Professional, friendly and made me feel at home right away. The Chinese herbs I was prescribed helped immensely with my ovarian cysts and irregular menstrual cycles. Herbs and acupuncture have greatly reduced my stress and anxiety and increased my motivation to show up to daily life. Highly recommend Agni if you are looking for a holistic practitioner that treats the emotions and trauma stored and connected to the physical body. After acupuncture I feel peaceful, relaxed and more coherent in myself.

Microneedling and facial acupuncture from Dr. Agni has dramatically improved the condition of my skin. I had pretty deep pock-marks along my temples and cheeks and she was honest with me from the beginning, letting me know that it would take around 12 treatments of microneedling to see a big change. I honestly noticed a difference after the first 3 treatments and after 10 the texture of my skin and long-term scarring improved. I see her monthly for microneedling and every 1-2 weeks for AcuFacials which really help relax my jaw tension and with the sagging jowls I am starting to see in middle age. I appreciate Agni for her professionalism: willingness to chat if I am in the mood and calm presence when I just want to zen out. I very much recommend Agni to help you in your acupuncture and skincare journey.

Awesome treatment with Dr. Agni at Unplug Hour Wellness. Highly personable, skilled and made me feel at ease with needles. Chronic upper back and neck tension have definitely improved by miles after the 6 treatments I have had with her so far and I plan on continuing my treatments as I'm definitely addicted to how much looser and pain-free I feel after cupping and acupuncture now. Clinic is calm and serene, can't beat it!

Agni is a very knowledgeable and calm practitioner. She is dedicated to keep herself updated to help her patients. I highly recommend Agni and I am sure that after the 1st visit and treatment with her, anyone can notice the difference and feel her energy.

Agni has the clarity to observe, the sensibility to interact talking with wise knowledge. I specially recommend her acupuncture skills as well as her herbal suggestions. I am pretty sure she is one of the best acupuncturist you will find in BC.

Agni is incredibly knowledgable, with a very strong base in the core classical knowledge of TCM. She is kind, easy to talk to and treats disharmony in the body from multiple angles. I was lucky enough to have her as a teacher while studying acupuncture, and can wholeheartedly recommend her.

I went to see Agni for a series of cosmetic acupuncture treatments last year and really enjoyed my experience. I felt instantly calm upon walking into her treatment room, and felt very safe in her capable hands. Not only did she work her magic to keep my skin looking as glowing as can be, she also includes a body treatment with each cosmetic acupuncture session to help balance your whole system and keep you feeling great. Would highly recommend Agni as a practitioner!

Several years ago, I was a student of acupuncture and Chinese medicine at Pacific Rim College in Victoria where Agni was a clinical supervisor. I studied in an observation clinic setting, where Agni would work on patients as she explained her treatment decisions and methods to the students who were present in the room with her . The patients that came in to the clinic to be treated often experienced powerful sessions and positive results. Agni shared extensive practical and technical knowledge with her students. It was clear she was professional and competant, as well as being passionate about and dedicated to the art of practicing Chinese medicine. Agni is a thorough, insightful, and non- judgemental practitioner. She is a skilled acupuncturist and communicator. I was thrilled to hear about her opening a practice in Vancouver and highly recommend her to anyone seeking Chinese medicine treatments in the area!
