Dr. Selina Bourgeois is a Doctor of Acupuncture and a graduate from the Alberta College of Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine. She initially sought out an alternative approach to healing with acupuncture, herbs and diet therapy when the conventional methods were not helping. This sparked a desire to work in the healing arts to bring this to other people. She started out with a Registered Massage Therapist diploma and has since expanded to learning to work with the body in a more detailed and holistic manner.
She is extremely passionate about the holistic approach to health and wellness, and is spreading the word on how important it is to practice self care from all angles. The Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture approach was the perfect fit for this, as it directs the body to heal itself and treats the person specifically, instead of just the symptoms one is experiencing. It can also be combined with Western medicine when needed.
When she is not treating patients, you can find her doing continuing education courses, reading all kinds of different books, spending time in nature, spending time with friends and family, and any kind of movement from yoga and Pilates to lifting weights.
Her specialties include treating digestive issues, anxiety/depression, insomnia, fertility/prenatal/labour induction, gynecological issues including perimenopause/menopause, facial rejuvenation and all pain conditions. Selina uses a combination of acupuncture, herbs, cupping, gua sha, electro-stimulation, and motor points as part of her treatments.
