Alison Stadnyk

Alison completed her training at the Academy of Classical Oriental Sciences (ACOS) in Nelson, BC. She graduated from the 5 year Doctorate of Chinese Medicine program, and is currently registered as a Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner (R.TCM.P.), offering acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping and much more. She also has completed a Birth Doula training with Gloria Lemay, and her "Wise Woman Way of Birth" education program. Alison is a true believer that health and wellness is one of the most important values in life. The approach that Traditional Chinese Medicine takes to health, which involves using elements of nature to balance the body, mind and spirit - is what attracted Alison into this practice. During a session with Alison, we will go through a history of your own personal health, where we will discover patterns from a Chinese medicine based diagnosis which will direct our treatment together. From here, Alison will develop a treatment that is tailored to your own unique needs, utilizing acupuncture, acupressure, cupping, herbalism, or any other TCM techniques that are indicated for your healing journey. Alison has an interest in reproductive health; treatment of fertility, pregnancy care including treatment for hyper-emesis/morning sickness, breech fetal position, cervical ripening treatment, and much more pre-natal and post-partum care. She has studied continuing education courses with Debra Betts, Randine Lewis, Sharon Weizenbaum and Claudia Citkovitz, leading experienced in TCM reproductive/pregnancy care. Her love for the outdoors and recreation has brought about a passion for treating sports related injuries, whether they are chronic or recent. Alison uses her knowledge and training of anatomical acupuncture, electro-acupuncure, and cupping to treat pain imbalances in the body due to overstrain, sprain, and pre/post surgical injuries. You can expect to leave your session feeling relaxed, aligned and empowered with the tools to motivate you towards your personal wellness goals.
