limbs, boost energy, improve sleep and mental clarity, detox, release the nerves connecting to the muscle and spine.

CYCLES: WINTER THE SEASON OF WATER The power of winter is the power of emphasis: it emphasizes the essence of life. Without the external ornamentation of leaves, flowers, and fruits of the growing season, the plant is just bare essence: a seed, with its potential deep inside, or a tree stripped to its core of trunk, branches, and roots. For us, winter is a time of self-recollection, when we can go inside to that place where we are unadorned essence. Water, the element that co...Continue reading
