About Victoria
Personal Experience
A severely painful upper body injury left Victoria moderately immobilized early in life. She had frozen shoulder. After a month of traditional medicine, Victoria tried acupuncture treatments, and her symptoms were completely gone. She embarked on a life journey in natural healing options that her clients have benefited from for 25 years. Victoria believes our energy is at the root of our pain and the root of our healing. Victoria lives a healthy life. Her greatest reward is to see her clients enjoy some relief of symptoms and improved quality of life.
Background and Education
Driven by personal curiosities, Victoria has gained a very wide base of natural healing knowledge in many disciplines. With a keen desire to learn and excel, Victoria is fortunate to have been mentored by industry experts, and even by some pioneers as well. Victoria is recognized as being “in tune quickly” with her clients needs and although acupuncture is her primary practice it is greatly complimented by her full understanding of the complex systems within the human body and how they interact with each other.
The start of her knowledge base was gained through becoming a Registered Holistic Nutritionist from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition in 2002. While working in the Nutrition Industry full time, Victoria gained more knowledge through various courses and workshops and started a part-time private practice. While still working, the education expanded into Iridology and Reflexology first. She became a Certified Reflexologist from the International Institute of Reflexology (I.I.R). She was privileged to meet and do her exams with the president and vice president of the I.I.R, the president being Founder Eunice Ingham’s (1889-1974) nephew Dwight “Footman” Byers who lived to be 91, and Dwight’s grandson James Pedersen.
As she helped grow a leading National Distributor to bring the highest quality nutritional products to Canadians from around the world, she learned Reki and started practicing that in 2005. She currently holds levels 1, 2, and 3 and knowledge gained from many Usui Lineage Reiki masters. Reiki has been practiced in Japan for over 2500 years.
Clients were starting to seek out Victoria for appointments after taking a tenth month acupuncture course. A few years later (2012), while working full-time in nutrition still, she completed 2000 hours of learning in 2015 with the Academy of Integrated Medicine, formerly The Shiatsu School of Canada and Acupuncture Institute. Victoria is a member of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario (CTCMPAO), the Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Association of Canada (CMAAC), and Traditional Chinese Medicine Ontario (TCMO).
Victoria’s core practice is Acupuncture, which has been practiced in China for over 3000 years.
The totality of this work experience and education gives Victoria a powerful perspective on her client’s individual health and how to improve it dramatically.
Let’s work together
Address the Underlying Cause
Understanding and identifying the core issue below the symptoms is the base of a healing and treatment plan. With her breadth of experience and having had thousands of successful client sessions, Victoria can quickly see that core issue and what it should respond well to. We are all different and conditions we experience have some commonalities, however, we all respond differently, so the wholistic vision for healing is why Victoria’s core treatment options have existed for thousands of years. They work.
Improve Quality of Life
The goal, to improve your quality of life. Most treatment plans are temporary and have more frequent appointments to reduce symptoms, pain, movement restrictions, body system functions, etc. Once symptoms are reduced, you may need a less frequent maintenance plan and, in many cases, treatment can be paused until life’s next issue presents itself. But generally, we become out of balance and that will present itself in a body dis-function or dis-ease or dis-comfort. Victoria has guided many to a better-balanced body and a much greater quality of life
An introductory appointment takes a bit longer than normal to learn your history and current condition, plan for 75-90 minutes

Each - session leaves me feeling more fulfilled!
“When I decided to take part in a reiki session I was unfamiliar with exactly how powerful this practice really is. I have suffered from anxiety and stress-related issues, as well as unhealthy attitudes towards body image for years. Since reiki sessions with Victoria, my anxiety has diminished and I was able to find inner peace to various unresolved issues in my life. I feel a positive change in my energy levels and this makes obstacles in life much easier to handle. Overall, each reiki session leaves me feeling more fulfilled and complete in my own spirit, mind and body.”
