My path to becoming an Acupuncturist has been a diverse and enriching one. Along the way, I’ve worn many hats, from being a passionate saxophone player to founding and running companies in the bicycle industry. I’ve delved into the worlds of finance and accounting management in both business and non-profit sectors. However, it was my eventual journey to Toronto that led me to the profound practice of Acupuncture and Biofield Tuning.

For me, it’s a profound honor and privilege to be able to do something that not only fills me with immense joy but also allows me to make a positive impact on people’s lives. Every day, I am inspired by the transformative healing experiences my clients enjoy. These remarkable results are not only the product of their visits to my clinic but also the positive lifestyle changes they embrace outside of it. These choices contribute significantly to optimizing their potential for good health.

Join me on this extraordinary journey toward well-being and discover the profound benefits of Acupuncture and Biofield Tuning. Together, we can unlock your potential for a healthier and more fulfilling life.

Unlock the secret to thriving, and not just surviving.

It’s a common experience for many of us to find ourselves in a perpetual state of survival mode. This occurs because our brilliantly intelligent immune system is constantly working to regulate and address the numerous health challenges that life throws our way. Sometimes, these immune responses are so robust that they inadvertently trigger side effects. It’s important to remember that your immune system is always striving to help, aiming to right the wrongs it encounters. Despite occasional discomfort, your immune system never goes rogue!

In today’s fast-paced world, the stresses of modern life often trigger a persistent stress response in our bodies. Even if you have a loving family, supportive friends, your dream job, and an impeccable diet, the more we have, the more we tend to worry when even the slightest hiccup occurs.

But there’s good news—there are ways to break free from this survival mode and transition into a state of thriving. Discover how you can optimize your immune system, manage stress, and embrace a healthier, more balanced life. It’s time to live life to its fullest potential, and we’re here to help you achieve that. Don’t let stress hold you back—take the first step towards thriving today.

what are the signs of stress?

Stress can manifest in various ways, often hidden beneath the surface of our daily lives. Major life events, such as a child’s hospitalization after a sports accident, a parent’s unfamiliar diagnosis, or impending layoffs at work, can undoubtedly create significant stressors. However, stress wears many masks, and we encounter it in subtler forms too.

In our society, it’s common to wear different masks in different situations, including at the workplace. Suppressing natural reactions, a practice prevalent in many workplaces, can contribute to stress. Unfortunately, our culture often discourages the open expression of emotions, leaving many people unaware of the stress their bodies process throughout the day.

When we stifle emotional expression, we inadvertently disconnect from our own responses. From a young age, we absorb the message that we should internalize our feelings or bury them deep within. This behavior becomes so ingrained in our culture that we must actively unlearn it. While we’re not suggesting throwing temper tantrums in public, it’s crucial to cultivate awareness of these hidden stressors because they can indeed impact our well-being.

Once my clients are more aware of stress’s impact on their health, they have the right to make better choices about what they will tolerate in their lives.

After that is in place, identifying the best foods for their physiology, which may not be the foods they crave when their stressed, is the second step in creating health. But more than that is how we eat. We talk about these things every time we’re together in a treatment, in addition to the third major puzzle piece of thriving health, because without unearthing and changing these every day choices, our treatments will just be servicing bad choices. That can take the form of working for a toxic boss, staying in a toxic industry, or allowing people with toxic emotional habits (who won’t get help) to stay in the inner circle.
