Practitioners and Program Volunteers

Isabel fell in love with acupuncture on her search for a natural approach to healing herself. She discovered that the practice upholds a strong focus on how diet and lifestyle choices can treat and prevent illness, along with the use of specifically placed tiny needles. She is a graduate of the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Science degree, majoring in biological sciences and minoring in nutrition. She also has a Diploma of Acupuncture with distinction from MacEwan University.

Isabel’s goal for every patient is to achieve effective relief and natural resolution of their health concerns. She believes that her acupuncture needles have their greatest effect on the body when you can tap into your parasympathetic nervous system to rest, digest and heal. This is why she uses a gentle needling technique. She is well-versed in treating a wide variety of ailments, including musculoskeletal pain, digestive concerns, facial rejuvenation and mental wellness.
