What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that uses very fine needles at specific points on the body. It has been practiced for thousands of years and is increasingly supported by modern research.
It is commonly used for sleep issues, stress and anxiety, chronic pain, headaches, and hormonal symptoms like PMS or painful periods.
At Statera, acupuncture is offered as part of an integrated wellness approach alongside naturopathic care and therapy. Many clients find it deeply relaxing, with little to no discomfort from the thin needles.
Benefits of acupuncture
- Supports deeper, more restful sleep
- Reduces stress, anxiety, and overwhelm
- Helps with headaches, neck pain, back pain, and tight muscles
- Helps regulate cycles and reduce PMS symptoms
- Many clients leave feeling calmer and more grounded
What to expect in a session
Your first session includes a health intake and goal discussion. Needles are placed while you rest comfortably for 20–30 minutes. Most clients find it comfortable and leave feeling relaxed and restored.
What is celluma light therapy?
Celluma is an FDA-cleared LED light therapy that uses specific wavelengths of light to support healing at the cellular level. It’s non-invasive, painless, and backed by clinical research.
Different wavelengths target different concerns:
- Blue light helps with acne and bacteria
- Red light supports skin healing and reduces inflammation
- Near-infrared light penetrates deep to relieve pain and improve circulation
At Statera, Celluma can be used on its own or alongside acupuncture. It’s particularly helpful for chronic pain, inflammation, mood concerns, or as a relaxing add-on to your session.
Benefits of celluma
- Helps calm irritated joints, muscles, and skin
- Improves acne, redness, and skin recovery
- Can support people experiencing low mood or depression
- Helpful for joint pain, muscle soreness, and injuries
- Comfortable treatment with no downtime
What to expect in a session
You lie comfortably while the Celluma device is positioned near the treatment area. Sessions usually last about 30 minutes. There’s no heat, no UV, and no discomfort. Many clients combine it with acupuncture for enhanced results.
How these treatments fit into your care
Acupuncture and light therapy aren’t replacements for therapy or naturopathic medicine. They work best as part of a broader approach to your health.
Many clients choose to combine therapy, naturopathic care, and acupuncture because addressing both physical symptoms and emotional wellbeing often leads to deeper, longer-lasting change.
If you’re already working with a therapist or Dr. Anna, we can coordinate your care so everything supports each other.

Frequently asked questions
Find answers to common questions about acupuncture or celluma light therapy.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Most people feel little to no discomfort. The needles are very thin, much finer than a standard needle, and most clients describe the sensation as a mild pressure or warmth at most. Many people find the experience deeply relaxing and fall asleep during the session.
Is light therapy safe?
Yes. Celluma is FDA-cleared and uses LED light with no UV, no heat, and no discomfort. It is non-invasive and has a strong clinical safety record. It is suitable for most people and skin types.
Are there any side effects?
Acupuncture occasionally causes mild soreness, light bruising, or temporary fatigue after a session. These typically resolve within a day. Celluma has no known side effects for most people. Any concerns will be discussed with you before treatment begins.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on what you are addressing. Some people notice a difference after one or two sessions. Chronic or complex concerns usually benefit from a series of treatments. After your first session we will give you a clearer sense of what to expect for your specific situation.
How long is each session?
Acupuncture sessions typically run 45 to 60 minutes including the intake and resting time. Celluma sessions are around 30 minutes. Combined sessions will be longer. We will let you know what to expect when you book.
Will I feel anything after treatment?
Most clients leave feeling calm, relaxed, and grounded. Some people feel tired and sleep well that night. Occasionally people feel mild soreness in the areas treated with acupuncture. These are normal responses and usually a sign your body is responding.
Are treatments safe during pregnancy?
Acupuncture can be safe during pregnancy but certain points must be avoided. It is important to let us know if you are pregnant or trying to conceive before booking. Celluma light therapy is generally considered safe during pregnancy. We will review your situation before proceeding.
Can I combine these with therapy or naturopathic care?
Yes, and this is often where people get the most benefit. With your permission, your care team at Statera can coordinate so everything works together rather than in isolation.
Is this covered by insurance?
Acupuncture and Celluma light therapy are billed under naturopathic medicine, which is covered by many extended health benefit plans in Ontario. Coverage varies by provider and plan.
