Osteopathy is a treatment that focuses on the body as a whole. It uses the idea that the body functions as a unit, not just as separate entities. Osteopathy treats the restriction of motion within the body which is often due to traumatic or postural stress causing muscle tension and pulling on the soft tissues of the body. Our practitioners use specific techniques to improve functions of the body's structure, muscles, tissues, organs, and the movement of bodily fluids. This variety means that a greater scope of conditions can be treated by using osteopathy.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Increasingly, it is being used for overall wellness, sports injuries, as well as stress management.

Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance.

Acusculpting ® is a specialized cosmetic acupuncture system targeting the whole body. This unique protocol is designed to firm, lift, tighten and shape tissues and skin thereby ‘sculpting’ the face and body. Specialized needle protocols, as well as massage, cupping, and gua sha techniques, helps to reduce inches, lift, plump, and change the overall appearance and structure of internal and external layers of the dermis.

Acusculpting® takes a modern approach to a traditional modality. As a holistic whole body treatment, this specialized cosmetic acupuncture protocol balances out hormones and the internal system so patients may also experience better sleep, improved digestion and regular bowel movements all essential for a youthful appearance.

As a graduate from the Toronto School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I have an in-depth knowledge of how the body functions. As an acupuncturist my goal is to improve the functions of the body and promote self-healing through a more natural and holistic way. Alongside needles, there are other modalities of treatment that can be used such as cupping, gua-sha, ear acupuncture, scalp acupuncture and so on to help with healing the body. Acupuncture can treat a variety of conditions ranging from pain, physical injuries to more internal conditions such as anxiety, emotional trauma and so much more.

In addition to being a licensed acupuncturist, having a Kinesiology background allows me to work with a wide variety of clients ranging from athletes to clients that are completely new to the holistic world. Having that flexibility is great when it comes to interacting and working one on one.
I believe that by caring for the body through acupuncture the body can achieve optimal wellness. To me, the mind and body are one entity and when nourished and treated well it can work wonders.

I love meeting people and hearing their stories. It is my goal to be able to help you in your journey of becoming the best version of you.
