Veronique Savoie R.Ac My name is Veronique Savoie and helping people feel their best has always been a passion of mine. I have worked for over 20 years in restaurants and that has given me a first hand look into the vast variety of people’s personalities, lifestyles, and needs. My passion for food was a natural segway towards holistic nutrition, from which I graduated in 2013. From then I dabbled in reflexology, herbology, and acupressure. It is during this exploration of other wellness modalities that I felt a calling with Acupuncture and its holistic approach. Since then, I have gained a special interest in women’s health, having furthered my studies under Rebecca Bergeron Doula/Acupuncturist, and taking numerous online courses in fertility. I have also recently taken extensive courses in Orthopedics and Sports Medicine with Acupuncture, merging a western perspective with TCM, and have deepened my understanding of Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture in both Halifax and New York.

I am fully bilingual in English and French (with some Spanish to spice things up). And a few fun facts about me? I have a hairless cat named Nebbi (short for Nebbiolo, my favourite wine grape). I studied wine for many years and am still involved in the wine world. And I LOVE cheese, so much so that I once went to New York for a 3 day cheese “bootcamp”. I am certified in Cosmetic Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, Cupping Therapy, Guasha Therapy, and ElectroAcupuncture. I also often talk about nutrition and suggest lifestyle recommendations as needed with my patients.
