Steph Doerksen | Acupuncture for Pregnancy, Women and Children

Calm.
Connection.
Compassion.

Using acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Compassionate Inquiry practice, I help you to uncover and address the underlying causes of your pain, illness or distress so that you can stop managing your symptoms and make truly transformative changes.

hi, I’m so happy you’re here!

I’m Steph.
If you’ve found your way to this page it’s likely because you’re the kind of person who intuitively knows that your emotional health and your physical health are connected.
You’re looking to create balance in your life that feels easy and sustainable. You’re tired of quick fixes that don’t last or you’ve tried a lot of different things but haven’t seen substantial results. You’re ready for something deeper and more holistic.

I facilitate mind-body healing so that individuals and families can live with greater ease, vitality and confidence.

I work with all kinds of people, but most often women and people who menstruate as well as children, babies and teens. I love working with families and witnessing how a small change to one person can ripple through the whole family. I’m passionate about supporting parents (and parents-to-be) whether by working with them directly or by supporting their children’s health.

I work at the intersection of holistic health, trauma recovery and emotional wellness. This work is not just about getting rid of a symptom. It’s about restoring balance to a whole system so that it can function optimally, without resistance and without strain. If that sounds good to you, let’s talk!

Testimonials

“Stephanie helped support and reassure me when I needed it most in the final weeks before our baby’s arrival. Her sessions were targeted and efficient in a warm and calming environment. Everything an expecting mama needs. I went into labour six hours after my last session and can only assume it helped nudge my body along when it needed it the most. Thanks, Steph! I’m so grateful.”

— Carla

“I really appreciate Stephanie’s calm professional approach. I felt at ease in her presence and confident in her skills. I highly recommend her.”

— Dawn

“I got acupuncture from Stephanie when I was quite ‘overdue’ to birth my third baby and getting anxious. The acupuncture helped me greatly to feel at ease, get movement within my body, and to open up with patience. I ended up having a quick, gentle home birth after a previous cesarean. Stephanie’s support was so valuable during this time.”
