Acupuncture
Holistic approach to wellness.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an effective way to diagnose, treat and prevent illness as well as maintain your health based on thousands of years of medical practice. TCM is based on the belief that your body’s energy known as Qi flows through a complex system of pathways known as meridians, and that health is determined by the balance of this energy. Imbalances in this system may then result in physical and/or emotional pathologies.
We will use various methods to help our patients keep their spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical health in balance such as:
- Acupuncture (thin needles inserted at specific points on the body)
- Cupping (warmed glass jars to create suction on certain points of the body)
- Gua Sha (scrapping a massage tool across skin)
- Moxibustion (herbs burned near the skin)
- Movement and Concentration Exercises (such as Qi Gong)
- Acupressure Massage Techniques (such as Tui Na)
- Herbal Remedies and Dietary Suggestions
WHAT TO EXPECT: Our Acupuncturist will discuss your medical history in detail to tailor your treatment plan to ensure an effective holistic approach to wellness.

Tracy received her diploma in Acupuncture from The Canadian College of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, where she earned the Certificate for Clinical Excellence. She is a registered member in good standing with the Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine Association of Nova Scotia.
She offers a natural ability to put patients at ease and make them feel heard, while utilizing her skills to create a targeted treatment plan tailored to her patients’ unique needs. She has successfully treated cases of chronic pain, digestive disorders, insomnia, anxiety, mental health and musculoskeletal conditions, among many other health issues. She uses a combination of acupuncture, tui na, fire cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, and electro-stimulation to treat her patients.
Prior to her studies of Chinese Medicine, Tracy managed robotics automation projects for the insurance industry. Some might question what prompted such a career shift, but in reality there are many parallels: investigating the needs of a team; unearthing the cause of an issue; finding creative solutions; and communicating across various languages and countries. Tracy leverages these skills to serve her patients, helping them bring their health back to balance.
She resides in Dartmouth with her two sons and dog, Pixel. She enjoys exploring beautiful Nova Scotia through camping, hiking, and kayaking, as well as traveling the world to learn about other cultures.
Tracy is excited to be working with the team at Cole Harbour Physio & Rehab and is accepting new patients.
