About the clinic

Welcome! You can also add your name to the wait list and I will be calling everyone on that list as soon as I know my start date. Irina now works full time in Grande Cache (16-20 days a month). You will also notice Manuela Lapraino is available to book at Chetwynd, Mackenzie, and Valemount. It is NOT IRINA working at those locations. Please note there will be a small annual rate increase May 2026 consistent with the rate of inflation. Follow-up appointments will increase to $120 per hr. Initial consults will be amended from 75m to 90m to allow for the intake, a full 1hr treatment & Acugraph reading. Please note appointments with Manuela at locations outside of my home base [Grande Cache] will be $130 to more accurately reflect the costs associated with travel work. Irina offers DIRECT INSURANCE BILLING. Please fill in your billing information in the Intake form. Manuela does not yet have direct billing set up, so you will have to pay upfront and then submit your receipts. When you book, please go to https:/www.sproutacupuncture.ca/what-i-offer for WHAT TO EXPECT during your session! If you cannot find the time you are looking for, please join the WAIT LIST [bottom of the page], especially if you are in the towns less frequently visited. This will allow Manuela to contact you about coming in when a space opens up.Read more about Sprout Acupuncture

Iv been doing acupuncture for 15+ years I absolutely love it. After moving from a city to a small town its sometimes hard to find all your services. I stumbled up this fantastic place and have to say it one of the best treatments i have received. Irina has introduced me to some new treatments in the past couple of visits that have helped my healing process . Irina will take time to ask questions and explain our what's and why's. Enter with a open minded you will love your results

I have always had a great experience with Irina. She really cares about your well-being and uses many different techniques. Her cupping is amazing! I always leave feeling calm and revitalized with much less pain. Highly recommend!

Irina goes above and beyond what I had experienced with other acupuncturists. She is extremely thorough, exceptionally caring and knowledgeable. I had had low grade headaches daily for over a year, since seeing Irina, I haven't been getting headaches. Surprisingly, I've also seen great results with my bladder regulation since seeing Irina. I can't rate Irina high enough or speak more positively about her.

I needed to try something to help get my system on track again. I could feel it was overloaded with the demands of work and raising kids, like so many of us are experiencing. I didn’t know what to expect, as I’ve living with shoulder pain for over 10 years from a work injury. I had massive improvements after my first session with Irina, and they kept improving. Where I was limited in my range of motion, I can now extend myself. I have full range of motion, and way less pain. I’m able to do more activities and not have the pain flare up like it used to. Overall, I have more energy, and I’m sleeping deeper without waking in the night due to pain. It’s wonderful to see how these treatments once a month for the last three months have worked so remarkably fast, and have also sustained the relief between sessions.

I've seen Irina 3 times and a lot has improved. My neck tension is a lot better, I haven't had a migraine or about vertigo again. I even had a weird twitch in my inner eye that's gone. My indigestion has been a problem since I started my menopause stage, now it has improved and I can even eat foods that used to make me run to the washroom. Eating and walking would make me run a couple times, and I'd be so tired after. But now with the herbs she gave me, sometimes I have the opposite problem! This past couple months, my right elbow started to bug me from computer work. Thanks to Irina's acupuncture and cupping treatments, it got way better. I am not really fond of GuaSha but I know it works, so I try my best to tolerate it. I do love the cupping though!

Irina is the best TCM Practitioner I have been to. She is dedicated to healing and helping the human body. She is an incredibly smart, skilled and knowledgeable young lady! Irina is good at helping you understand your body. I always feel relaxed and cared for after an appointment and the herbs have been helping a lot!

Irina is methodical and lives with intention. She bases her treatment plans solely on your care and needs at that time and is a great listener with such a peaceful and calming Ora. I have tried acupuncture and was frankly pretty nervous. Irina was in tune with this and made sure I knew I had nothing to fear. It didn't hurt at all And actually really benifited my body in the healing process as I was struggling with My arm going numb and tingling. I also have had cupping and seen such a drastic improvement a few days after. It felt like a massage as she ran the cups up and down my back. Again zero pain and I left feeling so refreshed and slightly tired from letting all that tension go. She even was able to get into hard areas like my neck and shoulder area. I fully trust her opinion when it comes to my treatment needs and would highly highly recommend her to my closest family and friends. One of the things I valued most was her follow ups and asking how I benefited from the treatments. It was that extra step that let me know she truly cares about the results.

Irina is passionate about her craft and is committed to patient care. She was very clear with what I was to expect with her treatments and I feel she tailored them to what we discussed with every visit. She is caring and extremely kind. Highly recommend her!

Irina goes above and beyond any of my previous acupuncture experiences. She listens carefully and pays attention to all aspects of one's health issues and looks to the whole body and one's current emotional state for answers. She does not promise miracles and is realistic about healing in that it does not happen overnight and requires one's own efforts with her support to make change. I look forward to seeing her for future treatments.

Natalie Ramon · Google · 18 Aug 2022

Irina is one of the most committed practitioners to patient care. She is deeply invested into the patient’s individualized pattern and is dedicated to providing carefully crafted treatment plans to bring about balance and optimize healing outcomes. She works with the patient. I have personally experienced many of her acupuncture and cupping treatments. They’ve helped me relieve muscles aches and pains that I experience from previous manual labour jobs, as well as left me more grounded. She offers diet therapy recommendations and loves to share her knowledge of Chinese Medicine and how to incorporate it in your own life. I highly recommend her!
