Lara Tisseur is a licensed Acupuncturist, holding an Acupuncture Diploma from the International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Vancouver. Before finding her place in Chinese Medicine, Lara earned a Bachelor’s degree of Arts with an Environmental Specialty Certificate at Simon Fraser University.

Her journey into Chinese Medicine grew out of her own personal experiences over 20 years ago, when she was pregnant with a breech baby. TCM helped to turn her breech baby which started a profound interest and journey into health and Chinese Medicine.
