Stress & Emotional Regulation

In today’s fast-paced world, stress and emotional imbalance are common struggles that can impact our mental and physical well-being. Acupuncture offers a holistic approach to managing stress, anxiety, and emotional turbulence by stimulating key points on the body to restore balance and promote relaxation. 

Holistic Skincare

Healthy, radiant skin is a reflection of internal balance. Our holistic skincare treatments combine Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques with advanced needling therapies to support skin rejuvenation, improve circulation, and enhance natural collagen production. By working with the body’s own healing abilities, these treatments help restore skin vitality while promoting overall wellness. At Grand Forks Acupuncture we offer Holistic Microneedling, Nanoneedling and Cosmetic Acupuncture services.


Acupuncture & Traditional Healing Services

Grand Forks Acupuncture offers a range of holistic treatments based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to help improve your overall health and well-being. Our therapies are tailored to your specific needs, focusing on creating balance and addressing a wide variety of conditions.

Acupuncture 

Using thin, sterile, single use needles, acupuncture stimulates specific points on the body to support natural healing. It’s effective for pain, mobility issues, sports recovery, digestive concerns, headaches, fertility, stress, mood disorders, facial rejuvenation, and more.

Sports Acupuncture

Targeted techniques that use trigger point needling, motor point needling, as well as manual tissue release to release tension in muscles, reduce pain, and restore function. At Grand Forks Acupuncture we use the EXSTORE method of assessment to quickly determine which areas require treatment so you can feel better, faster.

Holistic Microneedling

A natural alternative to more invasive skin treatments, Holistic Microneedling uses ultra-fine needles on an oscillating pen-like device to create microchannels in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This process helps to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, restore hair growth, and even out skin tone while improving overall texture and firmness. Unlike conventional microneedling, our approach integrates Traditional Chinese Medicine principles, ensuring a gentle yet effective treatment that supports both skin health and internal harmony.

Nanoneedling

For those seeking a needle-free option, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, nanoneedling offers a gentle yet effective way to revitalize the skin. Using microscopic silicone tips on an oscillating pen-like device, this treatment enhances serum absorption, hydrates and exfoliates the skin, and encourages cellular renewal. It’s ideal for sensitive skin types and provides an instant glow with no downtime.

During this session, we’ll discuss your skin goals, explore the best treatment options for you, and create a personalized plan to help you achieve radiant, healthy skin—naturally.

Cosmetic Acupuncture

More than just a beauty treatment, cosmetic acupuncture works from the inside out to promote natural, lasting radiance. By stimulating key points on the face and body, this treatment increases circulation, lifts and tones facial muscles, and encourages collagen production. It also supports overall wellness by addressing underlying imbalances that contribute to skin concerns, making it a truly holistic approach to beauty.

All of our cosmetic treatments include acupuncture treatments tailored to your specific requirements, LED light therapy, as well as topical botanical serums or moisturizing organic facial oils.

Acupuncture needles are super fine and flexible, which makes them very comfortable.

Cupping

This therapy uses suction cups placed on the skin to enhance circulation, reduce pain, and improve mobility. It’s often used for muscle tension, sports recovery, respiratory symptoms, and stress relief. Marks may appear, but they’re temporary and part of the healing process.

You can get cupping as a standalone treatment, or in conjunction with your acupuncture appointment.

Gua Sha

A gentle scraping technique to improve blood flow and lymphatic drainage. Gua Sha is often used for muscle relief, facial rejuvenation, and general wellness. Redness may occur, indicating the treatment is working.

Moxabustion (Moxa)

Moxa involves burning mugwort over specific points on the body to provide deep heat and healing benefits. It’s commonly used for pain, scar healing, fertility, immunity, and digestive issues. Although we don’t offer moxa in-studio, you may be given a moxa stick to use at home.


These services can be combined or offered individually based on your health goals.

Moxa is easy to use and makes a great home treatment. Pictured here is smokeless moxa.

About

My name is Lainey Markle (Noren-Stone) and I am a Registered Acupuncturist (R.Ac) practicing in the beautiful valley of Grand Forks, BC. I have been working with patients for over a decade now, and am excited to bring my skills back to my hometown. I have extensive experience working with all types of pain and injuries, and am also passionate about helping women prep for childbirth and receive care in the postpartum period. I also am excited to offer Cosmetic Acupuncture treatments, which include Holistic Microneedling, and Nanoneedling – combining my education in holistic wellness with my love for natural skincare. I deeply care about traditional acupuncture, especially the way it looks at the body as a whole, inseparable unit and am excited to share this incredible medicine with others.

I’m a wife and a mother of two wonderful children, and we have one snuggly cat and 5 beautiful hens, so keep very busy when not in the clinic. I love creating things whether it’s baking, gardening, lettering, herbal remedies, or crafts for the kids. We love living a very active lifestyle and are enjoying all the wonderful activities living in this valley offers (skiing, swimming, biking, tennis, pickleball, hiking, running – there’s so many wonderful things to do here!). If you have any recommendations on local trails to check out, please let me know!

I look forward to getting to know you too,

Lainey

The Clinic

Grand Forks Acupuncture operates out of the Red Brick Studio in Grand Forks, BC. This local heritage building used to be a general store, and has been lovingly remodeled into a beautiful studio that maintains its charm and calming presence. It’s a large studio, so screens are used to create treatment rooms and provide privacy.

There is ample parking in front of the building. To enter the studio climb up the couple steps to the veranda; the doors are in the center with planters on either side. (NOTE: Do not climb the stairs to the right of the veranda – those go to private residences.) Please remove your shoes before entering the studio (feel free to bring slippers or socks if you wish), and go through the double doors. I will greet you at your appointment time, but if I’m running late, please wait on the bench through the doorway to the left of the main doors and I’ll collect you as soon as I can!

If you have any questions about how to find the clinic, don’t hesitate to reach out and ask.
