Tara Akuna R.Ac.
Registered Acupuncturist
Hi, I’m Tara —an acupuncturist in Waterloo who believes healing happens best with the right support and a bit of laughter along the way.
I use this simple (but seriously powerful) practice that’s been around for over 2,000 years to help you reconnect with how you want to feel. Whether you're feeling off, stuck, or just plain tired, I’m here to help guide the process. I truly believe you are the medicine—with a little direction (and a few tiny needles), your body knows exactly what to do.
Let’s ease you back into wellness, one relaxing session at a time.

About
Hi, I’m Tara!
I’m a Registered Acupuncturist in Ontario (CTCMPAO) and have been practicing since 2012. I live in Kitchener-Waterloo with my partner and our four kids, so I totally get what it’s like to juggle a full life—and how important it is for any treatment plan to be simple, practical, and actually doable.
In our sessions, I use acupuncture to help ease pain (often right away), balance hormones, calm stress, boost digestion, support your immune system, and more. My approach is gentle, honest, and rooted in the belief that your body knows how to heal—with the right kind of support.
I’m endlessly curious and always learning new techniques and tools to bring into our work together. If something outside of acupuncture could help support your healing, I’ll share it. I love helping people feel more like themselves—calm, energized, and back in their flow.
