When I was a little girl, all I wanted was to become an Olympic gold medalist figure
skater. My dream was shot, when my knees gave out and I was told I could not
compete anymore. The next decade of my life was dedicated to rebuilding the parts of
me that needed a lot of care and attention. In my late teens, I had a major ski accident
which halted all the progress I was making. It took another decade of rehabilitation to
finally be able to run, hike down a steep hill and go about my life without being in
chronic agony. In the past few years, some car and bicycle accidents have given me the
opportunity to become resilient in the face of psychological and physical pain. These
experiences have forced me to become embodied, to know my limits, to know when it’s
safe to push them and to trust my intuition.
Stepping into a career path that continued to teach me about my own healing and to
honour my strength of taking care of others made a lot of sense. I started with a holistic
massage and bodywork program in 2015 which provided an excellent foundation to
begin my studies in Chinese medicine. Having experienced such a diversity of
discomfort and sensitivity within my body, mind and soul, Chinese medicine gave me so
many answers. The nature of the medicine is so simple, yet profound. Our internal
environment reflects our external and vice versa. When there is clutter and excess
around, our mind will struggle to be clear. Food is medicine. Napping restores qi and
coffee depletes it. The body holds the answers to any ailment long before it presents in
distress. It’s a matter of catching the subtle hints so we can provide preventative
treatment because that is truly the most effective kind.
I love acupuncture. Acupuncture has helped me through body aches, nerve pain,
mental fog, digestive distress, seasonal depression, menstrual imbalances and above
all, given me an incredible career. I feel because of my personal experiences, I have
much compassion for the healing process. It’s not an easy thing to ask for help, to begin
unwinding patterns and literally break up scar tissue. It takes courage and discipline.
Health is not a destination, it’s the ability to adapt to change. The greater we can adapt,
the more resilient we can become.
I use acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, cupping and gua sha to restore motor function,
decrease pain, break up scar tissue, promote blood flow and a para-sympathetic state
in which your body can truly heal. I have a special affinity towards working with
athletes, post-partum mothers and pre/post-surgery patients. Expect a combination of
tongue diagnosis, muscle testing, gait analysis and postural assessments to get started.
I am thrilled to be working in such a collaborative environment here at Origin where the
team truly has your back.

skater. My d...
