Our intention is to provide whole body health care in a relaxed and nurturing environment. The aim as a healthcare practice, is to aid clients towards a greater awareness of what optimal health means to them. Acupuncture and Traditional Medicines have the ability to heal on many levels and the journey towards health is unique for every individual. It is my hope that through education, a supportive environment and an open mind, that every client will find new growth in his or her life.

JENNIFER LARSEN, R.Ac.
Registered Acupuncturist
I started this clinic in Kamloops 15 years ago and I am proud to be able to offer services to this beautiful community.
My studies in Traditional Medicines have included five years of training at Victoria’s International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (ICTCM) and the Canadian College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (CCAOM). I was also awarded the opportunity to attend the Tian Jin University Hospital of TCM in Mainland China for an extended internship program. During my training in the hospital, I gained valuable insight and knowledge firsthand, from Traditional Chinese Doctors in the departments of Internal Medicine, Gynaecology, Paediatrics and Dermatology. I have 15 years of clinical experience in Acupuncture, Tui Na Massage, Moxibustion, Cupping, Electro-stimulation, Reiki, Acutonics and Shamanic Healing.
Post-graduate studies have gained me additional training and certification in: Healing Community Trauma in Crisis with AWB (Acupuncturist Without Borders) Constitutional Facial Rejuvenation Masters Degree in Reiki Healing, Level 2 Acutonics Practitioner Chinese Diet Therapy Shamanic Initiation in the Traditional Inkan Lineage.
