about ME
My passion for Traditional Chinese Medicine began at age 14 when I began studies in Kung-Fu.
I graduated from Alberta College of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine in Calgary, Alberta, Canada in 2007 with a diploma in Acupuncture and an honourary diploma in TCM. Upon successfully passing Alberta acupuncture board examinations, I moved to Nova Scotia to open a practice and teach.
I have taught for two colleges, was a guest lecturer at Acadia University, and was requested for seminars by yoga instructors, the Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine Association of Nova Scotia, AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine in Austin, Texas, as well as Saskatchewan & Nova Scotia Naturopathic Conferences.
I have written for AcupunctureToday.com, Qi Journal, Kung-Fu Tai Chi magazine and Wing Chun Illustrated.
Lastly, I aim to mentor up-and-coming acupuncturists and Naturopathic Doctors — to help them gain confidence in the skills they went to school for.
