What Patients Commonly Share About Their Experience at Yinstill
Across years of patient feedback and shared reflections, a few themes come up consistently:
- More than clinical care: many describe feeling steadied, supported, and held – especially during uncertainty, loss, or major transitions.
- A calm, welcoming environment: people often notice the atmosphere and the intentional pace of care.
- Feeling safe and oriented: from the physical space to how appointments unfold, patients commonly feel respected, grounded, and clearly guided.
- Whole-person support: many share that they’re met as a whole individual – not reduced to symptoms, diagnoses, or timelines.
- Relational and consistent care: patients often describe a steady practitioner relationship, with care that adapts as needs evolve.
- Shifts beyond the physical: some reflect on changes in emotional wellbeing, self-trust, and confidence in their bodies over time.
- A steady place to return to: for some, Yinstill becomes a consistent support during a particularly tender chapter of life.

I recommend Erin for your first time acupuncture
Erin Flynn is a true professional and an incredibly caring person. I first started seeing her more than seven years ago to assist with stomach cramps, when she was still a student. After my first meeting with her I knew that it was an amazing gift that I had found her.
Good Energy
Sean’s lighthearted energy and gentle needling always have me feeling relaxed and receptive for treatment. I find myself smiling during our interactions. He’s very thorough and is always curious about how to support my cycle through acupuncture.
It was such a relief to be treated as a whole person
It was such a relief to be treated as a whole person after encountering the detachment of the Western Medical approach.
I had been trying to conceive for 3 years when I decided to try acupuncture after having some small spots of endometriosis removed.
Even the bathroom is so inspiring!
Yesterday was the first time I visited the washroom at Yinstill. The moment I open the door and began looking around at all the hopeful positive messages I felt at ease. Surrounded by others’ struggles and stories of happiness calmed me in a lasting way.
Healthy Baby Boy!
Before visiting Spence, I felt so alone, frustrated, disappointed and sad every month when my cycle would start yet again. Almost all my friends, family and close co-workers were pregnant / having babies. I was surrounded by all these lucky people who didn’t have any problems conceiving so it was hard to find someone to talk to who really understood the ups and downs of what I was going through.
Deeply knowledgeable and sincerely caring
Deeply knowledgeable and sincerely caring, Dr. Fisher and the team at Yinstill have been wonderful.
I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reproductive wellness professionals.

Healthy Baby Girl !
I received acupuncture in the late Spring of 2008 at your centre in an attempt to conceive my first child. I wanted to let all of the wonderful staff know that I successfully conceived in June and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl in February 2009.
Not pregnant but you made such a difference in my life…
I want to thank you so much for all your care and attention to my treatment, I know it has made a big difference, and in particular in the last few months, you are truly gifted in knowing what people need,
migraines during pregnancy
I’ve been coming to Yinstill for a few months now (during my first trimester) for migraines. When you walk in, there is such a calm and relaxing atmosphere that even my husband has commented on it!
I cannot recommend Spence enough!
My husband and I had been casually trying to get pregnant for about a year. As part of a journey into more holistic living and alternative medicine, I researched more about how acupuncture could support my fertility and found Spence Pentland.
