Kara has graduated with honours with a diploma in Acupuncture from Pacific Rim College in 2020. She also holds a General Arts Diploma from Camosun College. As a practitioner, her primary areas of interest are various pain conditions (including migraines and injuries), mental health (including depression and anxiety), and women’s health. Kara is a life-long resident of Vancouver Island, primarily residing in the Langford/Colwood regions. She is a proud military wife, that has been through two Naval deployments, so she understands the challenges and hardships they may bring. Her interest in acupuncture began while working as a Medical Office Assistant/Manager for 8 years. After suffering from migraines for years with no relief she sought out acupuncture treatment and after experiencing relief she felt as though she found her real calling. It was during one of her husband’s military deployments she decided, with his support, to leave a successful career to return to school to begin her journey in acupuncture. Kara is registered with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of British Columbia (CTCMA) and is a member of the British Columbia Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Practitioners (ATCMA). She looks forward to hearing from you and helping you in any way she can, she is happy to offer a free 15 minute consultation.
