Maggie McGriskin
Registered Acupuncturist with ATCMANS
I graduated from the University of Guelph with a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Science in 2015. During my studies I developed some strange symptoms, but all tests were coming back clear. I found relief when I tried acupuncture, and loved it! I never thought to pursue it as a career until much later. After moving to Halifax, I discovered a Chinese Medicine college in Bedford, and decided to enrol! I graduated from the Canadian College of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine with a Diploma of Acupuncture in 2021. In this three year program, I was taught the essence, and the skills required to practice Chinese Medicine. I focus on gentle needling techniques, and often incorporate fire cupping into treatments as well. I also recommend simple lifestyle changes to speed the healing journey. I am now in my second year of practicing this medicine, and I'm forever learning and growing as an acupuncturist! I currently practice at both Glow Acupuncture, and the Spring Garden Massage Addict in downtown Halifax!
