Jocelyn (she/her) is a Registered Acupuncturist who graduated from Pacific Rim College, Summa Cum Laude. In addition, Jocelyn holds a Registered Holistic Nutritionist designation from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from University of Victoria, both accreditations awarded with high honours. Further, Jocelyn has completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, Reiki Level 2, and has attended workshops in counselling skills, cranio-sacral therapy, and other energy healing modalities.

Jocelyn is captivated by Traditional Chinese Medicine’s emphasis of holism. The medicine ascertains that health and wellbeing are the natural order of the human condition, and thus, the manifestation of disease reflects disharmony or imbalance in the individual’s mind, body, spirit, or environment. Jocelyn intends to be an educator and ally who supports her patients as they find agency in their healing process; she strives to offer individualized treatment plans as unique as her patients because no two experiences of disease or disharmony are alike. Her trauma-informed practice is founded on mind-body-spirit integration, and focuses on nervous system regulation, hormonal and fertility health, digestive health, and mental-emotional health.

Outside the clinic, Jocelyn can be found enjoying the great outdoors, as she loves to surf, hike, beach comb, sunbathe, and swim in any body of water deep enough to submerge. She also loves to eat good food with friends and is notorious for her dance moves.

Sheena has worked in customer service, administration and bookkeeping roles throughout her career. Sheena is an avid animal lover. In her spare time she loves to read, craft and hike the local trails with her husband and her dog Joey.
