My Philosophy —
Jessica Van Alten Registered Acupuncture

Currently offering Japanese-style Acupuncture with AcuTonics in Courtenay, BC. Please visit the “Book Now” page for online booking, where you’ll find details on available treatments and current scheduling.
​
My approach to treatment is gentle, attentive, and focused. I value the uniqueness of each individual and aim to support clients in feeling empowered as they move toward greater balance and well-being.
​
My passion and respect toward acupuncture traditions continues to deepen as I evolve in my practice. I focus on Japanese-style Acupuncture (Kiiko Matsumoto Style), combined with AcuTonics sound therapy. This approach uses shallow needle insertions and specific palpation areas, allowing for real-time feedback to guide both diagnosis and treatment across a wide range of health concerns. AcuTonics incorporates calibrated tuning forks applied to acupuncture points, creating gentle vibrational frequencies that help regulate the nervous system, support energetic balance, and invite a deeply restorative state within the body.
​
Each session is thoughtfully tailored and may include a blend of techniques drawn from the Traditional Chinese Medicine umbrella, such as palpation and shallow needling, Okyu-style moxibustion, AcuTonics sound and vibration, cupping (I love cupping), gua sha, tuina and shiatsu Acupressure, as well as TCM-based nutrition and lifestyle guidance (Shi Liao).
​
NOTE: At this time, my practice is at full capacity and I am not currently accepting new clients.
