NUTRITIONAL THERAPY
Hi, I'm Alex (she/her), a Registered Doctor of Acupuncture and Functional Nutritional Therapist.
I offer a compassionate, holistic, one-on-one treatment process designed around your individual health journey and goals.
My approach incorporates Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine, Nutritional Therapy, and trauma-informed practices.
I also offer Community Acupuncture (Covid regulations permitting!) as a lower-cost alternative to private treatment. These group sessions are designed to reduce stress and promote overall health and balance.
I specialize in...
MIGRAINES
Anticipating the next chinook with dread? Acupuncture and TCM can reduce migraine pain and accompanying symptoms such as nausea, while addressing the underlying causes. This means both short-term relief and long-term prevention.
DIGESTION, ALLERGIES & SKIN ISSUES
Bloating, gas, or sleepiness after meals, allergies, skin conditions (i.e. acne, eczema) and even autoimmune diseases have common roots in digestive function. By improving digestion, acupuncture can not only ease abdominal discomfort, but also lower systemic inflammation to improve overall well-being.
TRAUMA, ANXIETY & INSOMNIA
MENSTRUAL & FERTILITY
Acupuncture helps regulate the nervous system, the vagus nerve, and cortisol (the stress hormone). This regulation helps address the physiological roots of the traumatic stress response, anxiety and insomnia.
PMS, cramps, breast tenderness and hormonal acne don't have to be part of your monthly cycle.
Gynecology is an important branch of TCM, and its ability to bring balance and ease to the menstrual cycle is also the key to its increasing popularity as a natural fertility aid.
