Welcome to Artifex Acupuncture
Welcome to Artifex Acupuncture
Born and raised in Edmonton, I'm a Registered Acupuncturist with a background in biomedical engineering, healthcare, traditional Chinese medicine, and athletics. These experiences have shaped an approach that values careful observation, precision, and adaptability.
I offer acupuncture in Edmonton to support individuals experiencing pain, muscle tension, limited mobility, stress, and challenges with recovery. Drawing from acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), I provide individualized treatments based on your health history, symptoms, and goals, with a focus on pain management, injury recovery, mobility, and overall well-being.
My approach combines traditional Chinese medicine with a background in biomedical engineering and healthcare to provide personalized acupuncture treatments that consider the whole person, not just their symptoms. Whether you're seeking acupuncture for pain relief, improved movement, stress management, or support during recovery, treatment is adapted to your individual needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.

Different forms of stress. One whole-person approach.
Stress isn't always psychological. It can show up as physical tension, restricted movement, difficulty unwinding, disrupted sleep, or the cumulative demands of everyday life.
At Artifex Acupuncture, I take an individualized approach to understanding how these different forms of stress may be affecting your well-being. My areas of focus include musculoskeletal discomfort, movement-related concerns, stress management, relaxation, and sleep-related difficulties.
My approach is informed by diverse training and a range of therapeutic perspectives, rather than being limited to a single style of acupuncture or a specific condition. I believe that different concerns call for different considerations, and I tailor treatment to the individual rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
My goal is to support comfort, function, and your ability to recover and adapt to life's demands.

What to Expect
What to Expect
Acupuncture uses very fine needles to stimulate specific points on the body. Treatment is generally gentle, and your experience may vary depending on the approach used and your individual response.
Your first visit begins with a conversation and individualized assessment, followed by treatment based on your presentation and goals. You don't need to know exactly what treatment you need before you arrive—we can determine that together.
