Dr. Danielle Nielson, TCM
Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Specialist
A Natural Approach to Balance and Vitality
Dr. Danielle Nielson is a dedicated, compassionate practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) specialising in acupuncture. Her journey into this field is wonderfully unique: after adopting her first horse in 2020, she initially set out to become an equine chiropractor. However, as she delved into the deep foundations of TCM, she felt an undeniable pull toward healing people instead.
A graduate of the Alberta College of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, Danielle is a registered member of both the College of Acupuncturists of Alberta and the Alberta Association of Acupuncturists and Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctors. Her approach to healing is profoundly holistic—focusing on restoring balance, alleviating pain, and empowering you to embrace your body’s innate healing potential.
Areas of Clinical Expertise
Danielle is deeply passionate about making acupuncture accessible and helping her patients feel their absolute best. Her special interests include:
Women’s Health & Fertility: Providing natural, effective solutions for cycle regulation, pain management, IVF support, and labour induction.
Facial Acupuncture: A holistic approach to aesthetics that stimulates collagen and elastin production, reduces fine lines, and promotes lymphatic drainage. These treatments offer a full-body approach to anti-ageing.
Holistic Health Coaching: She complements her acupuncture practice with a health coaching certificate from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and a 200-hour yoga teacher training completed in India.
Beyond the Clinic
For Danielle, wellness is a lifestyle. Outside of her practice, you will often find her finding balance through movement and nature—whether she is spending time with her horse, flowing through a hot yoga class, or relaxing in a cosy café with a good book. She deeply values time spent with her family, cherishing moments of laughter, support, and togetherness.
