Hello! I’m Emma, a Doctor of Acupuncture and practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
I am deeply inspired by the magic and beauty of this ancient medicine, and I bring these principles into every treatment I provide.
My journey in healthcare began with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology (Honours) from Memorial University of Newfoundland, sparked by a lifelong curiosity about the intricacies of the human body. After experiencing the healing effects of acupuncture firsthand, I became fascinated with TCM and pursued specialized training at Pacific Rim College in Victoria, BC, where I graduated summa cum laude in 2016. Following registration with the CTCMA in BC, I was fortunate to complete a year-long apprenticeship with Dr. Reuven Freesman, DTCM.
In the past 8 years, my practice has evolved as my training has led to a focus on all areas of women’s health. In an area where I feel there is lack of support, I am honoured to offer treatment for conditions such as PMS/PMDD, fertility, PCOS, hormonal imbalances, peri/menopausal issues, painful/irregular menstruation and pre/post natal care. I have completed comprehensive training in fertility acupuncture under the guidance of Jane Lyttleton, as well as specialized training in pregnancy, labor, and postpartum acupuncture with Dr. Debra Betts. I am committed to ongoing professional development to ensure that my clients receive the highest standard of care.
Furthermore, I’ve pursued specialized training in Mei Zen cosmetic acupuncture with Dr. Martha Lucas, allowing me to offer a natural, holistic approach to skin rejuvenation and facial health.
I also have a clinical focus in mental health, treating stress, anxiety, and depression, with additional training in trauma and PTSD specifically. Using various modalities, including acupuncture, fire cupping, auricular therapy, gua sha, nutritional therapy, and lifestyle advice based on TCM theory, I have found profound healing and wonderful results in treating these focuses.
As an advocate for holistic wellness, I encourage my patients to embrace a balanced lifestyle that encompasses physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I create personalized treatment plans, addressing the root cause of imbalance rather than only treating symptoms for lasting health improvements.
I am thrilled to bring my patient-centred practice to Elevate Functional Health, and I look forward to joining you on your healing journey.
