Fiona Lampman R.TCM.P
Registered Acupuncturist, TCM Herbalist, Community Herbalist, Reiki Practitioner, and Trained Doula in Kamloops, BC
In my experience, life leads you along certain paths for a reason. I truly believe that the way I fell into my passion for acupuncture and energy healing is proof of this. I grew up in Northern Ontario, roaming through forests and swimming in cool waters with no knowledge of acupuncture. After attending Thompson Rivers University (then known as the University College of the Cariboo), it was only after moving abroad to South Korea that I opened my eyes to a new way of seeing life, in its continual flux of yin and yang, and the struggle to maintain balance, no matter what the universe might throw my way.
After studying acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine for four years at the ICTCMV in Vancouver and achieving my goal of Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner, my journey continues. Every day, I am furthering my studies, particularly in the fields of acupuncture for fertility, pre- and postnatal care, and all forms of herbal medicine, progressing from cultivation to wildcrafting to making my own salves and tinctures.
Almost directly out of acupuncture school, I opened Gathered Roots Community Acupuncture in downtown New Westminster, and for eight amazing years, Gathered Roots was my passion. Gathered Roots continues to thrive while I am planting new roots here in Kamloops. Please join me on this journey and stay tuned for updates as new paths unfold.
