🐉China Study Trip: I will be in China from October 16th to November 8th with my herbal medicine teacher to study with his teacher, Professor Huáng Huáng 黄煌 at the Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine. This is a huge privilege as Dr. Huáng is an honorific doctor and one of the foremost experts in the use of Classical Formulas/Methods (Jīngfāng 經方) from Shānghán Lùn 傷寒論 and Jīnguì Yàolüè 金匱要略. If you are on herbs, let’s make sure to get you a refill before I leave!

🌸Summerland Private Treatments: Private acupuncture treatments are coming to Summerland starting in November! My family first came to the South Okanagan Valley in the late 1800s, and I am so happy to be able to offer a location for my South Okanagan community!

🌼Qigong Energy Work: In Summerland, I will now be offering Pranic Healing, a style of Qigong energy work that I studied for 7-years with my teacher, Jenett Ashley, a direct disciple of Grandmaster Choa Kok Sui, before I went to Chinese Medicine school.

🌻Community Acupuncture in Penticton and Summerland: Community acupuncture takes place in an open room with other individuals also receiving acupuncture treatments. This style includes less time talking at the start of your treatment and more time relaxing on the table, dropping all those daily tensions. The collective energy of several individuals entering a healing state in the same space is unique to community acupuncture, similar to a group meditation. These offerings occur one Wednesday evening per month in Penticton, and one Sunday morning per month in Summerland.

Chinese medicine is a form of healthcare with a several thousand year history. Acupuncture and herbal medicine compose two branches of Chinese medicine; they are used to prevent disease by maintaining a good state of health, and to treat acute or chronic disease. Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles into specific points on the body to regulate the flow of energy (qì 氣) and Blood  (xuè 血) to restores imbalances and alleviate pain. Chinese herbal medicine utilizes classical formulas, often modified to suit one's individual condition. Rooted in Daoist philosophy and observations of nature, Chinese medicine provides an ancient outlook on today's modern problems. 

Kylie is a Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner (R.TCM.P.), registered in good standing with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners of British Columbia (CTCMA). In Kylie’s practice she aims to collaborate with you to achieve your health goals. Your body holds the innate wisdom to heal itself, but we could all use a helping hand from time to time. Kylie uses acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine to give your body support and guidance to initiate its healing process.

The guiding philosophy for Kylie’s practice is to provide a safe, inclusive, compassionate, and empowering space for individuals to be seen and heard, to decompress, and to blossom into their greatest vision for themselves. Kylie has general practice which tends to focus on digestive health, mental and emotional wellbeing, gynecological health, stress, fatigue, pain, and the maintenance of good health.

The herbal formulas used within Kylie’s practice come from the Shānghán Zábìng Lùn 傷寒雜病論 which is the works of Zhāng Zhòngjǐng 張仲景, a Chinese physician from the Han dynasty. She studies the Lóngshā Xuépài 龙砂学派 lineage with Dr. Eran Even, Dr.TCM, Ph.D. who teaches Jīngfāng 經方 Classical Herbal Medicine as taught by Professor Huáng Huáng 黄煌, his doctoral advisor from the International Jingfang Institute of the Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine.

The style of acupuncture that Kylie most often utilizes is called Neoclassical Acupuncture. This style involves the palpation of the abdomen and acupuncture channels of the arms and legs to assess how the qì is flowing within the body. This allows one to find areas where the qì isn’t flowing optimally. The body is the guide for treatment and it gives instant feedback after needle insertion so we can assess how things are changing in real time. This system often uses minimal needles which is wonderful for needle sensitive folks, and often patients report dropping into a deeper state with this style.
