Jade Farr
Jade is a licensed Acupuncturist (R.Ac), her training was obtained at the Tzu Chi International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Vancouver, BC. She offers a personalised, integrative approach that focuses on building strong connections with clients to address both the symptoms and underlying causes of chronic health concerns.
Jade’s interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) stems from her personal experience with Rheumatoid Arthritis during early childhood and adolescence. Observing the limitations of conventional treatments, as a young adult Jade was encouraged to explore integrated health methods and lifestyle medicine, including TCM. These perspectives underscored the multi-faceted nature of human health and the importance of genuinely understanding one's body to support overall well-being.
Guided by this insight, Jade has developed a profound appreciation for the fusion of Eastern and Western medicine. Recognising the benefits of ancient practices like Acupuncture when used alongside advancements in modern medicine, she believes a comprehensive and balanced approach to healthcare that addresses the root cause can be achieved.
Keen on fostering family-focused care, Jades’ practice naturally gravitates towards women's health - supporting hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, stress-related emotional disorders, and more. Her passion extends to sharing her knowledge and educating younger generations, families, and communities about these practices, creating a supportive environment where everyone can understand and encourage each other's health journey. With a holistic approach and focus on personalised care, Jade strives to empower individuals to take an active role in their well-being, cultivating vitality, self-confidence, and resourcefulness for effective self-management amid their own unique health challenges.

RMT
I discovered massage therapy through my own journey to recovery through personal injury. This process has been deeply intertwined with the development of a dedicated yoga practice and studying somatic movement therapy. After completing a yoga teacher training in 2011, it was clear that the next step was entering the health care field through massage therapy. I completed my studies at the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy. I draw on a variety of treatment techniques including Swedish massage, deep tissue, cranio-sacral, myofascial release, neuro muscular therapy, trigger point release, deep tissue, and joint mobilizations. My approach is holistic, integrating mind and body, using breath work to develop awareness and healing. I also enjoy working with women’s health, providing support though out pregnancy and assistance with rebuilding balance after delivery.
Previous to my time in Vancouver I focused on studying fine art in the mediums of metalsmithing, drawing, and design. In addition, I apprenticed and mastered the art of craft cocktail bartending as well as pursued a career in event and restaurant management. I now find balance between my time as therapist, and as a working artist, often finding inspiration while exploring the great outdoors with my wolf friend.

I’ve always held an appreciation and understanding of the human body, what it’s capable of and its innate capacity to heal.
Through breath, self education and practising body awareness we tune in and find our own rhythm which is conducive to healing.
Most of my career has been dedicated to practising in Luxury Spas and Ski Resorts in Colorado, Banff and Valemount working with athletes and those who share a love of the outdoors.
A few things I love — music, laughing, hand written notes, first light, ocean swims and whims of any sort.
Thank You for being here,
Karli
