Registered Acupuncturist, TCM Practitioner Completed Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine in British Columbia.

Practices Acupuncture, Electro-Acupuncture, Guasha and Cupping Therapy.

Special interest in treating musculoskeletal pain, effectively providing instant pain relief. Also proficient in managing stress, anxiety, depression (including postpartum depression), headache, migraines, insomnia, digestive issues, bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, as well as menstrual, perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms.

In my practice, I’m all about bringing harmony to your body and mind through the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). My goal is to assist clients not only in alleviating symptoms but also in cultivating preventive health and vitality by addressing the root causes of imbalance. These imbalances can manifest in various aspects,

Work Imbalance: Working long hours without proper rest. It may lead to musculoskeletal pain, poor digestion, and emotional unrest.

Sleep Imbalance: Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. It can lead to a restless mind, lethargy, heaviness, and poor digestion.

Physical Imbalance: Physical overexertion or poor posture. It may manifest as musculoskeletal pain and emotional unrest.

Digestive Imbalance: Poor diet, excessive alcohol consumption, or eating too much before bedtime. It may manifest as bloating, indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, or restlessness.

Mental Imbalance: Anxiety, stress, overthinking, worry, or depression. It can manifest as irritability, restlessness, insomnia, muscle pain, and digestive disturbances.

The key factors contributing to imbalance may stem from disruptions in energy flow, leading to a deficiency or stagnation in vital energy.

I utilize a variety of TCM techniques to restore balance, promote circulation, and relieve stagnation include acupuncture needling, guasha (scraping), and cupping modalities.

If needles aren’t your thing, no worries! Your comfort is key. I encourage you to discuss your preferences with me so that I can customize a treatment plan to suit your comfort level. Treatment plans are always tailored to the individual’s constitution, symptoms, and underlying imbalances, diagnosed through a thorough clinical assessment, to support overall health and well-being. By harmonizing your body’s natural energy systems, I strive to help you feel your best, both physically and mentally.

Let’s begin your TCM journey to wellness together!
