Thanks for sharing Align Massage Therapy (Ottawa)

New at the clinic this week.
Welcome aboard Tennille.

✨ New additions ✨

Beginning this week we are happy to welcome another acupuncturist to our team!

Tennille received her training in Traditional Chinese Medicine (DTCM dipl.) Oshio college of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in Victoria, B.C., Canada. Originally exposed to the power of Chinese Medicine while on midwifery internship in Senegal, West Africa, she was taught to use acupuncture to turn babies in breech presentation, lower blood pressure and ease pain in labour and delivery.

Between acupuncture training and completing the DTCM program, Tennille took a year long internship at two separate Ayurvedic training hospitals in southern India where the primary focus was on detoxification for patients with diabetes and arthralgias. Tennille worked with both the Chinese medical team and maternity department in the main government hospital in Zanzibar, Eastern Africa.

With a deep respect for the practice of medicine Tennille draws much inspiration from witnessing those with pain and chronic conditions come out of their suffering using methods that are not only safe and effective but also side effect free.

Tennille is a Registered Acupuncturist in good standing with the CTCMA (College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of British Columbia), Ayurvedic practitioner and birth worker. She is currently working on her masters with a focus in human rights and childbirth.

⚡️Tenille's schedule is open and available to book now! Visit www.cardinalpointhealth.janeapp.com or call 250-598-3718 to schedule an initial appointment ⚡️

Some wise advice from MTDC coach Erson Religioso III

This hit the inter webs pretty hard today, which seems strange since there has been information about it out there since 2010. Still an interesting development as we continue looking closer at the human body and what we may have ‘missed’ so far...
