I’ve always been passionate about helping people discover the body’s innate ability to heal and recover through a balanced, holistic approach that integrates both Western and Eastern medicine.

With over a decade of experience in paramedicine, my journey began in acute care, but over time, I found myself drawn to a deeper, more holistic way of treating injury and illness. This led me to pursue Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), where I now specialize in acupuncture to support recovery and overall wellness.

My education in Eastern Medicine has expanded my understanding of health and healing, and I’m passionate about blending this knowledge with the principles of Western medicine to offer a more comprehensive approach to care.

When I’m not in the clinic, you can find me enjoying the great outdoors, particularly mountain biking on the local trails.

If you’re new to acupuncture and curious about its healing benefits, I invite you to book an appointment and explore how acupuncture can help treat both acute and chronic pain, as well as enhance your overall mind-body wellness.

For those already familiar with acupuncture, I’m excited to continue providing the compassionate care you’ve come to expect from one of the oldest healing practices in the world.

I grew up on Gabriola Island and moved to Vancouver in 2001 where I have spent the last 20 years working in all avenues of hospitality and service. Being in the hospitality industry has been a great experience learning so much about people and very useful life skills. I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience in that industry but made the important decision to change my path, and find a field that focuses on physical health and maintenance of the body.

I made the decision to return to school in 2021 and am a recent graduate of the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy school in December of 2022. I am excited to start my career as an RMT and am eager to maintain and develop my skills and knowledge. I look forward to many years as an RMT helping others feel better in their physical body.

In my free time I enjoy music and dancing, learning Spanish, cooking for friends and hopefully very soon traveling the world and experiencing new cultures and cuisines.
