Suka is the owner and founder of Acupoint Wellness Centre. She is a registered acupuncturist in Vancouver, BC with over 10 years of experience. She has always had a passion for healthcare. From the time she was young she knew instinctively that she wanted to help others.

As a former gymnast and professional dancer, Suka is no stranger to stress, hard work, and pain management. Plagued with multiple injuries she decided to give acupuncture a try as a last resort. A true skeptic and a scaredy-cat about needles, she was willing to try anything to keep doing the one thing that she loved. After only one session she had instant relief of pain which started her on the path to truly healing her injuries. Awed and inspired by this ancient system of medicine she became a believer, and after 15 years of dancing she decided to hang up her dance shoes and study this intriguing art of traditional Chinese medicine. She studied acupuncture at Pacific Coast University – College of Holistic Medicine. From there she went on to the International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine to complete her program of Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Her main focus is treating myofascial pain using acupuncture trigger point therapy and acupoint injection therapy for sports / work related injuries and pain management. She is certified by the Society of Acupoint Injection Therapy for Biopuncture and Vitamin injection therapy.

Today, Suka practices at her clinic in downtown Vancouver, BC. With a compassionate heart and the passion to heal, she truly cares about her patients and the well-being of those around her.

Alison is an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner based in Vancouver, BC. She holds a Master in Practice of Osteopathic Manipulative Sciences (MOMSc) from the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy and a Bachelor of Arts (Honours Specialization in Kinesiology) from Western University. She is also a member in good standing with Osteopathy Canada (OSTCAN).

Alison believes the place you feel pain isn’t always the place the problem starts. The body is a connected system, and a restriction in one area can change how everything around it moves and functions. Her approach looks beyond the symptom to understand the bigger picture, how the body is moving, where it is restricted, and how these restrictions may be contributing to discomfort.

Treatment is hands-on and individualized. Rather than chasing symptoms or repeatedly treating the area that hurts, Alison works to address the structural restrictions that may be contributing to the problem. By improving mobility and reducing restrictions throughout the body, the goal is to restore balance and allow the body to function more efficiently and with greater ease.

As a former competitive hockey player, varsity flag football athlete, and now a dedicated distance runner, Ali understands how discouraging it can be when pain or injury prevents you from doing what you love. Her goal is to help patients move better, feel better, and return to the activities that matter most to them.
