thank you for showing up
You're a whole person, with a full life to be lived. I see how the injuries, accidents and wear and tear of life get in the way of that. Indeed, I've been there too! My goal is to free you up from the discomforts –
stress, aches and pains are unnecessary drain. I want to help you clear things away – mental fog, fatigue, acne, rashes and restlessness should not be weighing you down. My objective is not only to help you feel better after each session, but also to empower you with tools that provide relief between sessions and into your future, when you no longer need me.
I work in the tradition of Chinese medicine and in contemporary somatic healing practices, blending Eastern and Western methods in order to serve you. I have a background in psychology and philosophy, experience in guiding others though somatic breathwork, and training in wholistic, trauma-informed care.
In sessions, I strive to provide a safe container for your being, including mind, body and spirit. As someone who has experienced the many layers of our health care system, I understand how important it is to meet YOU and make space for YOU.
Regular Acupuncture
When you see me for regular acupuncture, I gather detailed information about your health and wellbeing and, as the need arises, I'll assess any injuries, pain or discomfort in your body. I'll check your pulse and your tongue. Together, this information helps me formulate a diagnosis and determine which acupoints are most likely to relieve your symptoms. If you choose a session option that includes acupuncture + bodywork, we'll discuss which modalities (cupping, gua sha, massage, or moxibustion) would support you best in light of your specific health needs.
Acupuncture + Energy Healing
Best experienced! Generally, clients seeking Integrated Energy Work are seeking deeper relief and, possibly, connection with the inner dimensions of their being. Clients will experience a general assessment, including tongue and pulses, and then we flow from there into the beautiful medicine. Needles are applied as needed, and we work within Reiki and other healing energies to nourish every fibre of your being.
Energy Healing
Here we experience the power of who we are in our relationship with the universe. In these sessions, I become a conduit to facilitate your connection with the healing energies within and external to you. Energy healing can be quite catalyzing, helping us to recharge deeply, shift patterns that aren't working for us and access untapped reserves of courage, grace and personal power. I often use healing stones to create a container where such shifts are possible.
