A small practice,
deliberately small.
Saud Malakhail, R.Ac.
Saud Malakhail is a Registered Acupuncturist (R. Ac.) with a passion for helping others improve health and well-being. He holds a Bachelor of Life Sciences degree from McMaster University, where his interest in the human body and desire to help others first began.
What drew Saud to Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture was its focus on restoring balance and addressing underlying patterns rather than only masking symptoms. In addition to supporting existing health concerns, he also discusses preventative approaches to maintaining wellness when appropriate.
Throughout his practice, Saud has worked with patients experiencing a wide range of concerns, including insomnia, anxiety, stress-related disorders, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, musculoskeletal pain and injuries, headaches, digestive concerns, and more. He also has a clinical interest in supporting patients with metabolic and chronic health concerns — including discussions related to blood sugar, blood pressure, weight management, and fatigue — always as complementary care. Speak with the practitioner to determine whether treatment may be appropriate for you. Responses to treatment vary.
Saud is known for a thorough diagnostic approach. Following graduation, he pursued advanced training in assessment methods including Pulse Diagnosis, Biofeedback, and Meridian Balancing techniques. He also incorporates systems such as Master Tung Acupuncture, Korean Meridian Acupuncture, Yin-Yang Balancing, Four Needle Technique, and the Balance Method. A treatment plan may be discussed following an assessment.
When appropriate, Saud combines acupuncture with complementary therapies such as cupping, moxibustion, gua sha, auricular acupuncture, and individualized diet and lifestyle counseling.
Saud is committed to ongoing education and continually refines his clinical skills by studying advanced acupuncture techniques and diagnostic systems.
