Calyx is a Registered Acupuncturist who takes inspiration from the patterns and seasons of nature. With one hand in the green world of plants, and the other hand turning the pages of the Huangdi Neijing (one of the foundational classical texts), Calyx Donna Kuprowski earned a Dual Diploma of TCM Acupuncture and Western Phytotherapy (Clinical Herbalism) from Pacific Rim College in Coast Salish Territory (Victoria, B.C.).
Creative practices (B.FA., Emily Carr University of Art + Design) and therapeutic nature excursions with youth in addiction and mental health recovery, gave Calyx the experience to navigate the terrain of peoples’ significant life events. When change comes, whether through pain, fatigue, chronic conditions, or unanticipated emotions, it is helpful to have a collaborator who is skilled in observing, listening, asking questions, and applying knowledge.
Confidentiality and compassion are Calyx’s core values, while fostering an intelligent understanding of our strengths and wounds, as well as the physiological processes and environmental factors that are contributing to your whole health picture.
Acquiring knowledge through studying from an array of teachers and healing modalities, from trauma recovery to pulse diagnosis, Calyx created the treatment room to be an atmosphere where you can return home to your original nature (yuan benxing).
