My name is Megan, I am an esthetician specializing in the health of the skin. I graduated in 2013 from Vancouver Island University, and moved to the Comox Valley from there. I was incredibly lucky to work with many organic and plant based wellness brands for 10+ years. This encouraged my passion and fascination with the healing properties of plants, while teaching me just how important it is to avoid the toxicity found in many, if not most, products available. I had no luck with conventional skincare, and struggled with my own skin for years without knowing the cause. Hormonal health quickly became a very important topic to me as it was so clearly related, and something I saw countless women struggling with as well. This to me solidifies the importance in plant-based skincare, especially knowing many products have ingredients that disrupt our hormones. Many sunscreens, body lotions, perfumes, etc. contain hormone disruptors, and when using multiple of these together over time, accumulation of these ingredients can happen in the body, causing problems to worsen. Education is ongoing and so important in the skincare industry, as our skin is our biggest organ, and necessary for detoxification.

We know the skin often reflects what is happening internally, and with bringing balance to the body, the skin can also heal. With this knowledge, I became much more passionate about offering a more relaxing and aromatic experience, with the focus being on wellness and stress reduction. My goal is to bring a deep sense of peace and relaxation, in a safe and supportive environment, while focusing on individual needs. Touch can evoke emotion, and to feel safe is so important in the process of release. We can hold so much stress in our bodies, from large events and/or day to day stress, and intentional facial massage paired with botanical ingredients can be so beneficial in releasing this. Working on the scalp, neck, shoulders, and arms along with the face and jaw, using light pressure points all help in the release of tension.

I am also currently studying sound healing, as this can have a profound effect on making intentional shifts within the body. After experiencing multiple sound baths, I am excited to one day bring this peace to others as well. My other passions include animals, the study of our local plants and trees, and forest bathing. After growing up on the north of Vancouver Island, the forests and oceans are so important to me, offering healing and inspiration in endless ways.

My name is Veronica and I am a registered acupuncturist. I graduated from Pacific Rim College in 2017. After the long process of becoming registered, I worked for three years in Victoria, providing care in both a busy community clinic and a private clinic. I am now back in the Comox Valley where I grew up and am so excited to be here sharing this beautiful medicine.

I am also beginning training in craniosacral therapy after experiencing profound healing sessions myself. I look forward to combining these two gentle yet effective therapies to facilitate deep healing, as well as offering craniosacral for people who might not interested in needles.

My treatment style is gentle and my intention is always to bring you back to yourself as the source of your own healing. I love to help facilitate greater trust in yourself, connection within yourself and to the outside world. I love how acupuncture is holistic and tailored uniquely to you on any given day. I have an interest in treating mental health, and anxiety is one of the main concerns I have treated over the years. I practice primarily in a balance method style of acupuncture, which is where we typically choose points away from the location of pain and get effective results while being gentle on the local area.

Acupuncture has helped me so much personally and I hope it will help you too!
