REGISTERED ACUPUNCTURIST

I am a Registered Acupuncturist and a member of the College of Complementary Health Professionals of BC. After a previous career in accounting, I found my way to acupuncture through personal healing process. I bring that lived understanding into every session.

In my humble opinion, acupuncture is mysterious and obvious, rational and irrational, playful and wise, tailored to individual yet so universal all at the same time. It speaks to the body and mind without words. It is a beautiful modality that integrates all aspects of being human - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

Guided by trauma-informed principles, I create space for each client to move at their own pace - physically, emotionally, and energetically. I offer gentle, respectful care that supports the body’s natural healing process without force or pressure. Whether we are addressing pain, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm, I trust the body to guide the process when it feels safe and supported.

What I appreciate most about the trauma-informed approach acupuncture is the way it fosters a genuine partnership between client and practitioner. Side by side, we attune to the quiet beginnings of change - a breath that flows more freely, tension softening its hold, or emotions gently rising to the surface. These moments, sometimes accompanied by tears of release, speak to a profound shift within, reflecting the our innate wisdom and capacity to heal from within.

I work primarily with people navigating trauma, anxiety, emotional stress, women’s health concerns, and the physical expressions of personal transformation. I look forward to ongoing learning and offering care that is attuned, grounded, and steady as long as I can hold a needle in my hand.
