Community Health

Since officially opening her practice in 2009, I have worked with many incredible folks as they have transitioned into better health and mind body awareness. As many practitioners do, I began this practice as a patient discovering first hand how I can reformat patterns, experience less pain, and improve my quality of life. It has been the greatest investment of time, resources and spirit. 

Educator

When I was a kid, I would visit my dad's school on Saturdays, run the blue ink stencil machine, write on the chalk board, teach my little sister something about the little I knew of life. It was, as I later learned in my dad's English class, foreshadowing. From filmmaking to pleasure focused sexual education workshop facilitator, I have shared my time and knowledge to support individuals and communities.

Producer

There have been many productions over the years that I have had the pleasure and privilege to bring to the public. These days it’s all Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine workshops all the time! She teaches practitioners basic and advanced cupping skills as well as Gua Sha. I also work with local and international speakers to offer workshops advancing local practitioners to better serve their clients.

Community Builder 

In addition to producing workshops, talks, teaching and treating, I have joined fellow practitioners to form TCMO.ca. Established to create public awareness, and provide education about the Regulated Acupuncturists and Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners, working with insurance bodies to have acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine covered under health care plans, working with existing associations to ensure the future is bridged with the history of the medicine and working with the CTCMPAO.ca to ensure public safety and that best practices are established and maintained. 

Salt Water & Granite

Growing up in a small rural community on the edge of the North Atlantic, I grew up learning what it meant to be in relationship with my environment. As a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine I am grateful for this foundation as it allows me to find the space to understand the resilience of the human body and mind. 

This land and sky and sea has shaped me and inform my relationship to life. My home.
