Acupuncture is widely known for its effectiveness in treating and managing chronic pain. And most people, at some point in their lives have dealt with pain and injury to their muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones. Contributing factors that can lead to pain include injury/trauma, diet, exercise, or overuse (repetitive injury).Acupuncture encompasses a broad range of medical practices that are based on many years of tradition. The healing techniques are based on the principle of free and uninterrupted energy flow, known as Qi, and helps to activate the natural healing processes in the patient's body. It relies on the patient's body to restore it's physical and emotional well-being.

Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles in specific points on the body. Each point or combination of points varies according to individualized treatments. The insertion of needles into the muscles increases circulation to area of pain or injury, decreases inflammation, and allows taut muscles to relax, resulting in quicker overall recovery and alleviation of pain.


Child & Youth Acupuncture

For children, acupuncture works to activate the body's self-healing abilities. The effects will vary and can be noticed immediately or may take several treatments to see improvements.

Acupuncture treatment provided to children at our clinic may involve needling and/or needle-free methods. At the time of your child's booking and appointment, you can request a needle-free treatment.

About Sarena, Dr. Ac

I have been in practice as an Acupuncturist since 2013 and I am registered with the College of Acupuncturists of Alberta (CAA). I was always drawn to health and medicine and spent 4 years in health sciences in college and university prior to studying Acupuncture.

During the course of my education I was fortunate to have gained experience in the fields of audiology, diet and health management, family medicine, otolaryngology and physical therapy. These experiences formed my appreciation for both Western and Oriental medicine. I strongly believe that the integration of both Western and Eastern medicine is essential in disease prevention, healing and health maintenance.

In 2020, after a long search, I found my Reiki teacher, Marianne Goetsch. I started my Reiki training and completed the Shoden and Chuden level training in Usui Shiki Reiki Ryoho and Komyo ReikiDo. I describe my treatment style as assisted meditation, focusing on helping the patient reach a level of relaxation. I hope to achieve my Shinpiden level training in the coming years.

Each of my treatments focuses on providing my patients with a thorough, individualized treatment plan in a variety of conditions. I apply and combine values learned through my numerous years of study in both Western Medical Sciences and Traditional Chinese Medicine. I strive to empower all my patients to live their best and healthiest lives.
