We are reminding your body how to heal itself
In Chinese Medicine, balance is the most state of physical, mental and emotional equilibrium. Balance is achieved when Qi (“chee”), the energy that gives the body life, flows freely through your body.
We all get lopsided from time to time – we work too much, strain a muscle, get depressed, have challenges with family, feel tired, have trouble conceiving, have surgery, have addictions – and acupuncture helps to bring us back to a dynamic state of balance.
Acupuncture is a part of the age-old Chinese medical system that uses needles to stimulate Qi. Western science has proven accupuntures effectiveness in treating many illnesses. Balanced Health offers a holistic Eastern approach to health that is an effective compliment to Western medicine.
No physical part of the body is more important than the other: we are a complete package and we need to respect and value ourselves. When we are free of stress, we become more open and able to hear the messages that our body gives us everyday.
OUR TREATMENTS
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine For Women
Ancient roots
Using acupuncture to balance your Qi, as well as any of the following if recommended by your practitioner:
***If you are interested in a bioenergetic “mini scan” to treat your main symptoms with an imprinted remedy, please inquire at the start of your session.
Bioenergetic Healing
Quantum flow
With the assistance of an electromagnetic scanning device, this non-invasive, holistic approach aims to assess the body’s energy patterns to identify imbalances, stressors and potential root cause of issues. Available as an in-person visit in conjunction with Acupuncture or done virtually (through a hair and saliva sample), without you needing to be present.
Gain invaluable insight and information from your “innate intelligence”, to create personalized solutions that aid the body in returning to a state of homeostasis.
Pediatric Acupuncture
12 and under
By tapping into our children’s own ability to heal themselves, we can influence their health in a very profound way. Our focus is to help children grow into stronger, healthier, more confident and balanced adults. Needles or non-needle techniques are available if your child is not yet comfortable.
Facial Acupuncture
Indulgence meets healing
At Balanced Health we combine our Phytomer anti-aging spa facial with Constitutional Facial Acupuncture Renewal to reduce the signs of aging in the face and neck, improving circulation, skin radiance and facial tone. Deeper lines and muscles are naturally minimized by stimulating collagen and elastin production.
Shilo graduated from the Alberta College of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine in 2007 and founded Balanced Health in Invermere, BC. Her practice has evolved organically through lived experience, intuitive learning, and a deep trust in the body’s innate wisdom.
Becoming a mother in 2011 drew Shilo into pediatric acupuncture, and her own health journey in 2024 led her to bioenergetic scanning—an initiation into the quantum field, where healing, possibility, and transformation exist beyond the physical. This experience reinforced her belief that life unfolds for us, not to us.
Now trained in bioenergetic scanning with Qest4, Shilo offers this work in person—often woven with acupuncture—or virtually as its own powerful modality. She is honoured to support others in reconnecting with balance, clarity, and their natural healing potential.

“I feel blessed to have discovered such an intuitive acupuncturist. This is first class medicine. Thanks Shilo!”
Vicky Anderson
Acupuncture Facial
Shilo is the best! She uses premium natural products and mixes acupuncture with a facial treatment targeted at relaxing your laugh lines and wrinkles. During the treatment you are lying on a detoxifying mud treatment and prior to that she does cupping on your back. It’s the full meal deal. I would absolutely recommend this!

So grateful to have found Shilo at Balanced Health. She is an incredibly intuitive and powerful healer who is already helping me get my health back on track on so many levels. The type of practitioner that when you find them you’ll drive hours out of the way to get to appointments. Thanks Shilo!

Engaging in Shilo’s Acupuncture Face Lift Program is a delightful and positive experience. Yes it does work and is my treat to myself for quitting my tobacco addiction. My skin is healthier, glowing and I love the products used. They are of a very high quality and only a very small amount is needed to maintain my skin on a daily basis. Shilo is my first call if my body needs help but I am loving this side of acupuncture as well.
