Elmira Olson, B.Sc. R.Ac.

Registered Acupuncturist

 

I have completed the three year Acupuncture program at MacEwan University, earning my diploma in 2006. As an optional part of this program, I travelled to China and completed a one month internship at the Heze Medical College.  While there, I had the opportunity to tour several hospitals and attend lectures on a variety of subjects.

This experience allowed me to gain first hand knowledge of traditional Chinese Medicine in the country where it has been practiced for thousands of years.

 

 

During the past few years, I have integrated additional training in:

-gua sha
-motor point therapy for muscle and joint pain
-pre-natal acupuncture
-cosmetic acupuncture
-pediatric acupuncture (Japanese Shonishin acupuncture)

In addition to my diploma in Acupuncture, I have also completed a four year honours degree in Biology at the University of Saskatchewan.
