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. Below are some areas of interest and experience in treating: - Cosmetic Acupuncture (AcuSculpting) - all things skin related: bringing vitality to facial tissues for wrinkles, fine lines, scars & eczema - MSK (musculoskeletal): sciatica, neck and back pain, RSI (repetitive strain injuries: like tight forearms from power tools or playing an instrument), MVA (whiplash), acute & chronic injuries - Mental emotional health: when things are just to dang overwhelming, the grieving process, depression (PMDD), burnout + addictions - Women’s Health (all stages from: period pain, fertility, birth induction to post partum, to perimenopause and menopause) - Men’s Health (hair growth, genitourinary discomforts (e.g. prostatitis or hematospermia) - Digestion (nausea, IBS, Crohn’s & constipation) - Circulatory issues (cold feet from sitting at a desk job or Raynaud’s) - Chronic Pain - Immune or Autoimmune (common colds, allergies, alopecia, supporting symptoms of underactive/ hyperactive thyroid + supporting cancer patients on their break from chemo + radiation) When she’s not providing care in clinic-space, Christina is deepening her yoga practice, enjoying nature & the elements, dog-sitting and (likely) curled up to a good book.
