Jenica (she/her) is a Registered Acupuncturist who currently resides on the unceded territories of the Lekwungen-Speaking and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples in Victoria. Starting this September she is both excited and honoured to be providing care and treatment for those residing in and around the Cowichan Valley, on the lands of the Hul’q’umi’num Coast Salish Peoples. She is looking forward to exploring nearby forests, rivers, and mountains and is open to your favorite suggestions!

Jenica was born on the First Nation’s territory of the Gixtan and Wetʼsuwetʼen peoples, now known as Smithers and Hazelton in British Columbia. She is from the land of her ancestors -mainly the British Isles on her mothers side and Eastern Europe on her fathers side.

In her practice, she advocates for our innate individual and collective capacity for healing and sees her role as a facilitator to support the healing of her patients. Jenica values that each patient is an expert of their own experience, body, and needs and she strives to compassionately hold a non-judgemental space while working together with her patients to restore the internal organ systems and build upon the body’s inherent wisdom and capacity to heal.

In addition to her private practice, Jenica supervises acupuncture students studying at Pacific Rim College in Victoria and works as a clinical assistant for Alaine Duncan’s Tao of Trauma certification program. This year-long program integrates theoretical and clinical concepts from Western Neuroscience with the Five Elements of Chinese Medicine in support of treating trauma survivors.

Hello everyone! I’m Benia (she/her), a Registered Acupuncturist now serving the community in Quw’utsun Nation territory. My approach is to meet you where you are on your healing journey, offering support rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, teachings from mentors, and my background in psychology, health coaching, and nature-based therapies. My deepest motivation for choosing this path—and for healing itself—stems from observing the rhythms of nature and the profound connection we each share with it, both individually and collectively. Like many, I discovered acupuncture and the principles of TCM as an incredible complement to my own healing. This medicine has been my anchor and compass, bringing me back to balance whenever I’m out of sorts—usually because I’ve spent too much time in the ocean!

It’s an honour to be part of your wellness journey, and I deeply value the trust you place in me. I believe good health is the foundation for everything we do—whether or not that resonates with you, I’m here to help you navigate any challenges you’re facing in a way that works for you. I strive to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely cared for. My goal is to learn how your unique lifestyle and environment shape your well-being, so we can develop a plan that empowers you to feel your best and continue doing what you love!
