R.AC, B.A. (HONS) - DR. OF ACUPUNCTURE, FOUNDER

Optimizing your health and wellness through life’s many transformations is at the heart of Pearle’s practice.

Blending modern techniques with the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Pearle offers a safe, personalized, and deeply supportive treatment experience. Her integrative approach includes sports medicine, fire cupping, Gua Sha, Acutonics, auricular therapy (ear seeds), and TCM-based herbal and dietary therapy—all tailored to meet your unique needs.

Pearle’s journey into holistic health began with her own search for better well-being, which led to her first acupuncture treatment. That pivotal experience opened her eyes to a whole new way of understanding health and inspired her to leave a 10-year corporate career to pursue a diploma in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. During her studies, she completed a hands-on internship with a TCM Master, an experience that deeply shaped her clinical skills and continues to inform her practice today.

In her current work, Pearle has found that integrating Acutonics—a sound-based therapy — into her acupuncture treatments adds an extra depth to the relaxation and energetic experience for her clients.

A lifelong learner with a passion for wellness, motherhood, and clean beauty, Pearle continues to train with world-renowned experts in Acupuncture and Acutonics. Her dedication to mental health has also led her to complete Canada’s first university-accredited graduate certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (PAT) at Vancouver Island University. Studying alongside medical doctors, psychologists, and healthcare professionals, Pearle hopes to one day thoughtfully integrate PAT with Traditional Chinese Medicine.

When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll find Pearle chasing adventures with her young family, spending time with friends and her two dogs—or enjoying a well-earned snack.

R.Ac - DR. OF ACUPUNCTURE, REGISTERED MASSAGE THERAPIST, CLINICAL HYPNOTHERAPIST, EQUINE TRAINER

Tella offers a deeply personalized approach to healing by combining acupuncture, massage therapy, and Hypnopuncture—a powerful fusion of acupuncture and clinical hypnosis. Her integrative treatments are designed to support meaningful, lasting change in both body and mind.

With a special focus on weight loss, mental health, and trauma recovery, Tella’s work is rooted in compassion, clinical expertise, and the belief that healing begins when we feel safe, seen, and supported. Whether you're carrying chronic stress, struggling with emotional eating, or feeling disconnected from your body, each session meets you where you are—and gently guides you toward where you want to be.

Drawing on the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the transformative power of the subconscious mind, Tella helps clients regulate their nervous system, release stored tension and emotional patterns, and reconnect with their natural resilience.

Offerings include:
Acupuncture — to balance hormones, calm the mind, and restore energy

Massage Therapy — to release physical and emotional tension

Hypnopuncture — to shift unconscious patterns related to stress, trauma, and weight

Gentle, judgment-free support — for emotional healing and embodied change

Fun Fact: Tella unintentionally donates more chuck-it balls to the bow river than most sporting goods stores do in a year. Thanks to her three high-energy dogs with Olympic-level enthusiasm and zero ball recall, every walk turns into a chaotic game of fetch-me-not. Locals now believe the river is naturally seeded with orange/blue orbs—and somewhere downstream, a very confused beaver is starting a collection.
