Katrina Dollano, R.Ac, R.TCMP – President
TCMO Board Member Since 2022 – LinkedIn –
Katrina, a Chinese medicine practitioner and acupuncturist with over 16 years of clinical expertise, proudly serves as the Vice President of the TCMO. Alongside her roles as a wife, mother, and owner of the Oakville-based clinic, What’s Good, Katrina is a passionate advocate for her profession. Having actively engaged with colleagues to successfully halt the Ontario government’s attempted deregulation of acupuncture and Chinese medicine in 2022, Katrina witnessed the transformative power of collective action. Motivated by this experience, she joined the TCMO to continue championing the profession and support practitioners who play a vital role in providing healthcare to hundreds of thousands of Ontarians annually.
Outside of her clinic, Katrina, a self-professed nerd, can be found “geeking out” in the study of Chinese medicine or with her husband, chasing after their two very spirited and rambunctious children.
