Dr. Rose Galikas Watson
Modality of Care: Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, Cupping, Herbology
I have always had a deep passion for supporting others and a pure fascination with our body’s capacity to heal. Through many blessings, I was able to get my undergrad in Kinesiology and my Doctorate in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Being able to follow my dreams and awaken the fire inside of me has been a product of an army of individuals. I honour that now I can give back to them and many others.
My practice is centered around Traditional Chinese Medicine and all that it encompasses - acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, auricular acupuncture, acupressure, dietary and lifestyle advice, and cupping to name a few. I am here to support, educate, share knowledge and listen. I believe in our connection to our bodies innate wisdom and the power of nature.
I look forward to being part of the team that awakens the fire within you.
Other credentials: Bachelors in Kinesology, Mentoring Doctor to TCM practicum students, 4 years as a CAAA Exam Committee Member and Examiner, Item Writer for the Pan Canadian Exam for Acupuncturists, Owner of The Way Holistic Collective.
