Body centred,
land based medicines
that honour and respect
the wisdom of the body.
Hello, my name is Jennifer Apedaile.
With gratitude, I acknowledge that I am a settler honoured to be
living, working and learning to be a good guest
on the unceded (stolen) territories (tribal regions) of the Coast Salish,
Nuu Chah Nulth (New chan lulth), Kwakwak'wakw (Kwak wak ya wak),
Stl'atl'imc (Stat liem) and Nlaka'pamux (Ing-khla-kap-muh).
I am grateful to my TCM teachers; Dr.Yin and Dr.Hu
and to my Five Element Acupuncture teacher, Neil Gumenick.
I raise my hands in gratitude to my IFOT teachers;
Shirley Turcotte and Alannah Young
and to the Elders who support me in a good way.
I am a woman, sister, mother, and child of this earth.
I long to live in the wild places, of which there are few.
I continue to grow with and learn from
the trauma I experienced throughout my own life.
I am deeply committed to empowering health and wellness,
prioritizing individuals and communities who live with the impacts of trauma.
Classical Five Element Acupuncture and
Indigenous Focusing Oriented Therapy
are some of the tools I use to help support
the discovery of your innate capacity to heal
and live a self-directed life.
It would be an honour to work with you.
