She is originally from Calgary and completed her training in Victoria, BC. After completing the pan-canadian board exam she moved back to Calgary to be with her family. During her postsecondary career and for a total of 10 years, Christina worked as a 𝘊𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵 𝘈𝘥𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘳 and assisted clients with finding supplementation and herbs at various health foods stores she worked at. She continues to further her studies in nutraceuticals, so that she may support her patients along with dietary suggestions.

She approaches each treatment with 𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚, 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙖𝙣 𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙣 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙 & 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩. In treatment, she looks through the lenses of: classical Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, 5 Element theory, orthopedics and traumatology. Oftentimes blending the lenses and using 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 + 𝒎𝒐𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒏 𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒉𝒏𝒊𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒔 in practice. Some of which include: traditional needling techniques combined with motor points, auriculotherapy, cupping, gua sha, food as medicine (Shi Liao) and self-care/ lifestyle recommendations.

Literally—we’re working with your nervous system, and that means we’re speaking the language of 𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏.

Tiny needles = big shifts.
Sometimes a dull ache, a tingle, or a warm wave... and then most people?
𝗢𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗱. Snoozing. Drooling.
(𝑾𝒆 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒂𝒔 𝒂 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕.)

So no, it’s not painful.
It’s less “ouch” and more “ohhhh.”

Still nervous? Come 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 it for yourself.

Anxiety often feels like you’re always bracing for impact, even when nothing is wrong.

At Botanical Point, we work gently with your body’s stress response. Acupuncture helps tell your nervous system, “𝒀𝒐𝒖’𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒇𝒆 𝒏𝒐𝒘.”

Clients often describe feeling like they can finally exhale — maybe for the first time in a long time.
It’s subtle, but powerful.

This is what we hold space for every day at Botanical Point. You’re not alone in this. 🫶

𝐖𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬!

Cupping not only feels great, but it is also diagnostically significant for the practitioner. It is another tool we have in our box to not only improve blood flow and release muscle tension. But also bringing the blood to the surface of the skin allows us to analyze the quality of the blood externally.

Acupuncture is not sensationless. However, the needles we use are TINY compared to the regular needles most people are familiar for immunizations and such. Acupuncturists are often searching for a sensation we call "da qi" - which is the arrival of qi. It is how the brain knows the acupuncture point is in the body. And since we are communicating with the nervous system - 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱! Often da qi will feel tingly, dull, achy, throbbing, hot, cold or itchy. But this sensation is usually temporary, and after a few minutes most clients relax, stop feeling any sensation and fall asleep.

Tuning forks! These are used in Acutonics and are a tool for vibrational healing. Additional training and certification is needed to use these forks. At Botanical Point we use them to ground and calm clients, which helps ease any anxiety and makes the treatment even more relaxing.
