Description
I'm a registered Dr. of Traditional Chinese Medicine in practice for more than 20 years (since 2001). I love taking a modern approach to the ancient practices of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), offering acupuncture, customized Chinese herbals, Chinese food cures, western nutrition, and supplements. I'm passionate about this medical system as you'll see if you check out my website or contact me with questions.

In-person visit
She is so amazing. She Listens and she patiently addresses concerns and she educates thoroughly! I felt so relaxed and almost fell asleep on my acupuncture session. She also puts this infrared lamp on my body during treatments that felt so divine. I went home and I fell asleep like a baby! I highly recommend Melissa Carr and her gentle approach!

Summary
I’m a registered Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which includes licensing as a registered acupuncturist and a registered TCM herbalist. I began my career in health with a Bachelors degree in Human Kinetics from the University of Guelph in Ontario where I learned how uniquely different each human body is from the next and how truly amazing we are. I live the recommendations I give, so if you have questions, I encourage you to ask me for help. Even though I have been in practice since 2001, I learn more and discover new tools every day, and I’m happy to share!
