About Kristina

Dr. Kristina Engel is a passionate Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Dr. TCM) and Registered Acupuncturist (R.Ac.) with a rich background in natural medicine and an unwavering dedication to healing. She finds deep purpose and honour in practising the world’s oldest living medicine — a system that respects the body’s innate wisdom and capacity to restore balance. As the visionary behind Acupuncture Sound Healing, Dr. Engel uniquely integrates acupuncture with the powerful vibration of quartz singing bowls and tuning forks. This harmonious fusion of frequency and needlework, also known as Acutonics, offers a truly transformative experience, unmatched elsewhere in the city. A certified Master Herbalist, Reflexologist, and Iridologist, Dr. Engel’s work is rooted in both science and spirit. Her decade-long experience as a professional acrobat and yoga instructor brings a profound understanding of movement, alignment, and energy flow to her treatments, enriching her holistic approach. Dr. Engel is highly skilled in fertility care and women’s health, Dr. Engel supports each patient with compassion and personalized guidance. She also offers cosmetic acupuncture facials and microneedling, artfully blending ancient techniques with modern skincare to rejuvenate both inner and outer beauty. Dr. Engel commonly treats a variety of conditions such as; IBS, stress, mental and emotional health, pain & musculoskeletal issues, immune and respiratory conditions, hormone balancing (for both men and women), sleep conditions and many more. Each treatment is personalized, because she firmly believes there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to medicine. Known for her warm-hearted nature and genuine kindness, Kristina creates a safe and nurturing environment where healing can unfold naturally. She considers it a privilege to walk alongside others on their path to wellness. When not in the clinic, you’ll find her hiking in the mountains with her dog, recharging in nature’s quiet rhythm. Kristina is also fluent in French and Spanish.
