Hi! My name is Carine (she/her) and I'm a Registered Acupuncturist. I am so happy that you made it here and I hope we can work together in the future. When I was 19 years old, I sought out acupuncture treatments for allergies. Right away, I was amazed at how much this treatment could help me. Throughout my life, I kept coming back to it whenever I needed help, for physical as well as mental health issues. When I decided it was time for me to go back to school and find a career that would also be a passion, it was a no-brainer: I would become an acupuncturist.

In June 2022, I graduated with Honours from the International Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Ottawa as an Acupuncture Practitioner. I am a Registered Acupuncturist with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturist of Ontario (CTCMPAO).

Prior to my work as an acupuncturist I became a Doula in 2008, working with women and their partners for over 5 years, supporting their pregnancy and postpartum journeys. In 2010 I had training through La Leche League Canada, where I then formed a new lactation support group in Rockland and Iqaluit. Through this training I worked closely with mothers to support and prepare them for breastfeeding. I was also certified as a 200 hours yoga teacher in 2017 and I am also trained in pre-natal and yin yoga. Furthermore, I hold a college certificate in Social Work. I am a resident of Rockland and I grew up in the beautiful Laurentians.

I am a mom of 3 boys first and foremost. It goes without saying that this shapes my practice and the things that I'm passionate about.

Areas of focus

• Women's health, both physical and mental (from fertility to menopause to pregnancy and postpartum support)

• Treating the whole family, including children

• Digestive issues

• Mental health, trauma and addictions

• Pain relief

My practice will also always be a safe space for everyone: members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, BIPOC folks, people with addictions or mental health issues and anyone who needs it.

I am welcoming to anyone who feels they need Chinese medicine in their life. If you are called to acupuncture, please feel free to reach out to me and see if this is a good fit for you.

Carine offers her services in both English and French.
