A Passion for Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture

Antonella Turchiaro is a Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner and Registered Acupuncturist in good standing with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario (CTCMPAO). Inspired by a life-altering experience and the remarkable efficacy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), she has dedicated her career to promoting health, vitality, and balance through this holistic approach to healthcare.

Holistic Approach to Healing

TCM views the body as a microcosm of the natural cycles occurring in the universe, where interconnectedness reigns supreme. The energy force known as "Qi" flows through a network of meridians, nourishing and sustaining health. When balanced, "Qi" ensures optimal functioning and wellbeing. However, factors such as stress, overwork, poor diet, and environmental stressors can disrupt this delicate balance, leading to illness.

Empowering Your Health Journey

Dr. Turchiaro utilizes various TCM modalities to restore harmony and balance in her patients' lives. These include:

• Acupuncture: Precise needle insertion at specific points regulates energy flow and restores balance.
• Moxibustion: Burning of the aromatic herb mugwort on or near acpoints enhances energy circulation.
• Tuina Massage: Gentle, synchronized bodywork improves circulation and energy flow.
• Cupping: Negative pressure created by suction cups enhances circulation and facilitates tissue release.
• Gua Sha: Scraping technique using jade or porcelain tools relaxes tension and improves circulation.
• TCM Nutrition and Herbal Medicine: Traditional dietary guidance and herbal formulas support overall health.

Dedicated to Wellness

Dr. Turchiaro has been practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine since 2003 and has dedicated herself to providing compassionate care, education, and personalized treatment plans to her clients. She is a passionate advocate for natural medicine and is committed to empowering individuals to take control of their health journeys.
