Shanie Rechner
R.TCMP, R.Ac
Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner
Registered Acupuncturist
An alumni of the International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Vancouver, Shanie graduated from the 5 year Doctor program. During her 4th year, she travelled to Taiwan and learnt at the Taipei Tzu Chi General Hospital as well as in the private sector with 2 past chief of staffs. Her biggest take away from her internship abroad was the excitement gained to become part of a generation of practitioners who can play a role in fostering the important collaboration between Western and Eastern medicine. Additional studies of hers include 2 years at Grant MacEwan University; There she completed the Holistic Health Practitioner program with a focus in Nutrition, Western Herbology and Acupressure.
Growing up, Shanie could always be found out on a court, a field or the ice. This played a part in her discovery of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) when she was met with a performance affecting injury. While acupuncture was introduced as a tool for helping the physical body with pain management and recovery time, it wasn’t until she learnt TCM encompasses a holistic approach that she knew it would become the discipline she would utilize for helping others.
With a strong focus on clear communication and an eagerness to educate, Shanie hopes to enhance your quality of life by providing you a better understanding of your body and overall health.
All and any patients are welcome to Shanie’s practise, and she notes special interest in concerns regarding mental-emotional health, pain & stress management, digestive health, along with nutrition.
