Pooneh Malaekeh

Pooneh Malaekeh is a doctor of pharmacy from Iran and a Registered Pharmacist and Registered

Acupuncturist in BC.

She earned her PharmD from Mashhad medical university in Iran in 2000. After moving to

Canada, she received her pharmacy license in BC and worked as a pharmacist for 10 years.

While working as a pharmacist, she really enjoyed helping her patients through symptom-based

approaches of treatment, but she also had a passion for holistic healing methods. She wanted to

find a way to treat patients by their body’s natural ability rather than using chemical medications.

This is when she discovered the holistic approaches of traditional Chinese medicine, and she

developed an interest in acupuncture as a safe and effective method for the treatment of bodily

imbalances. Thus, she decided to change her path and pursue acupuncture.

When treating her patients, she uses various modalities including acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, motor point acupuncture, scalp acupuncture, auricular acupuncture, cupping, Gua

sha, and acupressure. She also does facial acupuncture and facial cupping and Gua sha for facial

rejuvenation.

In addition to her strong commitment to health and wellness, Pooneh enjoys painting, playing

piano, baking and decorating cakes, and developing her spiritual knowledge.
