Dr. Katrine B. Hegillman is a Registered Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Oriri Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine Centre where she strives to benefit and support the community by delivering services of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Traditional Japanese Acupuncture. “In the Chinese Medicine Philosophy we do not focus on eradicating a disease – we support the body and strengthen it, so it combats the disease through its own ability to heal.
