Who I Am and What I Do
Vonalee Gilroy - Registered Acupuncturist
Hey there! I'm Vonalee, a registered acupuncturist with a deep-rooted passion for holistic wellness, especially in the world of skincare, hormone balance, and digestion. Since graduating from the Calgary College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture (CCTCMA) in 2010, I've been on a continuous journey of growth and discovery, constantly expanding my craft.
I offer acupuncture and skincare treatments to all ages and genders. What sets my approach apart is combining the knowledge of acupuncture with holistic skincare. For me, it’s not just about treating symptoms; it’s developing a connection with my patients and empowering them with knowledge. I strive to create an environment where people feel seen and heard.
In my treatment room, I use botanical products that have been carefully selected. Using organic products and following safety guidelines is of utmost importance, and having served as a licensing examiner at the College and Association of Acupuncturists of Alberta (CAAA), I am well versed in best practices in technique and equipment.
Join me on a journey to achieve your optimal health, balance and vibrant skin.
What is Acupuncture
Acupuncture and TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) is a form of medicine that originated in China over 4000 years ago. It is drug-free way to treat diseases and prevent future imbalances in the body. According to ancient theory, energy, known as “qi” runs along specific meridians in the body. When one of these meridians is blocked or diverted, disease can occur. To correct this, fine needles are inserted at specific points, and balance is restored.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized over 50 conditions that acupuncture treats, including (but not limited to) asthma, migraine, tennis elbow, irritable bowel syndrome and low back pain.
