What Blue Frog Wellness Is All About

We all encounter struggles in life; be it physical aches and pains, mental or emotional difficulties. Although these struggles likely have purpose, Blue Frog Wellness firmly believes that we don’t have to suffer in life as much as we do. Underlying all physical, mental and emotional issues are weaknesses in our energy which are preventing the smooth flow of life. 

There are a number of tools that allow Blue Frog Wellness to identify energetic blockages and weaknesses and to shift them, facilitating a change within you. Our aim is to reduce your suffering on all levels and allow you to thrive in life, opposed to merely surviving! 

Blue Frog Wellness utilizes multiple methods of treatment that synergistically facilitate the natural healing process within you.

I’m Vanessa Ebertz, Dr. Ac

Doctor of Acupuncture • Founder of Blue Frog Wellness • Creator of the Ear Acupuncture Resilience (EAR) Program

I help people restore balance when stress, trauma, and life transitions have disrupted their nervous system, supporting lasting resilience and well-being.

Born and raised east of Edmonton, Alberta, I began my studies at Mount Royal University in Calgary, focusing on Athletic Therapy, and went on to complete a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Calgary in 2005, with the majority of my coursework concentrated in Kinesiology. I then pursued the Acupuncture Program at MacEwan University, graduating in Edmonton in 2012. In addition, I am a certified Yuen Method Practitioner (2011), trained to help individuals identify and release energetic blocks that may impact their well-being.

My work integrates Traditional Chinese Medicine, modern neuroscience, and trauma-informed care. I combine evidence-informed acupuncture with personalized, intuitive guidance so you feel supported, understood, and empowered in your own healing journey.
