Services
Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese Acupuncture uses fine needles at specific meridian points to restore energy (Qi) flow. This ancient practice stimulates the nervous system, increases endorphin production, and activates immune responses. Patients receive customized treatment plans addressing chronic pain, stress, and systemic imbalances through weekly sessions.
Shiatsu Therapy
Japanese Shiatsu combines acupressure and therapeutic massage to balance energy flow. This hands-on treatment improves circulation, relieves muscle tension, and promotes emotional well-being. Sessions focus on meridian pathways using rhythmic pressure techniques tailored to individual health goals and lifestyle needs.
Sports Therapy
Sports Therapy integrates biomedical acupuncture with deep tissue shiatsu and resistance stretching. This approach accelerates injury recovery, enhances athletic performance, and prevents future injuries. Treatments address sports-related musculoskeletal issues through targeted therapy combined with rehabilitation exercises.
Skin Care
Cosmetic Acupuncture improves skin tone and reduces aging signs through strategic needle placement. This non-surgical treatment stimulates collagen production while addressing internal imbalances. Sessions combine facial acupuncture with systemic wellness approaches for holistic beauty benefits.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha involves gentle skin scraping to improve circulation and release muscle tension. This traditional technique reduces inflammation, alleviates chronic pain, and boosts immune function. Each session includes post-treatment care guidance to maximize therapeutic effects and promote natural healing processes.

I can't believe it took me this long to discover acupuncture, but it was a simply divine experience. Ccerlii is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, talking me through the process and explaining what she was using, why she was doing what she was, and made me feel very comfortable through the entire appointment. I was transported to just another plane of existence, I can not recommend Ccerlii and her practice enough.

I'm not sure why Shiatsu is in the title of this place nor why such good reviews last year, as Ccerlii basically spends five minutes sticking you with pins and then exits the room, instructing you to lie perfectly still, face down with a face mask on for an hour. The treatment was neither pleasant nor effective in releasing tense muscles or treating an inner ear problem. A real disappointment.

Ive been to countless Acupuncturists, who knew the best one would be in the small town of Collingwood. Ive had many issues fixed by Ccerlii and have referred her to many happy customers.

Incredible results!! Truly can't say enough about how this gentle and non-invasive treatment has helped in balancing hormones, improving sleep, reducing stress, and increasing an overall sense of wellness. Everyone should incorporate TCM Acupuncture into their lives; it's my family's first line of defense from everything to the common cold to managing more complex and chronic health issues. Thank you, Ccerlii!

I try to see Ccerlii everytime I go to Blue Mountain. She is a wonderful therapist and I always feel so much better after getting a shiatsu massage. I highly recommend her to everyone visiting Collingwood/Blue Mountain area.
