Shylo Westergaard

Shylo’s journey into the healing arts began with a series of hospitalizations throughout her 20’s. Striving to find balance in her life, she was drawn to study Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In 2005, she trained in California, receiving certification to both practice and teach bodymind acupressure.

In 2006, Shylo began her studies of TCM in Vancouver, BC. Inspired by what she had learned, she opened a wellness collective in Parksville, BC where she practiced and collaborated with other practitioners of various modalities.

Her interest in TCM drew her back into her studies and from 2015-2017 she completed the pre-requisites required to return to acupuncture college, graduating with honours from Camosun College’s Arts and Sciences Diploma Program. From 2017-2020, Shylo studied TCM at Oshio College in Victoria, graduating from the program in 2020.

Shylo’s life experiences have helped her develop a deeply compassionate nature. She has a general practice with success in treating acute and chronic musculoskeletal issues such as lower back, hip, shoulder, and neck pain, digestive disorders, diabetes, sleep disorders, and mental emotional health concerns. She believes in the natural intelligence of the body and its ability to return to health when the proper conditions are met.
