Why are you a member of TCMO?
I am passionate about TCM & A and advocating for our profession and supporting individuals that do this.
Special focus areas:
Working in a smaller city like Peterborough with very few acupuncturists, I see just about everything in a week. Most of my practice is women between ages 25-60, but I do also see a lot of seniors in their 70s and 80s as well as men. I treat pain, fertility and menstrual cycle support, digestion, sleep, stress, cosmetic acupuncture and everything in between.
Conditions you love to treat:
Knee pain and dysmenorrhea
Looking back on your career, what is is something you’ve learned that shapes how you practice:
Building confidence has immensely shaped how I practice because it transfers to patients and how they perceive me, acupuncture and treatment.
One thing you always tell patients:
“Warm drinks!”
The last CEU course you signed up for was:
Micro-needling for Acupuncturists
Practice location: 386 Burnham St Peterborough ON courtneycartmel.ca
