Your Wellness Journey Ends Here
We have dedicated ourselves to providing holistic wellness services since 2004, combining acupuncture, yoga, and traditional Chinese medicine. Our founder, Amy Grapel, began her journey in 1997 with studies in Exercise Sciences and Traditional Chinese Acupressure Massage Therapy. After graduating in 1998, she gained extensive experience in fitness and recreation before establishing Amys Healing Touch in 2004, later rebranded as Art Of Healing Wellness Centre. Over 20 years, we expanded our offerings to include the Bowen Technique, advanced acupuncture, and yoga instruction, serving the Chester and Chester Basin communities.Our commitment to continuing education ensured we remained at the forefront of wellness practices, with certifications from institutions like the Canadian College of Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Yoga Education Institute. While we regret to announce our closure on August 30, 2024, we remain proud of the trust clients placed in our care and will provide referrals for ongoing acupuncture needs. Our team, including longtime collaborator Amanda, has always prioritized personalized service, community engagement, and evidence-based practices to support physical and emotional well-being.
