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.

The stories shared below are individual reflections. They are not predictions or guarantees – just personal experiences offered by those who have chosen to share what their time with us has meant to them.

20 YEAR JOURNEY COMPLETED!

Wow, I’m not sure where to begin, I think the title alone says a lot. I just wish I had learned about Spence a lot sooner. I first learnt of Spence from a flyer in the waiting room of the IVF office in the fall of 2008.

Junko helped regulate my cycle and conceive!

I went to Yinstill and saw Junko weekly in an effort to regulate my hormones and cycles when my husband and I were trying to conceive. Her warm and professional demeanour made me feel comfortable from the start (important as I had never been to acupuncture before) and it was relieving to have someone to talk to along our fertility journey.
