What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a traditional therapy that uses fine, sterile needles inserted into specific points of the body to stimulate healing, restore homeostasis, and relieve pain.

Meet Our Acupuncturist
Heather Brown
Registered Acupuncturist
I am a graduate of the International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
I have been practising acupuncture for several years in the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood, and the cheerful, supportive energy of this group of practitioners uplifts me every day.
​
I grew up in Powell River, on the B.C. coast. The original peoples of the Tla'amin Nation, as well as many other residents from a variety of backgrounds, had a profound impact on my life. The biggest lesson being that there are many ways to relate to the natural world, as well as to each other. I am deeply grateful to them all.
​
I have a strong interest in the relationship between psychological and physical ailments, within the framework of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
I have seen my own health improve from regular acupuncture, a healthy diet, and exercise, and I strive to pass onto my patients this framework for their own health needs.
​
TCM views mental and physical health as intrinsically connected, and acupuncture can treat both simultaneously.
Working with my patients to have a happy life brings me great joy.
