Hi, my name is Tonya Coutts and I am a graduate of the Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture program at CITCM. I have recently returned from a six week internship in China and I am very excited to integrate this experience into my practice. I feel very blessed to have the opportunity to learn Chinese Medicine.
I began my journey towards becoming a TCMD with an interest in nutrition and diet therapy. I felt that my years as a Chef would enable me to impart simple variations using principles from Chinese Medicine in an individual’s meal planning and enable self healing. Acupuncture, I have found, when used in conjunction with Ancient Chinese Diagnosis techniques such as tongue diagnosis and pulse reading enables me to improve the body’s own healing processes; improve immunity and regulate emotions. Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine also plays an important role in balancing the body’s systems. I have incorporated Auricular Therapy into my practice. My training and certification in Auricular Medicine (ear diagnosis and treatment) gives my patients an alternative to acupuncture needles and has the benefit of prolonging treatment effects.
I believe my enthusiasm, commitment, open mind and patience will be a benefit to your health.
