Jul 1st 2025I’ve seen several practitioners over the past five years and every one of them has been amazing, whether it be acupuncture, massage therapy, or chiropractics. They are all passionate about what they do, and genuinely want to help you through injuries, trauma, personal struggles etc. I’ve never felt rushed by them and always feel heard and understood. The reception staff have also been incredible! ♥️

Jul 14th 2021“It’s unfortunate it takes something like debilitating lower back pain and limited mobility to introduce you to a treatment so painless but affective it transforms the way you understand medicine and help. Keep in mind its been around for thousands of years! I’ve always known people who have had acupuncture treatments and how it’s helped them in different ailments (stress, muscle pain, sleep etc) but like many of us I didn’t dig further, mostly because I didn’t understand it and because I thought I didn’t have a use for get poked with needles. It took an extreme case of lower back pain to get me into seeing if this could help me despite my preconceived understandings of what acupuncture really is/does. I am a convert and have first hand felt the benefits from just one treatment with my debilitating low back pain. Within 3 days of my treatment with Lindsay, I went from almost no mobility and high pain to having virtually all the pain disappear. Lindsay also helped me understand how continued pro-active treatments of acupuncture can help keep the muscles relaxed, manage stress and correct my sleep – I’m in! But just remember the initial reason, my back and that has since been getting better and better thanks to an open mind, Lindsay and thousands of years perfecting this treatment. If you haven’t, try it, even if you don’t “think” you need it I’m sure Lindsay would be happy to help you out.”

Jul 14th 2021Lindsay has been helping me out with my back since I was hit by a car a couple of years ago. Her knowledge and passion regarding needling/cupping is second to none. And her enthusiasm and smile make coming to the office a pleasure. Can’t recommend her enough.

Jul 14th 2021Saw Lindsay K. for my initial acupuncture assessment and treatment for the right side of my neck that got spicy while doing yoga. By the next day I was feeling much more comfortable and within 48 hours my discomfort was practically gone. Would highly recommend!

Jul 14th 2021After trying both physiotherapy and massage therapy for sciatic pain with disappointing results, I tried acupuncture. And I just recently finished five acupuncture treatments with Demi Palmer at Equilibrium. Demi is a gentle, skilled practitioner. She demonstrated compassion toward me and interest in my problem. But perhaps most importantly, the treatments work. Demi encouraged me to set a goal at the beginning of our treatment (half-an-hour of pain-free walking) and I have surpassed that goal. She explained everything fully, asked questions of me to determine treatment, and answered all of my questions. She even provided follow up emails twice–once after a session that ended up triggering strong emotions. She just wanted to check out how I was feeling. She is genuinely kind. I was surprised at how much I love acupuncture. Although there is some discomfort involved, overall the needling sensations are delicious and lying on the heated bed is very relaxing. I walk away feeling that healing has taken place. I highly recommend Demi and Equilibrium (the front desk staff are friendly and helpful). I had an extremely positive experience.

Jul 14th 2021I had my very first acupuncture appointment with Demi last week and I have nothing but amazing things to say. She is extremely professional and has a very kind and welcoming demeanour. Throughout the session, she was very attentive and thorough when treating my tense neck and upper back. Just after one acupuncture session, my pain has subsided significantly. On top of the excellent work that she does, the clinic itself had such a relaxing and calming environment. Overall, an excellent experience and am very much looking forward to my next appointment. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend Demi to anyone seeking acupuncture treatment. Thanks for everything!
