Coco Acupuncture

Welcome to Coco Acupuncture

Hi, I'm Crystal (Coco to my family), a Registered Acupuncturist (R.Ac) and Registered Nurse (RN) with over 15 years of clinical nursing experience in palliative care, wound care, community health, and patient education. I came to Traditional Chinese Medicine as a skeptic. What I found built on everything nursing had already taught me and gave me a new clinical lens.

Care that meets you where you are

Life doesn't always happen near a clinic. I offer in-home visits across Barrie and surrounding communities (approximately 30 km, with travel further out on request), as well as appointments in hospitals, retirement homes, rehabilitation facilities, and hospice settings. Prefer a clinic? I also see clients at Adams Massage Therapy in south Barrie.

More than needles

Acupuncture is the heart of my practice, including Zhu Scalp Acupuncture, a gentle approach suitable for both adults and children. Depending on your goals and comfort, sessions may also include:

• Cupping, gua sha, and moxibustion
• Tui na and Zen shiatsu
• Ear seeds and intradermal needles
• Daoyin movement and breathing practice
• TCM food therapy
• A partnership, not a prescription

My role is to create the conditions that support your body's own capacity to heal. Every session includes education and practical tools you can use between visits, so you leave knowing more than when you arrived. I work with adults navigating stress and burnout, and with parents who want to better understand their children's health.

Curious, cautious, or already a fan?

Skeptics are especially welcome. I started there too. Book a free 15-minute phone call to see if we're a good fit, or book your initial visit directly below.
