Christian is a Registered Acupuncturist (R.Ac) and Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner (R.TCMP).
Growing up in Germany, herbal medicine, whole foods and other alternative modalities were always the go-to in his family. Following his deep longing for nature and wilderness, Christian came to Canada, where he met his wife and immersed himself in a homesteading lifestyle - growing food, keeping bees, collecting herbs, etc. In this DIY life it became apparent that holistic, patient-centred health care is a very important piece in creating resilient and self-sufficient local communities. In order to assist and empower himself and others in achieving and maintaining mental, emotional and physical balance, Christian attended ITM in Toronto starting in 2016, to learn acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping and other adjunct modalities. He now practices in Kingston, Belleville and surrounding areas, and is grateful every day to be sharing this ancient medicine with a modern community.
I have been providing classical and traditional Chinese medicine since 1994. My training includes Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Classical, Five-Element and Japanese acupuncture, as well as contemporary trigger-point acupuncture and dry needling.
I take a trauma-informed, somato-sensory approach to care. Over the years I have completed advanced training in: sports injuries, oncology acupuncture, mental and behavioral health, pediatric, pregnancy and post-partum care, LGBTQIA+ and trans-specific acupuncture, and advanced diagnoses for chronic illness.
I have been fortunate to have studied with some of the great masters including Richard Tan, Kiiko Matsumoto, Miki Shima and others who have pioneered integrating acupuncture within a contemporary world.
My mission is to help you reach your health goals - naturally!
