Cathy Keenan is a registered acupuncturist (R.Ac) who completed her diploma in Acupuncture at The Institute of Traditional Medicine in Toronto in 2009. After giving birth to her first child, she developed a rare pregnancy related disease and spent more than a year recovering from heart failure. While her body and mind were recovering Cathy did a 3 year, part-time, internship with a third generation acupuncturist who practiced and taught Japanese Acupuncture. Cathy was drawn to this style of acupuncture for its gentle approach. In the last few years Cathy has been working in a high volume community acupuncture clinic in downtown Toronto offering accessible and inclusive health care to many people in her community. Cathy enjoys inspiring and empowering her patients to become active participants in their health and healing. For the last two decades, Cathy has been teaching movement/yoga classes and offers a wealth of knowledge on simple self-care and mindfulness practices to her patients. Along with her clinical work, Cathy has produced online courses on acupressure for stress and anxiety and a 14day self-care challenge. In her spare time, you may find her practicing Qi Gong down by The Columbia River.

For children (newborn - 14 years old). AcuTherapy, or is a gentle form of acupuncture designed specifically for children.

Join Cathy for a free 50-minute talk on Saturday, October 25th at 9 AM to learn how Chinese Medicine Food Therapy can help you eat in harmony with the season. Autumn is a time of transition—and in Chinese Medicine, it’s also a time to shift how we nourish ourselves. As the air gets cooler and drier, our bodies need support in staying balanced, resilient, and well. Chinese Medicine looks at food through a different lens. It’s less about calories, macronutrients or vitamins more about the energetics of what we eat. Some foods moisten dryness, others clear phlegm, warm the digestion, or strengthen the lungs. When chosen wisely, food becomes one of our best allies in staying healthy through the season. Space is limited — Secure your spot now!

Have you ever wondered why your acupuncturist asks to see your tongue? Tongue diagnosis is one of the oldest and most trusted tools in Chinese medicine. Like fingerprints, every tongue is unique—and that uniqueness can offer valuable insight into your health. The tongue provides a remarkable window into what’s happening inside the body. By observing its colour, shape, moisture, coating, and cracks, we can gain meaningful clues about overall health and wellbeing. Join Cathy on Saturday, April 25 for a one-hour, engaging and insightful conversation as we explore what your tongue may reveal about your digestion, energy, emotions, and more.
