Hi, I’m Hélène.
I’m a registered acupuncturist with a background in holistic nutrition and community health. Before pursuing acupuncture, I spent over a decade working in the nonprofit sector, supporting initiatives in food security and cultural revitalization. My experience in community-based work continues to shape my approach to care, emphasizing accessibility, education, and the interconnectedness of health and social well-being.
I graduated from Pacific Rim College in 2024, after completing an extensive 2190-hours of training, including over 460 hours of clinical practicum. My practice integrates acupuncture, bodywork (qi gong therapy and acupressure), cupping, moxibustion, and food therapy. My approach is informed by advanced training in pain science, prenatal care, and ongoing studies in classical Chinese medicine. I am committed to continually deepening my understanding of both Traditional East Asian Medicine and contemporary Western practices to provide the highest standard of care.
I have a special interest in mental-emotional, digestive, urogenital, and reproductive health, providing support through the changes and phases that unfold across different life stages. Whether you’re managing chronic pain, nervous system dysregulation, or simply looking to feel more at home in your body, my goal is to provide compassionate, individualized care that meets you where you are.
I look forward to hearing from you.
