healing together
My holistic practice philosophy is meeting you where you are, cultivating an environment of kind, compassionate inquiry where we identify existing challenges and take intentional steps towards achieving your health objectives. My practice is based on the understanding that the body innately knows how to heal itself and its potential can be optimized through acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, rest, movement, and everyday lifestyle habits.
​
My greatest joy is witnessing people increase their quality of life and live vibrant, pain-free lives through the power of natural medicine. I integrate Eastern and Western medicine, using a variety of tools like detailed intakes, pulse reading, tongue diagnosis, and reviewing lab exams to understand your condition and constitution. Treatment protocols feature acupuncture, herbs, and self-care strategy, alongside modalities like cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, tui na, and energy healing.
I treat a range of conditions including acute injuries, chronic back and joint pain, sciatica, headaches, fatigue, anxiety, depression, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, and fertility challenges. Book an in-person appointment with Andrea at Nurture and Flo in Cook Street Village or Spring Wellness in Quadra Village.
​
For online patients, I offer custom herbal protocols, naturopathic-grade supplements (through Full Script), and self-care recommendations to empower you with tools to feel better and live your most vibrant life. Book an online consult with Andrea.
​
At its core, healing is participatory and requires our willingness to lean into positive change with gentleness and self-compassion. Supporting you on the journey towards whole body wellness is my path, passion, and commitment.
