At Rebalance, our registered acupuncturists don't just focus on the disease, injury or diagnosis. Instead, they utilize a more holistic approach investigating your body as a whole, looking at your body systems as well as your mental and emotional health.

Gigi completed the Advanced TCM program at the Toronto School of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Her drive and passion for alternative medicine, health, fitness and nutrition are in her DNA.

She also has experience with the treatment and accommodation of mental health, addiction and trauma issues. She believes a healthy strong mind contributes to a healthy strong body and soul.
