Andrea began her career as an engineer, but her own health challenges led her to discover acupuncture. This experience ignited a deep passion for alternative medicine and a desire to help others on their healing journeys. She pursued this calling by earning her Diploma in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine from MacEwan University in 2008. After practicing within multidisciplinary wellness clinics for years, Andrea founded Thrive Acupuncture in West Edmonton in 2021 and added community-style acupuncture to her offerings in 2024. Community acupuncture takes place in a comfortable group setting where you choose your treatment from a specialized menu. It’s an affordable option that allows you to relax, recharge, and even catch up with friends while you unwind.
