Registered Acupuncturist

From a young age, Em always knew they wanted to work in the Health and Wellness field. However, it wasn’t until high school when they witnessed a demonstration of Acupuncture and Fire Cupping that they were truly captivated. The experience left them in awe, and they immediately realized this was the career path they were meant to pursue.

Em’s passion for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) began in 2017 when they started studying at the Canadian College of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Since graduating, Em has worked in several wonderful multidisciplinary Wellness clinics, treating patients with Laser Acupuncture, Traditional Acupuncture, Fire Cupping, Ear Seeding, and Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture.

One of Em’s most inspiring experiences was traveling to Beijing and Xiamen in 2019, where they had the opportunity to immerse themselves in Chinese culture. Em was fortunate enough to witness Acupuncture and TCM being practiced in hospitals, visit pharmacies specializing in Chinese herbs, explore historical museums, and, their personal highlight, walk along the Great Wall of China. This unforgettable educational experience left a lasting impression on Em.

The ability of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine to transform both the mental and physical health of patients continues to inspire Em. It fuels their ongoing commitment to learning and growing as a practitioner, with the goal of helping even more people in the community.

When they’re not working, Em enjoys hiking, camping, and exploring the beautiful outdoor sights of Nova Scotia.

Em is thrilled to meet you and looks forward to assisting you on your healing journey.
