Hi! I'm Malakai. I am an acupuncturist, mom to three wonderfully wild kiddos and backyard plant and chicken enthusiast. I am a quirky, imperfect human doing my best to show up each day and it is my greatest pleasure to get to witness and hold space for others working to do the same. At the core of my practice and life, I believe that we all have unique gifts to share and in order to do so we must tap into and offer the most authentic versions of ourselves with the world.
I offer my studio in the garden as a place for you to rest, cultivate wellness and reconnect with your body's innate healing capacity. My practice is heart centered and trauma informed and I am passionate about helping those navigating life transitions and challenges including: pregnancy and postpartum, fertility, perimenopause and mental health challenges.
I am a Registered Acupuncturist in good standing with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of British Columbia and am a member of the Obsetrical Acupuncture Association. I completed my training at the International College for Traditional Chinese Medicine Vancouver and Pacific Rim College and have specialized training in Acupuncture for Pregnancy, Labour and Postpartum, Menstrual and Hormonal Health, Fertility, Mental Health and Trauma. I am currently pursuing mentorship in the the diagnostic tool of face reading through the lineage of Lillian Bridges. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Therapeutic Recreation with a focus in Mental Health.
