With over 20 years in healthcare, Dr. Aileen Alfonso is a passionate Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner dedicated to helping clients restore balance, relieve pain, and achieve optimal well-being. She holds a dual diploma in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) from ACATCM, a BA in Psychology from the University of Saskatchewan, and a Diploma in Dental Assisting from NAIT.
Aileen’s journey into acupuncture began during her career in dentistry, where she worked as a full-time orthodontic assistant. After meeting a student of acupuncture and TCM in her dental chair, she became fascinated with the healing potential of Eastern medicine. That same day, she began researching acupuncture schools in Calgary.
Taking a leap of faith, she left her full-time job to pursue her passion. She embraced a holistic approach to wellness that had helped her overcome allergies and debilitating pain. This transition marked the start of her new chapter—a mission to empower others on their healing journey through natural, time-tested therapies.
