Dani Foster

Dani is highly compassionate and has gravitated towards a career in health her whole life. Even as a child, Dani could be found comforting distraught peers on the playground and helping those in need in any way she could. Her acupuncture practice focuses on internal and stress related conditions, and mental health concerns. She uses gentle forms of acupuncture treatment and often utilizes an "inside out" approach to chronic pain. She also provides fertility support and pregnancy/postpartum support for obstetrical patients. Dani is known for making her patients feel comfortable and confident in their treatment. She emphasizes patient education and can explain her treatments in an easily relatable way. Dani places a strong emphasis on preventative medicine and encourages her patients to be actively involved in their personal path to better health. Dani discovered Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) inadvertently while researching a potential career in Naturopathy. She immediately fell in love with the holistic TCM philosophy. What she found truly amazing, was the prospect of treating and preventing disease by restoring the body's innate ability to heal. After graduating in 2010 from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner program at PCU College of Holistic Medicine, Burnaby, Dani went on to graduate with honours in 2012 from the Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine program at Pacific Rim College, Victoria. She has a passion for knowledge and is often found reading Chinese medicine journals and completing advanced courses to enhance her ability to help her patients. Dani currently holds Registered Acupuncturist and Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner licenses in good standing with the College of Complementary Health Professionals of BC (CCHPBC). She is also a member of the British Columbia Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Practitioners (ATCMA). Dani lives in Maple Ridge with her husband and two young kids. In her free time, she enjoys playing board games, listening to audiobooks, hiking, and visiting with friends and family.
