I came to Armin with a long list of issues, which I believe most stemed from constipation, which was very bad over the year or so before, but also always mildly there for about 20 years. I saw Armin for about 6 months before moving away from Vancouver..in that time A LOT of my symptoms have resolved, but most importantly my digestion is working so much better than it ever did!! I don't remember myself having such regular bowels daily ever. It's been few months, and I am noticing that my hormonal issues are also resolving. I dont' really know how this all works, but Armin is magical! He is a healer!

I was referred to Armin via a friend who had cancer. This was the reason I contacted Armin. Without a doubt, thru his acupuncture and his nutritional recommendations put me on the right track. Did have cancer that was treated with chemo which causes many side effects, and Armin was able alleviate a lot of them. Western medicine only does so much. Armin may not have the total solution for all his patients, but for sure he will go all the way to try and solve whatever ailment you may have. My sessions are now over with him , and just hope it stays that like that in a good way, as he has put me on the right track. Cheers gordon

(A bit delayed review) I was attended by Armin at Essence Acupuncture & wellness after I found myself struggling to move and eventually bed-ridden due to severe lower back pain. I had tried massages, chiropractic sessions physiotherapy but it was all proving to be temporary fix. I am so glad I was recommended Armin and I decided to give acupuncture a try for the first time. He is patient in listening and understands well the root causes. His treatment was gentle and effective. Felt positive effects in just two sessions. I respect his knowledge and careful attention. Highly recommend him.

It is very rare to find a dedicated, knowledgeable and gifted alternative medicine health practitioner. We are very lucky to have found Armin to treat and improve our very tricky and complex issues. We would recommend him to anyone who needs a very experienced and authentic acupuncturist or other non-invasive alternative methods of healing.

Armin is the most compassionate and genuine person. He is one of the first practitioners I have seen who takes the time to understand what is going on and explore how he can help you. He has a honest care for you and your well-being, it shows in the sessions he does. I have been suffering with ear and head concerns and Armin has been encouraging through my struggling and has helped me to improve. I would recommend him to anyone seeking healing and wants to see a practitioner who cares about the person.

I have been Armins client for many years. He has helped me with all aspects of my health, physical, mental and spiritual. Through his skillfully applied treatments, along with coaching for more balance in my daily life, he has enabled me to take charge of my own well being better than ever before. He is the go to resource for health care for my partner and grown kids, and we are so grateful to have met him.

Armin has helped me overcome a variety of different issues I've had. He is my go to for acupuncture and TCM health care the past 5 years. I trust everything he's done and and he worked with me when mainsteam medicine didn't help me by pushing pills. Sometimes you just have to own the pain and suffering you have caused yourself, caused by overworked and stress, poor diet, whatever it is, Armin has treated me with respect and helped me get some balance back in my life physically and mentally. Thank you Armin! Peter E

I have recommended Armin to several friends and family who lead busy lives and have difficulty coping either emotionally or physically. Personally for me, I experienced wellness outcomes after recieving treatment mainly letting go and assertiveness. This in turn reduced physical symptoms that were chronic. Armin takes the time to listen to the root of the problem and not just symptoms. Very comforted to know I can access this to maintain overall health and wellness.

I came to Armin through a friend’s recommendation. For several years now, I continue to benefit greatly from Armin’s skill as do both of my children. Armin is a very knowledgeable wholistic healer who never stops learning! I am eternally grateful for his care and grace and delighted to recommend him.

Armin is an excellent healer. He is an acupuncturist with vision, experience, sensitivity and knowledge. His approach is very human, kind and professional. I am very grateful for all that he has helped me, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Essence acupunture and wellness is a space of light and healing. I highly recommend him.
