I am a Dr. of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), And I am SO happy you are looking to find balance and health in your life!

 

From a very young age, I knew I wanted to help others. Growing up with a chronically ill mother I was exposed to the medical system on a daily basis. Growing up around painkillers and prescriptions,  doctors and homecareworkers,  studying nursing seemed like the obvious career path.

​

 Having worked in long term and palliative care facilities, as well as home care and doctor’s offices, I have witnessed people in all stages of health, illness, birth, and death.  Through my experiences, I saw that while conventional medical therapies did save many lives, there was a disturbing trend of over -medicating and under- nourishing. I came to a troubling conclusion; the system I was working for was not, in fact, a health care system but rather an illness treatment system.  I wondered “Why not try to maintain one’s health BEFORE illness, rather than wait until it was too late?”

​

My search for a more holistic form of medicine brought me to MacEwan University’s Acupuncture program, and while reading my first text on the modality,  I knew I had found my Dharma (life’s purpose).

 

I  am excited to bring my experience in conventional medicine, my love of eastern philosophy, and passion for natural healing to the residents of Sherwood Park and greater Edmonton area. I strive to bring you a unique, heartfelt and gentle healing experience specialized to address and balance the WHOLE person, body, mind, and spirit.
