Real patient stories from our Mental Health patients.
I came to Dr. Sarah Quan with severe anxiety and the return of benign head tremors that had been gone for several years. My anxiety had built steadily over 2–3 years due to work-related stress and had become overwhelming. Having previously experienced success with acupuncture for my head tremors, I decided to seek out Dr. Sarah, who came highly.
After weekly treatments for about two months, the change has been life-changing. My extreme anxiety has returned to what I would consider normal, manageable stress. I can sleep, breathe, relax, and stop constantly anticipating and planning what comes next. My head tremors are gone, and even my friends have noticed the difference.
I’ve also made important changes in my life, including changing jobs and creating better boundaries around work. But acupuncture helped bring my mind and body back to a calmer, more balanced state. I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Sarah Quan and will continue with maintenance treatments. For me, she has been a true lifesaver.

I have been seeing Dr. Sarah Quan since 2007. Originally I started seeing her for anxiety and depression. Not only did she ease my mind but she tirelessly made me feel like any problems I had could be fixed. She took the time to encourage me and listened to any of my emotional issues. Her herbal medications not only helped my emotional well being but worked better than any conventional western medication I was prescribed. After each session I felt much calmer and well adjusted. Because of her expertise I not only stopped taking prescribed mediation but after a short time, stopped taking all medications at all.
In 2009, I wanted to become a mother and had acupuncture for fertility. Nine months later, I welcomed a beautiful healthy baby girl in December of 2009. When I was overdue and was slated to be medically induced, I asked Sarah to induce my labour. Not only was the treatment medication free, I went into full labour less than 24 hours later. I also had trouble breastfeeding and Sarah made a homemade soup for me which improved my milk flow.
Dr. Quan is really a life saver to me. Not only did she help me when I was at my most difficult time in my life but helped me create the greatest joy in my life, my daughter. I cannot express how much I appreciate her wisdom and patience. I will always continue to maintain my emotional and physical health at the Acupuncture & Herbs Wellness Clinic.

I am Ann and I am 53 years old. I was diagnosed with M. S. in 1979. I had to quit working in 1982. I was employed as a nurse in British Columbia. I have had to deal with chronic progressive M.S. for the past 5 years, therefore, not having remission anymore. Since I have begun having acupuncture with Sarah, I no longer have to use my cane to assist in walking and especially controlling my balance. Now I have to get up only once during the night to void. My M.S. has improved by about 90%.
