Registered Acupuncturist

Patients describe me as an empathetic and compassionate practitioner and appreciate my gentle needle technique. Inspired by the way TCM acupuncture promotes overall wellness instead of solely combating disease, my focus is on treating the underlying factors contributing to imbalance for sustainable relief, helping patients focus on the fundamentals of health: nourishing food, movement, quality of sleep and rest, mindfulness and breathwork practice.

Elise is currently taking new clients and her availability is:

Mondays 12:00pm-7:00pm
Wednesdays 11:00am-6:00pm

I grew up in the lower mainland and obtained my BA at UBC before moving abroad for many years. Upon returning to Canada, I studied four years of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture at the International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Vancouver and completed a series of National Board Exams to earn my licence through the CTCMA. My passion for learning has included a variety of post graduate studies with renowned experts in the the field, including an internship focussed on women's health and fertility. Keen to understand the common ground between Traditional Chinese Medicine and bio-medical paradigms, I am a member of the Society for Acupuncture Research.

Since completing my education, I has worked in a variety of settings including corporate healthcare, community acupuncture and private clinics, and have successfully treated children and adults of diverse backgrounds in all phases of life. I am experienced in a wide range of modalities including acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, guasha, dietary therapy and breath-work. Botanical medicine is another of my passions and I have worked since 2018 in a herbal apothecary.

I am fascinated by the human body's resilience and how it’s strong self-repair system kicks into gear when this ancient treatment is performed. I incorporate current research and evidence-based approaches along with empirically-based approaches from the classics to provide exceptional quality of care.
