I believe health is a combination of proper nutrition, adequate sleep, a balance of exercise and relaxation, supportive relationships and mental well-being. Your body has an amazing capacity to heal when given the proper tools. As a Worsley Five Element Acupuncturist, I have witnessed many, many people heal on both physical and emotional levels; from chronic pain to digestive issues, anxiety to PTSD and much more.

Acupuncture is the oldest continuously practiced medical system in the world and is used by 1/3 of the worlds population as a primary health care system. Because of its low cost and noninvasive techniques, acupuncture is making its way into hospitals, medical schools, military bases and insurance companies are beginning to recognize it's effectiveness.
The Five Elements embody and describe all the types of movement, patterns and qualities of energy in nature and in all living things. The way that the 5 elements maintain balance and homeostasis in nature is related to how our body, mind and spirit maintain balance; the 5 elements represent all physiological, mental, emotional and spiritual processes in the human being.
The needles are very thin, about the thickness of a hair. You may feel sensations such as a dull ache, a feeling of pressure or tingling in the area. Every point is different and some are more sensitive than others. Ann is very sensitive to your experience and makes you as comfortable as possible. Yes, Ann is a qualified practitioner and it is very safe.
Before I started treatments with Ann I was struggling with tinnitus for 15 years. The incessant hissing in both ears had reached the point where I couldn't concentrate during the day and it was difficult to sleep at night. Ann did a thorough evaluation and identified other physical issues I was having: frequent headaches, neck, shoulder and hip pain.
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is an ancient art and was found to be used as early as 1279 AD in the Sung Dynasty in China. It is a safe, gentle and effective way of combatting the aging process and can erase years off your face without the risk of surgery or injections. It improves circulation which reduces inflammation, builds collagen, tones muscles and stimulates blood flow with no risk of scars, rashes, toxicity build-up or infection.

Ann combines skill, training, and a very caring attitude. I have worked with several acupuncturists over the years, without lasting results. Since starting with Ann several months ago I have experienced positive results including better overall well-being and improvement of a variety of other symptoms. For me, Ann, and the 5 element style (which is the much older, traditional approach) have been very helpful. Highly recommend.

Before I came to see Ann at the clinic, I was struggling with low energy, indigestion and feeling anxious and down quite often. I was also struggling to cope with symptoms of endometriosis and the hormonal imbalances related to this condition. I found it was affecting my ability to cope with the non-stop nature of my work as a full-time Mom!
After 5 months of seeing Ann, I now crave my next acupuncture session, as it has helped me to feel more alive on every level. I am better able to cope with emotional ups and downs, I feel more inclined to eat well and exercise regularly, and my digestive system

I went to Ann for acupuncture because I was feeling extremely fatigued, anxious and brain-fogged, and my medical doctor and many specialists couldn't find anything wrong. Ann helped guide me through obtaining a lyme diagnosis while expertly treating my symptoms and enabling me to function while I was unwell. Ann provided nutrition and life counselling, and enthusiastically supports me and my health and well-being. The fact that she takes insurance is a bonus.

I started seeing Ann at the clinic due to a chronic lower back and sciatic nerve pain. After several weeks of seeing Ann, the pain from these conditions have vastly improved. I no longer notice my having sciatic pain. Ann has also treated and provided relief from an occasionally reoccurring neck & arm pain caused by a neck stenosis condition. My day to day quality of life and ability to lead a physically active life has been greatly aided by Ann's treatments. Also Ann doesn't hesitate to recommend non-acupuncture based treatments when she thinks they would be helpful or more appropriate. I highly
