About Lynnette

Hello. My name is Lynnette (she/her). Whether you want to work on healing an injury or illness; have a particular wellness goal; or just want to slow down, rejuvenate, and feel great; I am here for you. I want to hold space for you to come as you are, so the innate healing power within you can flourish.

As a Registered Acupuncturist (R.Ac), I integrate various modalities of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) into my treatments which can include acupuncture, cupping, massage, gua sha, and/or personalized recommendations of food & wellness practices.

I came to acupuncture with 15+ years of experience and training in health and wellness – ranging from biomedical science to community health work, and nature-based somatic (embodiment) practices to crisis support work.

In my own experiences receiving acupuncture, I had often been inspired by its ability to not only treat the inflammation that had brought me in, but in the additional improvements I noticed in my sleep, digestion, and stress reduction. This holistic (whole-systems) approach of TCM led me to pursue acupuncture training.

My diverse past gives me an appreciation for integration and balance in my own healing journey, and in supporting others’. I value the integration of eastern and western medical lineages, and the balance of adapting ancient teachings and practices to treat individuals living in a modern world.

The Comox Valley has been my home-base since 2014, while I have also lived and worked in communities across the Island. I trained and received my Diploma in Acupuncture from Oshio College in Victoria. After becoming licensed as an R.Ac. I began my acupuncture career serving the rural and remote communities of the North Island from a small residential clinic in Sointula, BC. It is with excitement and gratitude that I’m bringing my practice back to the Comox Valley and joining the Inner Strength team.

Outside of work, I can often be found sitting quietly in the forest or beside a creek, riding my bicycles, or sharing food and sweet moments with friends and family. My other passions include gardening, fermentation, dancing, and chocolate!
