In addition to her knowledge from the traditional medicines from China, Japan and India and her background in psychology and counseling, Ingrid is constantly taking workshops and courses to upgrade and incorporate the new and latest technology and information into her practice. She is a life long learner and loves working with people to become healthier and happier. "Being Creative and using my knowledge and experience over the last 26 years of working in the health care field, I have become somewhat of an expert on pain both acute and chronic. I have recently moved back to BC to Qualicum Beach and am looking forward to doing what I do best - helping people reduce or eliminate pain. I take a wholistic approach and work using a fusion of techniques and blending my knowledge of both eastern and western traditions. People often ask me why I don't train other practitioners to do what I do, and to be honest, it is impossible. As an Acupuncturist, Shiatsu Therapist, Therapeutic Laser Therapist, Meditation Teacher and a counselor, I draw on all of my training and knowledge to help people. You can't box that and sell it." "My mission is to support people who seek to explore and rediscover their true selves, and to support peoples journey to better health through one on one sessions, consultations, workshops and classes that I have designed. My focus is on finding hidden patterns, making connections and finding solutions to create better health and well being."
