Originally from Alberta, Robyn began her study of eastern philosophy while pursuing a combined degree in Religious Studies and Psychology at the University of Lethbridge. Her interest deepened when she was given the opportunity to study under Dr. Wendy Takeda, who became and continues to be her inspiring mentor.
Relocating to Vancouver Island, Robyn completed a four year program at the Canadian College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (CCAOM), earning her a Diploma of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Upon completion of her studies, Robyn moved further up the westcoast to Tofino where she founded Arbutus Health Centre. As a practitioner, Robyn brings close to 20 years of clinical experience and treats patients with wide ranging concerns such as musculoskeletal injuries, digestive complaints, psycho-emotional disorders, neurological issues, addictions, and dermatological concerns. Robyn is a certified NADA (National Acupuncture Detoxification Association) practitioner and has also studied under Virginia Doran, leading expert on Facial Rejuvenation, otherwise known as cosmetic acupuncture.
In addition, Robyn has special interest and extensive postgraduate training in women’s reproductive health, fertility, and gynocology. She has studied under notable TCM experts such as Raven Lang, Debra Betts, Bob Flaws, Jean Levesque, and Heather Bruce.
Robyn’s philosophical approach to treatment includes a strong emphasis on patient participation and education. She encourages patients to take responsibility for their health and to actively participate in the healing process. Robyn often incorporates dietary therapy, lifestyle changes and herbal medicine into her treatment plans. Comfortable within both Western and Eastern medical paradigms, Robyn works with her patients to formulate individualized treatment plans that supports the patient on their journey toward health and inspired living.
Robyn is a Registered Acupuncturist and a member in good standing with the College of Traditional Chinese Practitioners and Acupuncturists (CTCMA).
