Your Trusted Acupuncture & Wellness Partner in Red Deer, AB
Welcome to Steffie K Acupuncture, where we specialize in traditional Chinese medicine to support your journey toward optimal health. With over nineteen years of clinical experience, I graduated from the Academy of Classical Oriental Sciences in Nelson, British Columbia, after completing their rigorous five-year program in 2005. My career began with an extensive internship at Evergreen Acupuncture under the late Dr. David Chu, followed by private practice in central Alberta and international work. My expertise extends to herbal medicine formulation, developed through collaborations with an independent label in Australia.I approach care holistically, integrating acupuncture, herbal medicine, diet therapy, and mindful movement to address acute injuries, chronic pain, stress-related conditions, and womens health concerns. My philosophy centers on enabling individuals to live fully by restoring balance through mind-body medicine. I currently practice at Flying Turtle TCM Acupuncture and Massage in Red Deer, Alberta, offering direct billing for major insurance providers.

Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles at specific points to regulate qi flow, alleviate pain, and restore bodily function. This evidence-based practice addresses musculoskeletal pain, stress, and chronic conditions by stimulating the bodys natural healing processes through targeted meridian points.
Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulas balance individual constitutions and treat internal imbalances. Using time-tested combinations of plant-based ingredients, this therapy supports digestive health, hormonal regulation, and immune function while complementing other treatments like acupuncture and dietary adjustments.
Cupping and Gua Sha
Cupping and Gua Sha improve circulation and release muscle tension by creating controlled microtrauma to stimulate healing. These techniques draw stagnant blood and toxins to the surface, reducing inflammation and accelerating recovery for conditions like back pain and respiratory issues.
Diet Therapy
Diet therapy evaluates digestive health to optimize nutrient absorption and elimination. Personalized dietary plans align with traditional Chinese medicine principles, addressing food sensitivities, metabolic imbalances, and systemic inflammation to enhance overall wellness.
Qi Gong
Qi Gong combines breathwork and gentle exercises to improve energy flow, flexibility, and mental clarity. This practice strengthens the body-mind connection, reduces stress, and supports recovery from chronic illness through structured movement sequences.
