Meet Dr. Christina Lam!
Christina is a Doctor of Acupuncture - a registered acupuncturist & member with the CAA (College of Acupuncturists of Alberta). She is originally from Calgary and began her post-secondary in 2009 at Mount Royal University, first studying: Communications and Social Work.

Dr. Christina approaches each treatment with gentle care, active listening, an open mind & heart. In treatment, she looks through the lenses of: classical Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, 5 Element theory, orthopedics and traumatology - oftentimes blending the lenses and using traditional + modern techniques in practice. Some of which include: traditional needling techniques combined with motor points, auriculotherapy, cupping, gua sha, food as medicine (Shi Liao) and self-care recommendations.
She has an interest in: digestive health, pain management, skin health, mental + emotional well-being, addictions, sleep quality & women’s health. She continues to further her knowledge with self-study, seminars, conferences and workshops.
When she’s not providing care in clinic-space, Christina is deepening her yoga practice, enjoying nature & the elements, dog-sitting and (likely) curled up to a good book.
