Had such a great time chatting about Acupuncture with Dr. Angela Macdonald, DC of Partners In Health Maple Ridge on her podcast this week! Check it out!

Curious about Acupuncture and how it can be a part of your, healing from an injury or disease or wellness? Then you will love my conversation today with Dani Foster from Foster Acupuncture. I learned so much myself in her accessible way of expalining what she does and why she does it.

I’m thrilled to finally announce the gradual return of in-person acupuncture treatments! Online booking is now open for both office treatments (Maple Ridge) and home visit treatments (Tri-Cities)!

This has been an interesting past few weeks working on the re-opening my private practice. I have ended up with a new name, new space, new city, new treatment options and all in the middle of a global pandemic. Definitely not one to do things the easy way!

My sincere thanks goes out to all of you for your continued patience and support during this transition!

My new location is in the heart of downtown Maple Ridge near city hall. This location will still be convenient for many of you (and even closer for some!) and has plenty of parking.

Although I am saddened to leave the Tri-Cities, I have not forgotten about my loyal Tri-Cities patients! I have created something just for you. If you are wary to travel out to Maple Ridge or are uncomfortable with attending public spaces during the COVID-19 pandemic, I am now offering home visit acupuncture treatments within the Tri-Cities. Just think…you can have a relaxing acupuncture treatment without having to drive home afterward! Of course, if any of my patients who live outside the Tri-Cities are looking for this option, let me know and if there is enough demand for it I will try to make it happen.

Amid all this COVID craziness there are specific safety protocols required in this “New Normal” that need to be followed to ensure we are doing all we can to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Please take the time to visit the COVID-19 pages on my website http://fosteracupuncture.com/ and review the protocols for your choice of treatment before booking your appointment.

I’m looking forward to seeing you again soon. Wishing you safety and health!

Foster Acupuncture - Dani Foster brings you holistic wellness. Serving Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Port Moody, Coquitlam, and Port Coquitlam.

I hope you're all doing well despite the Covid-19 craziness!

Unfortunately, due to the recent permanent closure of Rocky Point Wellness Clinic, I will no longer be seeing patients at my previous Port Moody location.

I am however planning to reopen my independent acupuncture practice as Foster Acupuncture (http://fosteracupuncture.com/) in June 2020 - keep and eye out for more details in the coming weeks!

Looking forward to seeing all of you again soon!

It's April and seeing as it's Cancer Awareness Month, I'll once again be showing my support by donating $1 from each treatment this month to Ride2Survive!
