I wanted to go with a pregnancy-specific clinic for specialized treatment, and am so glad I went with this place. I had a fantastic first session with Sandra, and am so looking forward to meeting Lisa for my second treatment, as she is knowledgeable re: breathing techniques for labour. Before making an appointment somewhere, I was feeling vulnerable and unsure as I was late in my third trimester. However at Acumamas, I felt totally heard, supported, and assured throughout my entire visit. I was provided with lots of great info during the session, as well as follow-up info via email that was super beneficial. I will definitely continue going here for postnatal treatments.

I was having extreme nausea well into my mid second semester, and my midwife suggested acupuncture and Acumamas. I booked my first appointment with Sandra changed my life. I went from throwing up to not throwing up the next day and having energy. My nausea went subsided. I continued to for the rest of my pregnancy along with cervix ripening which helped me go into labour naturally after being 10 days past due date.I highly recommend Sandra and the whole Acumamas team as they have been amazing support and gentle towards my whole pregnancy!

I cannot speak highly enough of Lisa Davicioni at Acumamas Wellness. I connected with her for acupuncture services following a diagnosis of complete placenta previa in the hopes that her services could assist me in resolving my condition.

During our meetings she was incredibly knowledgeable, information, kind, and compassionate. She took the time to listen to my story, check in with me at every appointment, and walk me through the acupuncture process. After seeing her for 7-8 weeks, I had my 28 week scan and learned that my previa had been resolved as it had shifted significantly away from my cervix! I am so thankful for Lisa and all her help!

Acumamas is an inviting and comfortable space for families. I started seeing Morgan Gaffney for massage while I was pregnant and now she is the only masseuse my husband and I see in Vancouver. Morgan is attuned and informed; she is always able to find my muscles that need some extra TLC and knows how the body is connected. Her style (at least with me) is strong and graceful, incorporating firm pressure and long, flowy movements in the treatment. She also creates a comfortable environment by offering pillows and heating pads. Highly recommend!!

I went to acumamas a week before I was to be induced at 37 weeks and booked 4 sessions with both Lisa and Renee. I was really hoping that I wouldn't have to have the Oxytocin and that my body would go into labour naturally, although it was my first pregnacy. Lisa and Renee made no promises, but I had some pretty intense treatments that my body completely responded to and I went info labour naturally the morning I was supposed to be induced! I absolutely attribute it to the acupuncture sessions that I had. Lisa and Renee are excellent and really know what theyre doing- I would definitely go back and/or recommend them for prenatal issues!

I had my first postpartum acupuncture appt with Courtney at 10 months pp and I’m so glad I went!! I wish I had come sooner. It was an incredible experience. Courtney was so kind and supportive and made genuine effort to listen to my needs/concerns and address them. I am excited for my next session!

If you’re like me and struggling to slow down during the later months of pregnancy this is exactly what you need! This massage was easily the highlight of my week. I came away feeling cared for and so relaxed. Thank you Catherine, see you again soon!

I had a wonderful acupuncture treatment for cervical ripening with Lisa Davicioni. Not only did she make me feel completely relaxed she took the time to speak with me about my previous pregnancy and give me advice on going into labour for the second time. I really appreciate her kind words and will be strongly recommending her to everyone I speak with. I also love how easy it is to book appointments online I was able to fit in appointments at my own convenience. Thank You Acumamas!

Morgan is an amazing prenatal RMT and seeing her regularly saved my poor body throughout this pregnancy. She is extremely knowledgeable, a great listener and works magic with her hands. Would highly recommend seeing her through all stages of pregnancy.

My experience at Acumamas was amazing. I felt so cared for, so seen and heard. Lisa Davicioni knows her Chinese medicine deeply and has been the only herbalist that has ever produced deep long lasting results with her intuitive scientific analysis of my whole complex set of issues.

I can not say enough good things about Acumamas Wellness. I have been going there for over a year for both Acupuncture and Massage. The first time I stepped into their space I felt immediately at peace and knew that this was the right place to help take me on my fertility and motherhood journey. Their whole team is so passionate about helping to be mamas and mamas. Courtney has been my acupuncturist and is the best listener I have ever come across. You truly feel held and heard in her presence. She is so attentive and takes her time to ensure that she's treating the best combination of points to address your issues. Jamie has been my masseuse, she has an incredible instinct for what parts of your body need work and has magic hands. She is also a Dula so really has multilayered knowledge of all things motherhood. I leave Acumamas feeling like I've been fully restored and can take on the world. With their help I conceived my first baby! Thank you Acumamas, you are a special place.

I started going to Acumamas approximately two years ago. I received both acupuncture and herbs from Renee and Lisa. Both these ladies are very experienced and were such an integral part of my fertility journey. I cannot thank them enough for their empathy, kindness and support. The energy in the clinic is very light, relaxing and positive. Work was very stressful and I found myself looking forward to my weekly treatments. They always made themselves available and helped me navigate the fertility process. I just had my baby boy this year!! Thank-you Renee and Lisa!!!

I’ve been going to Acumamas for a couple of years now and was originally referred by a friend. I had regular treatment while trying to get pregnant and throughout my pregnancy. It’s hard to put into words how much it has transformed my life and health. Renee and Courtney are amazing. They went above and beyond to support me on my journey and I recommend them to all my family and friends. I am so grateful I found them and cannot recommend them enough.

I’ve been meaning to write this review for over a year, but y’know- parenthood happened. I am deeply grateful to Renee for her prenatal care prior to the birth of my first child.

Her acupuncture sessions helped ease some late pregnancy issues that arose, including hip flexor spasms and swollen achy wrists. Her demeanour is beautifully calming and it was a joy to have her help me with my pregnancy symptoms and birth preparation.

I also went to some of the Community Acupuncture sessions for cervical ripening and I believe those, and Renee’s help, contributed to my being able to better manage the “pain” and sensations I experienced during labour.

I cannot recommend Acumamas enough.

Ive seen three practitioners here for acupuncture. My husband has also been going and we are both really enjoying it. They provide more support than we expected on our fertility journey. Its a very comfortable environment.
