Raised a multicultural household,
Dr. Angela was surrounded by a wide variety of health and wellness practices from various traditions during her life.
When her younger sister was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, her world shifted. Suddenly, her family was immersed in a world of doctor’s appointments, treatment plans, and navigating the complexities of a chronic condition. What stood out most to her during that time was not only the importance of weaving nutrition, botanicals and other natural therapies into a conventional approach, but also the lasting impact that healthcare practitioners can have on someone’s personal journey toward better health and wellness. Through this holistic lens, Dr.Angela’s goal is to be your guide, sharing knowledge, offering options, and empowering you to make informed decisions about your care.
Dr.Angela’s practice is focused on hormone health, digestive health, pediatrics, and mental health — areas that are close to her heart. As a mother herself, Dr.Angela understands the unique challenges young families face, and is passionate about providing support during these important years. She’s also deeply interested in the hormonal shifts that people experience from puberty to menopause and the significant role these changes play in physical and emotional well-being. Dr.Angela works with patients to create balance during these transitions, so they feel strong, grounded, and empowered.
At the centre of her practice is the belief that education and collaboration are key to lasting wellness. As a teacher and guide, Dr.Angela strives to illuminate what’s happening inside the body and help her patients understand the signals their bodies are sending them and how everything is connected. Dr.Angela is here to help you uncover the root cause of your symptoms and support you in creating a treatment plan that works for you. Together, you can find the path that aligns with your needs and values, so you can thrive and feel confident in your body and in your life. Dr.Angela looks forward to supporting you on your health journey.

Patients describe Elise as an empathetic and compassionate practitioner and appreciate her gentle needle technique. Inspired by the way TCM acupuncture promotes overall wellness instead of solely combating disease, her focus is on treating the underlying factors contributing to imbalance for sustainable relief, helping patients focus on the fundamentals of health: nourishing food, movement, quality of sleep and rest, mindfulness and breathwork practice.
Elise grew up in the lower mainland and obtained her BA at UBC before moving abroad for many years. Upon returning to Canada, she studied four years of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture at the International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Vancouver and completed a series of National Board Exams to earn her licence through the CTCMA. Her passion for learning has included a variety of post graduate studies with renowned experts in the the field, including an internship focussed on women’s health and fertility. Keen to understand the common ground between Traditional Chinese Medicine and bio-medical paradigms, she is a member of the Society for Acupuncture Research.
Since completing her education, she has worked in a variety of settings including corporate healthcare, community acupuncture and private clinics, and has successfully treated children and adults of diverse backgrounds in all phases of life. She is experienced in a wide range of modalities including acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, guasha, dietary therapy and breath-work. Botanical medicine is another of Elise’s passions and she has worked since 2018 in a herbal apothecary.

Please note, Dr.Rochelle Harder will be transitioning to virtual only care effective June 26th.
Born on the Saskatchewan prairies, I spent a lot of time outside, immersed in the natural world. I had an innate curiosity for the way things worked - especially the human body in its infinite complexity. When my father was diagnosed with diabetes I intuitively felt there was so much more we could do before turning to medications. By improving his diet and making small changes to his lifestyle, he was able to regulate his blood sugar and avoid pharmaceuticals for many years, which shocked and impressed his doctors.
While I was already interested in nutrition and health, empowering my father to take charge of his own wellbeing changed my perspective on what wellness really means. When I learned of Naturopathic Medicine and how it seeks to address the root cause of illness and not just symptoms, something clicked. Every human body is striving for equilibrium: by treating the whole person and removing barriers to optimal function, I believe everyone can experience health in balance.
Connecting with patients and providing them with the resources to own their health journey is one of the most fulfilling aspects of my practice. I work with each patient individually to improve foundations of health starting with small but profound changes so that these shifts can amplify to benefit future health and prevent disease. I welcome all questions so you fully understand the inner workings of your body and treatment.
I consider myself a humble guide in your health journey and acknowledge that each patient arrives in my office at different states of readiness so I work with you to determine the best treatment plan for results.
I look forward to supporting you!
Dr. Rochelle is a member in good standing of the College of Naturopathic Physicians of British Columbia (CNPBC), British Columbia Naturopathic Doctors (BCND), and the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND)

LuAnne loves to move! She is convinced that it is everyone’s birthright to move in their bodies with as much ease and joy as possible. With this conviction she considers herself blessed to be a Registered Massage Therapist, acting as conduit of healing and holistic therapy for others to enjoy their “best self” in this Earth playground and sanctuary. Her intuition, knowledge and experience serves her well to know which of the “tools to use” in her toolkit of expertise. (These tools include myofascial release, muscular releases from bones and from themselves; i.e., Swedish and Deep Tissue massage, trigger point therapy and joint mobilizations - to name a few.)
LuAnne believes that no two persons are alike, and in fact, no one person is the same as they were in past time. You are uniquely you from others and from how you were before now. Therefore she has crafted her skill to always treat the person she sees in the present given time. She calls it Carefully Crafted Care. She would love to see you and care for YOU!

I am from a lovely small town in County Kildare, Ireland. As a child, I often felt I was quite different: I was very shy and sensitive around other people; however, I never quite understood why until I was in my 30s! Before this discovery, I graduated from school, went on to study for a Degree in Environmental Health, and worked for the Scottish and Irish Governments for over10 years. During this time I got to travel the world! Life was pretty good! Or so I thought…
In 2011-2012, I herniated a disc in my back. It was a pain I will never forget. The regular medical route was helpful to a basic degree; however, the pain medications were not working for me and I knew that there had to be an alternative. So, I started my research and found chiropractic and osteopathy which helped, but only to a certain level. My intuition told me there was more to be done.
A friend of a friend suggested that I go see a “Healer”. I was reluctant at first given my science-orientated brain. However, I really wanted to feel better. I plucked up the courage to see Brian McCullen, a Reiki Master, who within 3 sessions, helped to guide me to about 70% pain-free. It absolutely amazed me! Brian’s encouragement helped me to work on the emotional and spiritual parts of myself, which I was not fully aware of prior to these healing sessions. I started to see myself in a different light.
A few months later I started to train with Brian. Three years later and pain-free, I became a Reiki Master. Those three years were filled with self-discovery where I put in the work. That work included recognizing myself as a lot more than whom I thought I was. It required courage, patience, and an open heart.
Since coming to Vancouver in 2015, I have worked with amazing health practitioners specializing in Cancer Care, Chronic Pain, and Exercise Therapy. I have a talented team of healthcare professionals around me who have seen the benefit of my treatments and genuinely want their clients to feel better. Those referrals create balance and support for the client’s journey. Helping individuals reconnect to the emotional and energetic field can often be the missing piece on their path to wellness.
For me, empowering people as they journey through cancer treatment has been one of the many highlights of my practice, as well as working with healthcare workers on their own journeys. It warms my heart to see the missing pieces fall into place. My belief is that everyone has the ability to feel better: what’s in the way, well, that is what we look at.
It takes courage to surrender and ask for help. The most difficult part of healing is to ask for support.

Cherry is a Registered Acupuncturist in Vancouver BC with a doctorate degree in acupuncture. She is
also a registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner in Hong Kong for over 10 years.
Raised in a family with generations of medical background, she has extensive exposure to both traditional Chinese and Western medicines.
She focuses on helping individuals restore physical balance and recover from other chronic and systemic
conditions so that they can enjoy life with improved mobility, flexibility and overall wellness.
If you have symptoms and conditions that have bothered you for years and have not been relieved, or you are looking to build a better balance in body structure, come and see Cherry.
Cherry also heals herself with acupuncture. Enlightened by the process of healing, she sees the human body as a river: smooth flow enhances vitality whereas stagnant flow creates blockages. Most tension, pain and degeneration are rooted in structural misalignment and blockages. When the human body has restored supply of blood and nurturing energies, it will start its own healing process.
More than pain management, Cherry uses acupuncture to relieve blockages and misalignments that
are closely related to a diverse range of dermatological, digestive, gynecological, immunological,
neurological, respiratory, sleep and mood disorders.
With her delicate needling and palpation techniques, she tailors effective treatment for individuals to restore balance and mobility for lasting wellness, from head to toe.
