Dr. Christina is a Doctor of Acupuncture - a registered acupuncturist & member with the CAA (College of Acupuncturists of Alberta). She is originally from Calgary and began her post-secondary in 2009 at Mount Royal University, first studying: Communications and Social Work.
Wanting to help others through connection and bridging east and west modalities - she found herself returning to the medicine of her roots & childhood.
She received her training in Traditional Chinese Medicine and lived on beautiful Vancouver Island for about a decade. She received her Diploma of Acupuncture at Pacific Rim College, in Victoria B.C & successfully completed the Pan-Canadian licensing exam.
Dr. Christina approaches each treatment with gentle care, active listening, an open mind & heart. In treatment, she looks through the lenses of: classical Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, 5 Element theory, orthopedics and traumatology. Oftentimes blending the lenses and using traditional + modern techniques in practice. Some of which include: traditional needling techniques combined with motor points, auriculotherapy, cupping, gua sha, food as medicine (Shi Liao) and self-care/ lifestyle recommendations.
