Kenton’s passion for Traditional Chinese Medicine began at age 14 when he began studies in Kung-Fu. Kenton graduated from the Alberta College of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine in Calgary in 2007 with a diploma in Acupuncture and a diploma in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Upon successfully passing Alberta acupuncture board examinations, he moved to Nova Scotia to open a practice and teach. Kenton has taught for two colleges, was a guest lecturer at Acadia University, and has been requested for seminars by yoga instructors, the Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine Association of Nova Scotia, AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine in Austin, Texas, as well as Nova Scotia & Saskatchewan Naturopathic Conferences. He has written for AcupunctureToday.com, Qi Journal, Kung-Fu Tai Chi magazine and Wing Chun Illustrated. Kenton practices Deep Tissue Lymphatic Acupuncture (DTLA), a style developed by Haruo Matsumoto and taught to him by Alexander Audette. Clients can expect to have Kenton in the room with them the entire time, where he will use palpation and client feedback to diagnose and treat. Only one needle is used at a time. Other modalities used may include gentle Shiatsu, cupping, herbal or dietary recommendations. DTLA has a four-fold effect: 1. Anti-inflammatory, 2. Analgesic, 3. Warms and softens the tissue, 4. Has a calming and sedative effect. Acupuncture can be very effective for pain conditions as well as functional concerns such as mental-emotional, sleep, digestion, fertility, menopause, labour induction, etc.
