Registered Acupuncturist
Leonie has always been curious about the mind-body connection at a young age and began her holistic journey through yoga and food studies where she completed her Yoga teacher training in 2006 at Yasodhara Ashram in the Kootenays of BC. While at the Ashram, Leonie was taught how food can be a form of medicine and was taught on nutrition and food cures which prompted her to begin her Traditional Chinese Medicine journey and enrolled at the Pacific Rim Academy of Acupuncture in Victoria. After graduating in 2011, Leonie has been practicing throughout the lower mainland providing a safe, compassionate and professional care to patients.
With Leonie's passion with connecting the mind and body and releasing emotional trauma has led her to Yvonne Farrell. She completed her clinical mentorship program with Yvonne Farrell, which focused on psycho-emotional pain. Her main form of treatment is using the eight extra-ordinary vessels which are the post-natal points, the blueprint that give structure to the embryo as they help to orient and guide development. These vessels are deeply tied into our psycho-emotive functioning. Treating psycho-emotional pain can release and treat physical health conditions that patients come in for treatment.
In her spare time you will see Leonie cycling around town, drinking tea and befriending/petting cats :)
