I am a registered acupuncturist in good standing with the College of Complementary Health Professionals of British Columbia (CCHPBC) and a summa cum laude graduate of Pacific Rim College. I received my Level 2 Reiki Practitioner certificate from Sister Eileen Curteis at Queenswood Holistic Healing and Spirituality Society in 2007. I also hold a B.Sc. in Linguistics and Psychology from the University of Victoria.
My personal journey into alternative medicine began over 20 years ago. As a competitive softball player I often found myself travelling for various games and tournaments. It was after one such event I became very ill. After months of investigation I was finally diagnosed with a rare parasite and was treated with a strong medication. Little did I know this was going to have a profound effect on my overall health for years to come.
After this treatment which was meant to "cure" me, everything started to get worse. While the medication had killed my parasite, it had also destroyed my immune system, my digestive system, and my endocrine system. I was then left on my own to find a way to fix the cure. This is when I discovered acupuncture.
Acupuncture gave me my life back and after regular treatments I finally started to feel like myself again. I was amazed at the difference that a few needles could make on my health. And just like that I was hooked!
Acupuncture can be used to treat a wide range of health disharmonies and I would love to help you find peace and balance within your body. Although I operate a general practice, I have a professional interest in the following areas:
Stress Management and Sleep
Skin Conditions
Digestion and Abdominal Issues
Pain Management
