Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

What people are saying...

  • "Last week I heard the heartbeat again at 14 weeks and started to cry. I just want to sincerely thank Dr. Emilie for being so understanding and kind, for her reassurance, for her explanations of medical jargon and most of all for letting me just cry. In addition to the acupuncture, which I am positive gave me a precious healthy egg, she was such a positive light every week."

    Caitlin

  • "PREGNANCY CAN FEEL WONDERFUL! Past traumas, previous back injuries and the added anxiety, on top of dealing with a recent pregnancy loss was all too much for me. Then COVID happened! I yearned for more support. Finding Dr Emilie Salomons was and will always be one of the most nourishing times of my life. I feel there are no words to express how much joy I have found in the last few months of seeing Emilie weekly. I feel so happy and relaxed I find myself dancing to supermarket music! Acupuncture can and has changed my pregnancy story. My husband doesn't quite believe how I can be so agile and happy in my ninth month of pregnancy. I have seen pregnant women in shops who are clearly suffering, and I wished they all had my amazing Doctor She shows us that pregnancy can be joyful.... Very! We love you Dr Emilie, your mastery and WONDERFUL spirit is a great benefit to all!!

  • "In my 38th week of pregnancy I was told that my blood platelet count had fallen to a level low enough to put my plan for a home-birth in jeopardy. I am so grateful for the treatments I received from Dr. Emilie, it has re-opened the door for a home-birth option; something very important for me and my family."

    Lilian

  • "I am forever grateful to Emilie Salomons. I wasn’t sure how I felt about acupuncture. Emilie put me instantly at ease. She was warm and friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. She helped me figure out what natural vitamins might help and how my diet might affect my fertility; she answered my ENDLESS emails—even after work hours and on weekends. She was there for me through an unlucky etopic pregnancy—and then… yes! When I finally got pregnant too. Even though she was technically on her own maternity leave, she replied to all my questions about how I could best support my pregnancy. And now I am blessed with my adorable four-month old completely healthy and happy baby boy. I can’t express how grateful I am to her. I really know that seeing her and acupuncture helped me have this dream come true. Xo"

  • "I came after a difficult labour with my first child. Originally I came for lack of breast milk, but once that was addressed, we turned to my dribbling urine and the sagging sensation in my pelvis. Although I was already doing Kegels, I really noticed the difference in power and efficiency after the acupuncture. Thanks to my newfound pelvic strength, I was able to not only carry my second child to term but to also have a fabulous vaginal delivery!"

    Patricia

  • "When I got home after my first treatment I was talking with my husband and laughing, he said "it's good to have you back, I have missed you ". I felt exactly the same way. I think this is the first time since I have give birth that my brain wasn't go go go.

  • "I got so much out of your prenatal workshop, and am so impressed with the resources that parents have access to in your area. Thank you for doing what you do, and for the generous spirit you bring to your work. Those Vancouver-area families are truly fortunate to have you..."
