Acupuncture & Nutrition
Acupuncture is new for most people
Although acupuncture has been around for over two millennia, acupuncture is a new experience for most people. At Essential Balance, we describe every step involved in acupuncture, from explaining how our “10 Questions” on your first visit helps us to evaluate what is really going on inside of you, to clarifying the purpose each inserted needle performs.
I do not just insert needles; instead, I believe in educating clients on how acupuncture is helping them. At Essential Balance, we go way beyond traditional acupuncture, as we work to transform the way clients recover from pain, stress and engage in beauty treatments. Our ambition is to inspire acupuncture into the 21st century attitude.
Nutrition is our fuel
We all do it, every day – we eat. At Essential Balance, we are passionate about real food and real nourishment. We take pride in supporting our clients as they transition from a diet that does not serve their health goals. With inspiration, email support and food workshops, we educate and motivate our clients to make life-changing upgrades to their daily food.
We all have time constraints, cuisine biases, and palate preferences; regardless of where and how you are feeding yourself, we can teach you how to upgrade your nutrition to improve your vitality.
We are wellness and balance
Essential Balance is more than just health, more than the feeling of relief and more than the invigoration of beauty.
It’s a state of well-being and a state of balance.

My Experience
My interest in nutrition started as a teen athlete to improve my performance in long distance running.
My passion for health and wellness continued to develop throughout university, but at the time there weren’t any Nutrition schools in Canada. Instead, I studied economics and after graduation, entered the corporate world.
Twenty years on, after being downsized from my corporate employer, I decided it was time to follow my passion. Working by day, I studied nutrition in the evenings. I was so engrossed in my studies, I had to force myself to close my nutrition books by 11pm. My intense studying paid off; I completed a 2-year course in 9 months, graduating with high honours.
After graduating from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition in 2007, I created Essential Balance Holistic Services.
Shortly after opening my practice, I realized that while my clients appreciated my guidance, they often struggled to implement these new habits. They needed a passive treatment to balance and support them along their health journey. This led me to learn acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Acupuncture and Nutrition complement each other very well. Acupuncture can help with fertility, breech babies, sports injuries, joint pain, anxiety, sleep issues and much more.
Most view acupuncture as just an alternative health treatment, however it’s also a beauty treatment - a way to pamper yourself. This is why I combined the ancient art of facial acupuncture with the best of European-style skincare to create Vienna Mei Ren.
The Vienna Mei Ren method of acupuncture and skin treatment provides a unique and tranquil experience to improve skin tone and complexion, reduce wrinkles and increase overall health in the whole body. In a time when most women rely on injectables, the Vienna Mei Ren method offers a safe, no-side-effect, healthy alternative.
I live in Woodbridge, Ontario with my husband and beloved dogs. I continue to keep fit with martial arts training. I have been a vegan for over 15 years; I love to cook and try new recipes. I know I have found a good recipe when my meat-eating husband enjoys the meal too.
