What She Treats
Emily takes a special interest in pain management, including osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), fibromyalgia, sports injuries, and common concerns such as low back pain, sciatica, knee pain, neck pain, plantar fasciitis, and headaches.
Acupuncture is often used to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support recovery from both acute and chronic conditions.
Sleep and digestive concerns are another area of focus, including insomnia, IBS, Crohn’s disease, colitis, heartburn, acid reflux (GERD), and constipation.
Emily also supports patients experiencing seasonal and environmental allergies, as well as stress-related symptoms that can impact both sleep and digestion.
About the Clinic
Balance Healing Centre has expanded into a commercial practice located on the 3rd floor of 35 Beechwood Avenue, inside the Santé Health Beechwood clinic. The space features convenient elevator access, a bus stop right outside, and free two-hour street parking nearby.
Please note: Our transition to 35 Beechwood takes effect September 1st. All appointments until then remain at 745 Hemlock Road—just two minutes down the street!
Special Training
Emily is trained in Dr. Tan's Balancing Method. This system, known for its immediate effect on relieving pain, works with the sophisticated relationships of the acupuncture meridians and generally offers relief within minutes after needle insertion. For instance, it can be used alone or in combination with local points often used in dry needling.
Emily is also trained in facial rejuvenation acupuncture also known as cosmetic acupuncture. She continues to learn more about this holistic approach to beauty and incorporates gentle cupping into the treatment.
Emily has studied under Kiiko Matsumoto. The Kiiko Matsumoto Style of acupuncture (KMS) was developed by Master Na. He was a blind Japanese acupuncturist and hence palpation is the main diagnostic tool.
