About Terilyn

Hi! I'm Terilyn Taker. My passion for healing and offering preventative medicine is deeply rooted in my past. Growing up watching my own parents struggle with illness, I realized that conventional medicine did not have all the answers. Almost completely absent was an emphasis on prevention and I came to recognize that complementary medicine and natural therapies can help to fill this void. In addition to my studies at the Canadian College of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, I also attended and completed my training as a reflexologist with the Atlantic School of Reflexology. By using a variety of different treatment styles and complementary healing practices such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, classical five-element theory, reflexology, abdominal acupuncture, and biofield tuning, I will help guide your body back to a state of balance, by treating You, rather than your symptoms. After graduating with honors, having acquired my Diploma of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, I embarked on my mission to all corners of the province, to share my knowledge and help others overcome health challenges by breaking the patterns of illness that become ingrained in our bodies. I have been a lifelong student of plant medicine and I am currently enrolled in the East West School of planetary herbology based out of California. I am happy to be a registered acupuncturist with the Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine Association of Nova Scotia (ATCMANS). With compassion, humor, and expertise I empower my clients to understand that by embracing their health they themselves can prevent illness and achieve balance in their lives. I look forward to having you join me on this path of discovery. Allow me to teach you some wonderful tools that you will carry with you forever. I am motivated by watching the change that occurs with my clients as they continue on their journey with me to balanced health.

What patients said about Terilyn

Mireille Bourgeois · Google · 7 Jun 2026

“Terilyn has been working in the health sector for many, many years. Her practice is based in hands-on knowledge, education and is patient-led. When I went to her for acupuncture treatments, I was working through heavy life changes and my chronic muscle pain made it difficult to focus on my every day. Terilyn,'s calm energy helped me relax into the treatment and I benefited for weeks afterwards. I recommend her!”

“Prior to meeting terilyn I normalized daily discomfort and only treated chronic pain symptomatically with massage. She introduced me to acupuncture nearly 10 years ago, and at that time I could barely handle a few thousand steps before being throttled by my body. I could not see how every step I take is equally connected to my strongest and my weakest parts. Acupuncture, along with daily mindfulness, connected my brain to parts of my feet, legs, hips, shoulders, fingers that I haven’t used since I was a kid. I don’t limp anymore and now my dog tires out on the trail before I do I believe acupuncture played an equal role in my healing as massage/osteo&chiro did, however only acupuncture forced a calmness and nerve driven sensibility that trained me to understand my pain. This helped me treat every ache, strain, habit and pain individually, towards the common goal of true recovery Thank you terilyn for opening my eyes to my entire body!”

“I've been seeing Terilyn Taker for acupuncture and have had a great experience. I was struggling with disturbed sleep, night sweats, mood swings, high stress levels, and ongoing muscle aches. Terilyn took the time to listen, understand my concerns, and create a treatment plan that addressed my specific needs. Since starting treatment, I've noticed improvements in my sleep, stress levels, and overall well-being. Her professionalism, knowledge, and caring approach make every visit comfortable and relaxing. I highly recommend Terilyn to anyone looking for a holistic approach to improving their health.”

“Terilyn is a fantastic provider! She's very thorough and detailed in understanding what's ailing her clients and has many different methods of Chinese traditional medicine that she can use to help. She's caring, understanding, and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend anyone who is seeking complimentary/alternative treatments for aches and pains or physical discomfort to give Terilyn a try. She worked miracles for my lower back pain and sciatica.”
