Nutrient intravenous therapy involves the direct delivery of vitamins, minerals, and botanicals into the bloodstream. This method ensures a safe and effective way to achieve therapeutic nutrient levels. When you take supplements orally, only a portion of the nutrients is absorbed due to the presence of preservatives and binders in capsules and tablets, which hinder complete breakdown and absorption. By bypassing the digestive tract, intravenous therapy allows for 100% nutrient absorption.

This treatment is commonly used for cancer, inflammatory bowel diseases, chronic pain, fatigue, migraines, PMS, athletes, and individuals who prefer not to take supplements, among other conditions.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the world's oldest continuously practiced medicine, dates back to the First Century BCE and is now considered evidence-based medicine. The World Health Organization recognizes acupuncture's effectiveness for 28 diseases and conditions through controlled trials and acknowledges its potential for 63 more conditions pending further study.

TCM focuses on the body's functional entities and their harmonious operation in a balanced state or their dysfunction in illness. It aims to identify and treat the root cause of diseases by analyzing signs and symptoms. This diagnostic method emphasizes studying functional aspects over structural ones.

Common TCM treatments include acupuncture, which involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific body areas to promote self-healing. Other methods include diet and lifestyle counselling, cupping, exercises (Tai Chi/Qi Gong), needle-less acupuncture, and various auxiliary techniques.

After earning a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Dalhousie University in 2017, along with certificates in Disability Management and inter-professional health education, she became deeply involved in the YMCA’s Abilities in Motion program.
