Vanessa works and plays on the traditional, unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples.
Born and raised in Vancouver and trained in Nelson, BC, Vanessa is a trauma-informed acupuncturist with a special focus in pain management, nervous system regulation, mental health, women’s health, and cosmetic acupuncture. She creates a safe space where patients are encouraged to actively participate in their healing. She believes that no healing can happen when our bodies are in a state of flight or flight, and aims to create a space for her patients to decompress into a parasympathetic state of what she calls “acu-bliss”
Inspired by the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Vanessa sees the body as naturally intelligent, moving through cycles and rhythms like the seasons. Her work is about supporting this innate ability to restore balance, grow, and flourish—helping patients reconnect with their bodies, feel empowered, and experience health in a deeply personal and lasting way.

FI™ is a gentle bodywork that repatterns the nervous system’s habitual movement maps. Ideal for injury recovery & prevention, nervous system rebalancing, chronic pain/tension, and improving posture, FI helps you find freedom from ingrained patterns and establish better alternatives. Using gentle, clear touch to relieve excess tension and guide you through specific movements, it works with your nervous system’s innate intelligence to improve embodied awareness and help you find greater ease, fluidity, and adaptability in your body.
FI™ movement patterning supports healthy development in children and babies. Movement is how our brain maps the world around us, and when a child is missing certain movement patterns, it can affect not only physical coordination, but how they perceive and relate to the world around them. In FI, gentle hands-on prompts lead the child towards fulfilling missing sensory-motor patterns of action which serve as important building blocks in their ongoing growth. Depending on the child’s needs, resulting impacts can range from better physical coordination, range of motion, and reduced tension, to a more balanced nervous system baseline, behavioural improvements, and more.
