Emma Dolan
R.Ac | Doctor of Acupuncture
Hello! I’m Emma, a Doctor of Acupuncture and practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
I am greatly inspired by the magic and beauty of this ancient medicine, and I aspire to bring these qualities into my practice and treatments.
My educational journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Memorial University of Newfoundland, driven by my deep curiosity about the intricacies of the human body. After having my own experience with the healing powers of acupuncture, my fascination with TCM began. This led me to Vancouver Island, where in 2016 I graduated with summa cum laude honours from the Acupuncture diploma program at the Pacific Rim College in Victoria, BC. Upon gaining registration with the CTCMA in BC, I had the privilege of completing a transformative year-long apprenticeship with Dr. Reuven Freesman.
In the past 8 years, my practice has evolved as my training has led to a focus on all areas of women’s health. In an area where I feel there is lack of support, I am honoured to offer treatment for conditions such as PMS/PMDD, fertility, PCOS, hormonal imbalances, peri/menopausal issues, painful/irregular menstruation and pre/post natal care. I have completed comprehensive training in fertility acupuncture under the guidance of Jane Lyttleton, as well as specialized training in pregnancy, labor, and postpartum acupuncture with Dr. Debra Betts. I am committed to ongoing professional development to ensure that my clients receive the highest standard of care.
I also have a clinical focus in mental health, treating stress, anxiety, and depression, with additional training in trauma and PTSD specifically. Using various modalities, including acupuncture, fire cupping, auricular therapy, gua sha, nutritional therapy, and lifestyle advice based on TCM theory, I have found profound healing and wonderful results in treating these focuses.
As an advocate for holistic wellness, I encourage my patients to embrace a balanced lifestyle that encompasses physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I create personalized treatment plans, addressing the root cause of imbalance rather than only treating symptoms for lasting health improvements.
I am thrilled to bring my patient-centred practice to Calgary, Alberta, and I look forward to joining you on your healing journey.
