Outside of the clinic, you can find Olivia swimming in a pool somewhere, exploring new recipes in the kitchen and taking a million pictures of her family dog Charlie.
Allison Adams
R.Ac
Allison is a registered Acupuncturist with a strong passion for supporting women’s health. Her journey into acupuncture began many years ago with her own personal experience – seeking acupuncture for labor induction and prenatal support.
Allison believes the true power behind acupuncture is its ability to balance the nervous system and thus allow the body and mind to rest, relax and heal. This creates an optimal environment for hormonal balance, improved circulation and overall health. She uses electro-stimulation, red light therapy and cupping as part of her treatments. In clinic she does a lot of labor preparations and prenatal support.
When Allison is not practicing acupuncture, she enjoys walks with her dog down by the lake, exercising, traveling and good food. She is the mother of two accomplished adult children, a dog and a cat.
Melanie Powell
R.TCMP, R.Ac
Melanie is a registered Acupuncturist and TCM practitioner. She has been a keen advocate of Chinese medicine for almost a decade. She brings a wealth of clinical experience and has pursued additional training in areas such as channel diagnosis, as well as the treatment of anxiety and depression.
Melanie’s keen interest in fertility and women’s health emerged as she sought to support patients as they progressed through the natural cycles of life. With so many treatment alternatives available for women’s health, one of Melanie’s goals is to educate patients on the effectiveness of Chinese Medicine – both as a standalone treatment and in conjunction with Western medicine.
She encourages her patients to take an active role in their health journey with diet and lifestyle and would be honoured to support and guide them through their healing process.
