Say Hello to doreen hill

Doreen Hill is the newest member of our fantastic team 

Doreen Hill is a registered Acupuncturist now operating out of our Nanaimo location. Here's what she has to say:

"I am frequently asked how I came to be an Acupuncturist and what journey brought me to where I am today. You see, I worked for many years for a Crown Corporation in Saskatchewan. As a student for life, I discovered the need to feel that the career choice I made needed to be of value and to make a difference in the lives of others. Therefore, I enrolled in a 4-year program studying Chinese Medicine and began studying in earnest. 

 I am very proud to say that I am Board Certified through the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of British Columbia (CTCMA). I have been in private practice in New Westminster since 2004. Further family demands and a lifestyle change brought me to Nanaimo.

Acupuncture is a tremendous resource for health and healing. I treat many complaints, especially age-related conditions by women over the age of 30. These could be stress, lifestyle, hormonal or digestive in nature. I also see many conditions experienced by seniors well into their 90's. Complaints of overall body pain, or localized pain in the hip, back, neck, shoulders and knees. 

Cosmetic acupuncture treatments are an alternative to costly cosmetic procedures such as botox and fillers. This relaxing, pampering treatment is NON NEEDLE and uses micro stimulation instead. You will look younger – possibly anywhere from 5 to 15 years younger, have more energy, be more relaxed and feel great! With this technology, I also treat skin lesions such as acne, rosacea and scar tissue.
To complete these spa treatments, I carry professional quality, effective Elastin and Collagen products that I use with my facial treatments. 

In closing, my love of alternative health care began with reflexology and it has brought me into the world of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. I bring all of my alternative medicine background into my treatments as I treat a multitude of health complaints. I will take the time to do a thorough investigation of your condition and use a combination of herbal and homeopathic therapies plus assorted bodywork techniques to encourage a shift in your condition."

Testimonials

​Raynaud’s Syndrome
"I along with my mother and three sisters, have suffered with Raynaud’s Syndrome all my life. In July of 2008, after enduring endless ice-cold fingers and feet, my boyfriend a vetran of acupuncture treatments, arranged for me to visit Doreen Hill, for an acupuncture treatment focused on Raynaud’s. Previous to this visit, I had tried Cayenne Pepper and various herbs, but nothing gave significant or lasting relief. Positive results were felt within a couple of days of my 1st acupuncture treatment, and after my second visit, one week later, my condition improved approx. 95%!! These results, and how quickly they have occurred, is nothing short of amazing to me. I’m just not sure who’s happier, My boyfriend, Me or Doreen."

Thank You. Jody W – Greater Vancouver, BC

Feeling Better
"I just wanted to follow up with you regarding my treatment yesterday. I feel like I am walking about 2 feet off the ground today. I am usually in a good mood while at work; but today, I feel so super good. So thank you so much. I just had to give you feedback on how wonderful I feel. Thank you!"

“Doreen is a gifted acupuncturist, not solely because she does an excellent job in effectively treating what ails you, but more so she is gifted in ways that no school can teach. Her true gift is how she interacts with her patients. Her empathy is reassuring and refreshing. Doreen is unique in that she is not running room-to-room attending to several patients simultaneously; rather she dedicates the entire appointment time to a single patient. Her calm demeanor and the fact that you have her undivided attention leaves her patients feeling sincerely cared for and listened to. Doreen takes copious notes in order to track progress and to document the treatment provided and has been known to follow-up with a phone call or email after-the-fact just to see how you’re making out since the session. Now that’s personal service and a health care provider who truly does care!” Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity.

Brenda B. New Westminster, BC.
