Hey, wellness warrior! My name is Andi, your go-to board certified acupuncturist and guiding light, on a mission to blend ancient wisdom with a modern touch. My journey into Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) wasn’t your typical lightbulb moment. Nope- it was more like a slow burn in the cubicle of my 9-5, fuelled by my own quest for answers and healing. I began to feel that Western medicine lacked the individual approach I found in TCM, and quickly realized that my growing interest for medicine should not be overlooked. So, armed with curiosity and a desire to help others find their balance too, I gave up the position that would lead me to my dream corporate job and dove headfirst into the world of TCM. With one of three board exams successfully completed, I am well on my way to becoming a board certified Chinese Medicine Doctor.
Here’s the deal: Your body? It’s got this incredible innate wisdom to heal itself, and my job is to help educate and empower you to tap into that magic. Consider me your wellness sherpa, guiding you through the peaks and valleys of your health journey with compassion, knowledge, and the magic of TCM. To me, it’s not just about chasing your symptoms—it’s about getting to the root and nourishing you from the ground up. My view of health is through a holistic lens, which entails relaxing the physical, nurturing the mental, and tending to the soul. When one pillar is affected, the others are thrown off balance. I understand healing happens in waves, and adapt my approach to meet you where you’re at. Together, we will bring awareness to your symptoms (your body’s cues that something is out of balance) and connect the dots between your health concerns to uncover the root cause of your health disturbances. So whether you’re navigating the hustle of city life or shredding the mountains, I’m here to support you every step of the way in reclaiming your true health.

* Registered Acupuncturist with CTCMA
