I absolutely loved Skye, she was very helpful in showing my partner and I pressure points to help us in labour for our baby boy. I will definitely be recommending her to my friends and family who are starting their families and pregnant. My partner and I were very satisfied with our skype call today and we were given very straight forward and excellent information we will be using. Thank you Skye!!

I have seen Skye in the past for many things mostly stress and anxiety. I'm always amazed at how quick her treatments work. Yesterday I went in with a migraine headache and chronic neck tension I had been experiencing for a week and she got rid of it all with just a few painless needles in less than 10 minutes. Acupuncture is amazing and so is Skye.

I have been having chronic pain for 15 months now. She has been successful in identifying some of the causes and providing some pain relief.

Skye is an excellent acupuncturist. I had lower back issues for years and my treatments with Skye were the only thing that solved it. Now I see her for pre and post race treatments. I’d highly recommend Skye.

Amazing results. I had acupuncture treatments from my physio in the past for lower back issues and it really hurt so I was super nervous about trying it again. Skye was incredibly gentle. Not only was the treatment not painful i left feeling the most relaxed I had felt in years.

Skye helped get my irregular cycle back on track, balance my hormones, and provided me with all the information I needed to help become pregnant as soon as possible. Within a few months I became pregnant and made a friend. Skye is kind, caring, and shows interest into your own life. I will definitely be back for all other symptoms that arise in my life. Thanks again!!

Two of my good friends had become pregnant after seeing Skye for just a few months. I was skeptical about acupuncture and Chinese medicine but after having another miscarriage I felt I had nothing to lose. From the get go Skye put my mind at ease. She is extremely knowledgeable and I was surprised at how much she investigated into my health and pointed out things that my doctor's just ignored. After a few months of treatment I was feeling better than I had in years. I conceived and and I am now full term in my pregnancy. I don't think I would of got here without Skye. She is truly amazing

For close to 20 years I have suffered anxiety. Over the last two years, anxiety has started to take it's toll on my body causing frequent and severe tension headaches, facial numbness and this past summer a "globus sensation" in my throat (it felt like I had a lump in my throat everytime I swallowed, only I didn't); my medical doctor told me it was caused by the severe neck tension. For me, the globus was my body's loud message that I needed to deal more effectively with the underlying cause: anxiety. I began to see Dr. Van Munster who, through acupuncture, chinese herbs and dietary changes, helped put my body back into balance. I can honestly say that of the treatments I have sought (including therapy, antidepressants (which made it worse), massage) she has made the greatest difference in my life. Of course, I sill have episodes of anxiety. But they are not as a severe which I attribute in part to my energy levels; I now have the energy to deal more effectively with issues as they arise. I also experience less brain fog, a symptom which itself can cause anxiety! I will continue to use my other tools (therapy, meditation). And now, acupuncture with Dr. Van Munster is a big part of my treatment plan. So thank you Dr. Van Munster!! Your knowledge, dedication, kindness and professionalism has made such a difference in my life.
