Acupuncture + Chinese Medicine Wellness Solutions for Multidimensional Beings
Is working with Kandiss right for you ?
We resonate with different styles of practice for different reasons. Choose what is right for you.
It is important for Kandiss to feel a sense of integrity with her authentic expression and unique style of practice, as she knows that when she works from that place, the possibilities for transformation are endless.
the following is a win-win scenario within the practitioner - client therapeutic relationship.
Kandiss may be a great fit for you if:
- Physical Vitality, Emotional Resilience and Spiritual Evolving are deep yearnings of your heart .
- You have an inkling that the effects of stress and traumatic events experienced by you or by your ancestral lineage may be contributing to how you currently feel in your body and in your life.
- You are seeking to gain greater clarity and feelings of ease through major life transitions such as loss of a job, career changes, relationship breakups / breakdowns or the rollercoaster of emotions that accompanies the fertility process.
- You are ready to take an empowered, collaborative approach to your health and wellness.
- You recognize that this empowered, collaborate approach to your health is a long-term, strategy (that has a cumulative effect) vs a quick fix . You are ready to take action one step at a time if feels right for you.
- You are interested in becoming more attuned to your inner guidance that already knows what your unique needs are for living a fulfilling and vital life.
- You recognize that the feeling of presence which may lead to transformation can shine light on uncomfortable places (aka physical, emotional, mental and spiritual "pain points"), but that when approached from a place of awareness and equanimity, healing and integration is not only possible but probable.
About KANDISS
I am Registered Acupuncturist and Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner impassioned about being a witness to the rediscovery of health in my own life and in the lives of my family, friends and the people around me.
How I found this path
After Graduating with a Bachelors Degree in Administration & Commercial Studies and a Diploma of Accounting from the University of Western Ontario, I worked in the accounting field for two years. During my time there I became aware that I was not living up to my true potential and life purpose.
This disharmony between what I wanted to do and what I was actually doing with my life was causing me to experience physical symptoms of illness. I know I had to make a change, as my life was no longer nourishing me physically, emotionally or spiritually.
In 2008 I made the decision to leave the accounting field to pursue an education in holistic healing methods, an interest that I have had since childhood. It is here that I experienced a new beginning in the realm of Chinese Medicine. It is this continuous transformational sense of renewal that inspires me onwards in my own inner work and with my work with others.
