Meet Kirsten Kirby:

A Holistic Journey Begins
Kirsten Kirby is a licensed acupuncturist with over 10 years of experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), specializing in women’s health, hormonal balance, and graceful aging. Her journey into holistic healing began after a year studying nursing in Calgary, where she realized her true passion lay in a more integrated, whole-body approach. This led her to Vancouver, where she trained extensively in acupuncture, cosmetic techniques, and the art of Chinese face reading.
Empowering Women Through Every Season
​Kirsten’s clinical focus centers around supporting women through every stage of hormonal change—from menstruation to menopause—using TCM-based therapies that promote balance, vitality, and inner harmony. She is currently advancing her knowledge by training to become a certified specialist in hormone therapy from an acupuncture and TCM perspective.
Care Rooted in Connection
With a strong background in sports therapy and chronic pain, Kirsten also works with individuals experiencing stubborn or unexplained discomfort, helping them find lasting relief and a return to ease in their bodies. However, her greatest joy comes from empowering women to feel confident, radiant, and connected to their bodies as they age.

Kirsten is known for her intuitive, compassionate care and for taking the time to truly listen. Her treatments are tailored, thoughtful, and rooted in deep respect for the body’s natural rhythms.
A Life in Balance
