FIND YOUR BALANCE 

Igniting the bodies healing wisdom

PRACTICE

PHILOSOPHY

As a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Licensed Acupuncturist and Certified Yoga teacher, I believe in the body's own inherent ability to heal. I strive to be a catalyst of change and growth to empower people to take charge of their own health. The premise and wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine is that by bringing the  body/mind/spirit into balance, health follows; If there is disease, there is imbalance. I help facilitate this through Acupuncture, Chinese herbs, Nutritional Counselling, Cupping, Moxa and Yoga.

My areas of specialty and focus are in Women's health (PMS, Menopause, Fertility etc.) As well as Allergies, Skin conditions, Digestive concerns and Autoimmunity. Of course I also work with the many varied issues that TCM is known for: Pain, sleep, stress management, anxiety etc.

"When you touch one thing with deep awareness,
 you touch everything.

PHILOSOPHY
INITIAL TCM CONSULTATION

Join me for an Initial Consultation and Acupuncture session. This appointment is one and a half to two hours long. We will go over all of your concerns and goals, your entire health history as well as a comprehensive TCM intake and evaluation. The session will end with your first Acupuncture treatment.

COST: $185.00

ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is one of the foremost tools I use in my practise. Your follow up sessions will be an hour long and every treatment is based on your individual constitution, current health paradigm and will change as we progress.

COST: $95.00

CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE
TCM NUTRITION

Chinese Herbal Medicine is integral to my practise. The beauty of Chinese Herbs is they are based on each individuals constitution and current health. The formula given will change over time as you progress and your needs change.

 

Herbal Medicine typically costs $20-150 and will be prescribed as part of your treatment, if necessary (this is dependant on the formula used and the cost of the herbs included)

TCM Nutrition is all about what your individual body needs at this present time. This changes over the course of a year with the seasons as well as with what is happening internally with hormones, emotions, stress etc. Food is Medicine. Although this is always an important part of working with my clients I will also see people for this service alone if a deeper assessment or meal program is required. 

TCM Nutrition Consult: $150

ABOUT ME

First and foremost I am a daily mamma warrior to my two wonderful boys! I am also a passionate student of the healing Arts and an artist at heart. I bring over fifteen years of experience in the Health and Wellness field to my practise. After undergraduate studies at Mount Royal and The University of Calgary, I studied Traditional Chinese Medicine in Victoria at The Canadian College of TCM. We were lucky to have learnt under some of the most sought after experts in the field. Over the years my passion for the healing arts has only deepened and I have continued my studies within TCM, immersing myself in various specialties. I also received my Yoga Teacher training at the Sivananda Ashram in Kerala, India. This was a four week intensive, residential program based on the Gurukula system, where teacher and student live together immersed in Yogic lifestyle. This is my life’s work, my thirst for knowledge within this field runs deep and the learning will never end.

 

My most informative teacher has always been my own healing journey, as well as that of my patients. My life path has been guided by chronic health problems since childhood, I know viscerally the challenge of living with chronic illness. I have been blessed with these issues as they have led me on a path of self discovery I am not sure I would have been on, to the depth that I have, without. I have a history of Allergies, Eczema, Asthma, Arthritis, and Alopecia Universalis (hair loss over the entire body). It is through Chinese Medicine, Nutrition, Yoga, Meditation and Naturopathy/Functional Medicine that I have found healing time and again. I believe many chronic illnesses can be helped through these modalities and I feel inspired when I think of the relief I can help bring to those that are suffering. This path is not easy and takes work on the part of the patient but I believe this is the gift of illness; connection with your true self and residing within your body as it desires.
