Melissa Wheaton is a Registered Acupuncturist with the College
of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncturists of B.C. She is a graduate of the 5 year Dr.TCM program from the International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Vancouver. During her training she had the fortunate opportunity to intern at the China Medical University Hospital in Taiwan, where she followed many accomplished doctor's. This experience gave her the insight of a true integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western medicine. Melissa's passion for health led her to study nutrition at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition in 2000. She believes that diet play's a vital role in any treatment plan. She is registered with
the International Organization of Nutritional Consultants.
Throughout her life she has been involved in many activities,
where she gained a true awareness of the relationship between a healthy
body and a healthy life. Melissa moved to the Sea to Sky in 1997,
where she fell in love with a lifestyle driven by outdoor activities.
She appreciates the vital importance of living close to nature to
optimize physical, mental, and spiritual well being.
Melissa approaches each treatment with compassion, and takes into consideration the person as a whole. Her aim is
to not only eliminate symptoms, but also to treat the underlying
cause, increase function of the body, and to improve vitality.
When she is not helping you reach your health goals you can
find her enjoying the many activities that the Sea to Sky has to offer, hiking with her dogs, or out digging in her vegetable garden.
