Optimizing your health and wellness to evolve seamlessly through the transformations in your life is at the heart of Pearle’s practice.

Pearle provides a safe and unique treatment experience using a modern blend of modalities grounded in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The modalities include sports medicine, fire cupping, Gua Sha, Acutonics, auricular therapy (ear seeds), and TCM herbal & dietary therapy.

Her own journey to improve her health and quality of life led her to her first acupuncture treatment, which opened her world up to a holistic perspective of wellbeing. A few years later, Pearle left a 10 year corporate career to pursue a diploma in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, during which time she interned closely with A Master. The internship not only pushed her to refine her education and skills, it gave her invaluable experience that she still carries within her work everyday.

In her current acupuncture practice, Pearle has noticed that integrating Acutonics into her classic TCM acupuncture treatments added depth and relaxation to each experience with notably positive results.

A personal interest in wellness, motherhood, and love of clean beauty and skincare has led Pearle to pursue further certification and training with world renowned Acupuncture and Acutonics experts.

Her passion for mental health has also led her to complete the first Canadian university accredited graduate certificate at Vancouver Island University (VIU) in Psychedelic Assisted Therapy (PAT) alongside a cohort of driven medical doctors, healthcare professionals, psychologists and psychiatrists, in hopes of one day being able to integrate it with Traditional Chinese Medicine.

When she is not at the clinic, Pearle is actively trying to go on adventures, keep up with her young family, friends and two dogs, or snacking.
