Brayln (she/her) is a registered acupuncturist in good standing with the College of Complementary Health Practitioners of British Columbia. Brayln graduated the acupuncture program with magna cum laude distinction from Pacific Rim College and holds a Bachelor of Science in biology from the University of British Columbia. With community care as an integral value of her practice, she believes that systemic change begins at the individual level; and that individuals creating internal shifts within themselves sets the stage for a more beautiful world. In this way, acupuncture is a powerful tool for change. Brayln was introduced to acupuncture while recovering from severe burn-out after university. Her first acupuncture treatment created such a powerful internal shift that a spark of curiosity quickly grew into passionate inquiry and study of Traditional Chinese Medicine. TCM is holistic and considers all aspects of one’s experience as an interconnected whole. For Brayln, exploring the connections between the body, mind, and spirit never gets old. Bray aims to keep a general practice, ready to help resolve whatever comes into her treatment room. Her professional interests are ever evolving, and include (but are not limited to) stress and burn-out management, sleep disorders, concussion recovery, menopausal symptom management, pain management, emotional well-being, addiction recovery, and psychedelic preparation and integration. Bray brings her experience as a reiki pracitioner, yoga teacher, and life-long student of the natural world to her work. When not in the clinic, she is likely out exploring the outdoors, dancing with her friends, or enjoying a quiet night at home.
