Meet Dr. Katie

I am an acupuncturist by trade but behind the scenes I am a wife of an incredibly supportive husband and a busy mom of two amazing children and a big furry Bernese Mountain Dog. I love to crochet and make soap. When I’m not in the clinic or at home, you’ll find me playing in the mountains camping and exploring.

Helping others is my passion

I am passionately dedicated to my craft, specializing in the transformative power of Master Tung acupuncture. This remarkable technique not only delivers immediate relief but also fosters lasting healing for various pain conditions. I have had the incredible honor of supporting hundreds of couples on their journey to parenthood, helping them turn their dreams into reality. As a devoted keto enthusiast, I understand the profound connection between diet and health, empowering my clients to make informed choices for their well-being. I cherish each client and consider it a true privilege to walk alongside them as they embark on their unique journeys.

My Journey 

After completing my first degree at the Canadian Centre of Behavioural Neuroscience, I embarked on the journey to become an acupuncturist. My fascination with understanding the body and its intricate workings has always been profound. Throughout my undergraduate studies, I uncovered eye-opening insights into the realms of brain and behavior. I navigated the research lab with curiosity, but more importantly, I realized I craved something deeper. I envisioned a future where I could engage more directly in the healing process for others. As my university experience came to a close, my quest for a career that would satisfy my passion for healing and helping others intensified. I explored various paths and ultimately found solace in the idea of becoming an acupuncturist. This is where my journey truly began. Beyond my clinical practice, I am dedicated to lifelong learning and personal growth. I actively participate in workshops and seminars to stay abreast of the latest advancements in acupuncture and holistic health. This commitment not only sharpens my skills but also enriches the experience I offer to my clients. I advocate for a holistic approach, integrating mind, body, and spirit to facilitate genuine healing. My mission transcends merely addressing symptoms; it is about empowering individuals to take control of their health and well-being. I am honored to accompany my clients on their healing journeys, guiding them toward a healthier, more balanced life.

Educational Background

I attended the Alberta College of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine and graduated with both a diploma of Acupuncture and a diploma of Traditional Chinese Medicine. During my studies, I had spent a great deal of time volunteering in a busy Chinese Herbal shop and had the opportunity to do my internship with a Chinese doctor specializing in woman’s health and internal medicine. Since then, I have had the chance to practice and learn from many worldy and elite acupuncturists. I worked along side the late Dr. David Chu for 3 years, learning and observing how acupuncture and herbal medicine are key in treating many complex cases including cancer, MS, muscular dystrophy, post polio, and terminal illnesses. I have since focused my studies and practice to the field of Master Tung acupuncture, one of the most effective and result driven form of acupuncture.

Professional Experience

From 2008 to 2013, I was the acupuncturist in a leading health center that focused in women’s health. There, I became good colleagues with an amazing team of midwives, where I had the honor of collaborating with and closely working with pregnant women. 
I also developed good relationships and collaborated with a handful of very experienced and busy chiropractors. The wealth of knowledge and expertise of a chiropractor has given me a great understanding of how the body works from their perspective. The experience of using both acupuncture and chiropractic care has successfully brought relief to thousands of my patients and for a variety of conditions.
My experience at this busy center gave me a solid foundation in understanding how acupuncture and Chinese medicine helps and alleviates many ailments of the body. I have witnessed first hand the healing of pain conditions and disease, I have helped hundreds of couples with fertility difficulties, and I have treated many, many pregnant women.
