Access acupuncture has been absolutely AMAZING for my husband and I, specifically when trying to get pregnant! We were struggling to get pregnant and going through ivf we heard great feed back regarding acupuncture so we thought we’d give it a try. We met with Julie and James and they both have been nothing but AMAZING! Julie gave us both meal plans to follow that would help while trying to conceive and gave us every tool possible every step of the way. Julie has been so accommodating and such a cheer leader for me through this process, she’s truly a beautiful soul and I can’t thank her enough for all she has done for me! James was working with my husband and he also has been wonderful! Highly recommend! James was so accommodating, kind and gave great comfort for both of us during each visit. Right when you walk in the building you immediately get this calm feeling and you are immediately greeted with such kind smiles. You get to relax in your choice of very comfy chairs while they make the room all cozy for you for your visit. My husband and I live an hr from this clinic and we could easily go to acupuncture in our own town but I could never go to another acupuncturist after going to Julie & James, they truly are the very best!

Really grateful for discovering Julie through a recommendation - It was amazing to see the difference just 1 session made and I am looking forward to seeing more improvements in coming weeks.

James successfully treated me for frozen shoulder and the associated inflammatory changes in my scapula. I so appreciate his professionalism and pleasant manner. Thank you James!

This was my first time trying acupuncture at all - I was trying to get some help for ongoing sleep issues. Huge thanks to James for his excellent service that has helped me so much! His attention to detail and treatments have been essential in helping me turn my sleep around. I highly recommend this clinic and James as an acupuncturist!

I am super new to acupuncture and naturopathy and really appreciates James' approach to it. He explained thoroughly what he was doing and how it should help. The calm atmosphere and music were a great addition to an amazing treatment! Highly reccommend

Do not waste your money on this place if you are looking for instant relief! My boyfriend and I both saw James for neck and low back pain. We have had acupuncture many times and have had positive results instantly. James decided to poke us with needles in our scalp, between fingers, toes, knees and forehead. He did not even try to touch the problematic areas. He told me that we should feel instant relief once he “finds the pressure point” but in the same breath said that “we could feel results in a day”. I am upset that I wasted my last dollars in my benefits package on this place.

I visited Julie for help with a sports injury and for general wellness. Safe to say I was impressed with her depth of knowledge, thoroughness, and clear communication throughout the treatment. I left feeling a dramatic reduction in my symptoms and like I had spent a day at the spa! I was also given clear guidelines for homecare. Treatment was provided in a warm friendly environment and I will definitely be going back!

I first found out about this company and James while at a Health and Wellness show in April 2025. I was skeptical as I sat in the chair and received a 5-minute treatment for a foot pain issue I was having. I was gobsmacked when it worked….my foot pain was gone! After 1.5 years. Mind blown!! This relief lasted for many days and there’s just a periodic reoccurrence of the issue but the pain does not last for long at all and it’s much more mild. The Balance Method is an incredible concept and I’m glad I met James and had success!! I booked an appt in-office and received a full treatment for different issues and left feeling very satisfied and relaxed. Thanks James!! Also, since I don’t actually live in NS, James went out of his way to locate some feasible options for treatment for me to try near where I live in BC and sent me a detailed email with the information. I very much appreciate that! I definitely recommend Access Acupuncture in Dartmouth. James is knowledgeable and very pleasant to deal with.
