Traditional Chinese and Japanese Acupuncture and herbs support people through their healing process.

These personalized treatments help others live with vitality, mobility, and freedom in the body and the mind. We offer gentle acupuncture and herbal medicine in the Westshore. 

Taking time to understand the deeper truth of your symptoms with an initial consultation and treatment is an important part of my acupuncture and herbal medicine practice. It helps us curate a holistic plan for you. 

We know that feeling well is not only how we feel physically but also how we feel about ourselves and our life experiences. 

That’s why self-compassion and self-acceptance are qualities we foster when we hold space for you. 

“My life’s work is inspired by a personal injury and healing journey that has led me to supporting others to return to their optimal health.”

—Alix Jean, Owner, Acupuncturist and Herbalist

It’s easy to feel like doing more, being more and working more are the only settings you have to get through each day. 

Moving in and out of balance is our natural state.

But when we neglect chronic pain, stress, anxiety, and injury the body starts to send more signals that it needs our full attention.

The body wants to heal, and it will when it’s given the space to be heard, to rest, and to recalibrate. 

Our pain is simply unresolved life experiences. 

There is no one formula for self-care. There is no one prescription for healing. 

But there are many paths to comfort, balance and even yes, vitality! 

It is possible to live without pain and it starts with listening to what your body has to say.

With my support, I can help you learn how to reconnect to the natural state of harmony through gentle Japanese acupuncture and other techniques.

BLACK SPRUCE TREES

Why the name? This adaptable little evergreen tree thrives in Canada from coast to coast, even in boggy soils near my childhood home in northern BC. Like a breath of sharp northern air in the forest, black spruce is powerfully grounding and calming. It is considered sacred in Indigenous medicines; both nourishing and stimulating to the nervous system, it is ideal especially for those feeling depleted. Black spruce portrays a symbol of deep inner knowing, understanding one's own healing path, connecting with the Earth, and finding one's unique way of reaching Spirit.
