Elena Soto, Acupuncturist
Meet Elena
Acupuncture Background
I studied traditional Chinese medicine for 3 years at Grant MacEwan University. I'm a member in good standing with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario (CTCMPAO). I'm also an instructor for the acupuncture program at TriOS college.
I treat a wide variety of conditions ranging from acute to chronic. Each treatment is tailored to the individual, and I focus on relieving symptoms and identifying underlying imbalances from a traditional Chinese medicine perspective.
Below are some examples of conditions and symptoms that may be supported with acupuncture, but the list is not exhaustive. If you're wondering whether acupuncture is right for you, I'm happy to meet for a free 15-min virtual chat.
