ACUPUNCTURE
Restore balance, ease tension, and support your body's natural ability to heal.
At Thrive Local Wellness in Wabamun, Alberta, we offer acupuncture, a traditional therapeutic practice that uses the gentle insertion of very fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture is used to support pain management, encourage relaxation, and promote overall physical and emotional well-being.
As our bodies and minds navigate the physical, environmental, and emotional stressors of everyday life, acupuncture offers a personalized approach to wellness. Treatments may help relieve muscle tension, manage certain types of pain, reduce stress, and support a greater sense of balance and relaxation.
Whether you're seeking relief from ongoing discomfort, looking for support with stress and tension, or simply making more room for your well-being, each acupuncture session is thoughtfully tailored to your individual needs in a calm, welcoming environment.
Explore our acupuncture services below and take a gentle step toward greater comfort, balance, and well-being.

REIKI SESSION
REIKI
Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive energy healing practice that uses light touch or hands held just above the body to encourage deep relaxation, reduce stress, and support emotional and spiritual well-being.
Rooted in the Japanese tradition of energy healing, Reiki is based on the belief that life energy flows through us and that restoring energetic balance can encourage a greater sense of peace and harmony. Each session offers a calming space to release everyday tension, quiet the mind, and reconnect with yourself.
CUPPING SESSION
CUPPING
Cupping Therapy is a traditional healing technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that uses glass, plastic, or silicone cups placed on the skin to create gentle suction. This technique helps encourage circulation, release muscle tension, and support the body's natural recovery processes.
By gently lifting the skin and underlying tissues, cupping may help ease areas of tightness, reduce muscular discomfort, and improve mobility. Each treatment offers a therapeutic approach to relieving tension, promoting relaxation, and supporting overall physical well-being.
Doctor of Acupuncture | Reiki Master | Subconscious Imprinting Practitioner
Jacqueline Schelpe
Hello, I'm Jacqueline, but most people call me Jackie!
I'm a Doctor of Acupuncture, a graduate of MacEwan University, and an active member of the College of Acupuncturists of Alberta. I'm also a Reiki Master and Subconscious Imprinting Practitioner, bringing together my training and passion for holistic wellness to support the mind, body, and soul.
My approach to care is rooted in the belief that true wellness goes beyond simply addressing symptoms. I believe in taking the time to understand the underlying patterns and imbalances that may be contributing to how you're feeling, and creating a personalized treatment experience that supports your body's natural healing processes.
Through acupuncture and my complementary holistic practices, my goal is to help you find greater peace, balance, and harmony, while creating a welcoming space where you feel heard, supported, and cared for.
A little about me beyond the treatment room...
I grew up on the beautiful coast of British Columbia, where my love for the ocean and beach began. I'm happiest with a good dark roast coffee, a piece of dark chocolate, or spending time enjoying yoga, essential oils, and a cozy bonfire.
I'm happily married to my wonderful husband, Adam, and together we have two amazing teenage stepsons and a much-loved kitty named George. 🤍
After many years of building my acupuncture practice in Leduc, Alberta, my husband and I recently made the move to the Lac Ste. Anne area. We're excited to put down roots, become part of this wonderful community, and build new connections along the way.
I'm grateful for the opportunity to continue my practice at Thrive Local Wellness in Wabamun and look forward to getting to know the people and families who call this area home.
Wherever you are on your wellness journey, I look forward to meeting you right where you're at. 🤍
