Teresa has over 15 years of experience in the field of health and wellness. She started her career as a researcher after completing her master’s degree in public health from Harvard University. Through this work, Teresa discovered that many common health conditions faced by the general population were not very effectively treated with conventional medical care.

After completing over 3,000 hours of training at the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Teresa has gone on to gain a wealth of experience over the last 10 years using acupuncture and other TCM therapies to treat a variety of conditions such as chronic pain, headaches, menstrual disorders, digestive issues, stress, and insomnia.
Teresa takes a holistic approach in her treatments by addressing the root cause or underlying imbalance that would lead to development of an illness or symptom. In addition to acupuncture, she utilizes a variety of treatment modalities such as cupping, gua sha, and herbal medicine to maximize therapeutic effectiveness. Teresa loves to empower her patients with knowledge and tools to help them make positive dietary and lifestyle changes that support overall well-being.

Jake is a Registered Massage Therapist new to the Toronto area. He has been practicing for 2 years
since graduating from The International Academy of Health Sciences in Ottawa, Ontario. Spending most

their most pain-managed lifestyle regardless of predisposition. This style of training has given Jake the
knowledge of movement and requirements of the body across all extracurriculars or athletic pursuits
whether that be our first 5km run, cycling in competition, or just trying to live an overall mobile lifestyle. In

demographic and has recently become a certified Labour/Post Partum Doula and one day becoming registered as a
midwife in Ontario.

Millie, exploring the new city he now calls home, and finding creative outlets through movement based
