Meet Paige Hutchison: Registered Acupuncturist
Inspired by Personal Experience
Paige has always been drawn to health and wellness, spending more than six years as a chiropractic assistant before pursuing acupuncture. After exploring acupuncture for her own long-term discomfort, she felt it profoundly supportive to her well-being and decided to follow this path professionally. She earned her Diploma of Acupuncture at Pacific Rim College in Victoria, completing clinical hours both at the school and at the Native Friendship Centre.
A Calm and Comfortable Approach
Paige provides individualized acupuncture sessions with an emphasis on comfort in mind. She is trained in acupuncture, cupping therapy, gua sha (gentle scraping technique) and Tui Na. (Chinese massage) “The needles are very fine. And I focus on making treatments as comfortable as possible. I’m known for being quite gentle but effective with my techniques. A lot of the time, people even fall asleep during the session, which I like to call an acu-nap.” She explains. Appointments typically last 60 minutes, with needles in place for 15 to 40 minutes to allow the body to respond and rebalance.
Dedicated to Lifelong Learning
Paige values continuous growth and regularly attends workshops to expand her skills. She describes herself as a lifelong student, exploring both Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and modern biomedical perspectives. This curiosity and dedication allow her to offer a well-rounded approach and to integrate different styles as appropriate for each session. She also enjoys collaborating with other health professionals, adding depth to the overall care patients receive.
An Active Lifestyle
Outside the clinic, Paige spends much of her time outdoors. In the winter she enjoys skiing at Mount Washington, while warmer months are filled with hiking, volleyball, and soccer. Staying active is an essential part of her lifestyle and reflects her interest in the connection between physical movement and overall well-being.
A Holistic Perspective
Paige emphasizes no two appointments are alike. Each session is tailored to the person’s specific needs, addressing both symptoms and underlying patterns from a whole-body perspective. Drawing on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine alongside a Western biomedical understanding of anatomy and physiology, she provides care that bridges traditional wisdom with modern science.
