Clara Bernier

Clara was drawn to acupuncture because of the holistic foundations and natural approach of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). She came to realize, through her own health journey and life experiences, that there is a deep interconnectivity within the body, and she believes in the body’s intuitive ability to heal itself.

Learning that acupuncture also recognizes these principles sparked an immediate curiosity, enthusiasm, and passion for the medicine.

In addition to general practice, Clara’s professional interests include facial rejuvenation acupuncture and microneedling, mental and emotional health including stress, chronic fatigue and burnout, and chronic and acute pain. In her treatments, Clara aims to help clients reach their ideal health goals by listening and understanding their concerns, encouraging and facilitating necessary changes both through acupuncture treatments and the implementation of achievable lifestyle changes. She includes client education in most sessions as well, to enhance treatment efficacy.

Clara is trained to provide cupping, Gua Sha, electro-stimulation acupuncture and moxibustion therapies.

Clara is a registered acupuncturist with the CTCMA. She completed her studies at Pacific Rim College in Victoria, after completing her Bachelor of Science in Psychology at the University of Victoria.
