The Yurt Clinic

Hi!!! I have been so happy with our backyard oasis Yurt Clinic space and I can’t wait to see you for a treatment!

I will be working in Nepal from the end of October until the middle of December 2024. Appointments resume at the end of December, so please check there if you’re not seeing something that works for you. If you’re able to help support my work in Nepal, I would be so thankful.

ESTABLISHED PATIENTS: If you’ve ever seen me in your life, this is you! You’re already in, just grab a 75-minute slot if you haven’t seen me in more than 6 - 8 weeks. If you’re not finding a time that works for you, please use the feature to add yourself to the waitlist, it works! To find it, scroll down under the treatments and click on “add yourself” to the waitlist.

PROSPECTIVE PATIENTS: Please email me at bex@thelocalhealer.com if you’re interested in becoming a new patient.

Acupuncture & Natural Medicine

Please book an evaluation visit prior to your treatment if you haven't seen me for 6 months, you're at a re-evaluation point in your treatment plan or you have a new concern.

I am an acupuncture physician and an educator as well as the mama of two amazing kids.

I practice evidence-informed medicine, which takes research into account as well as my own clinical experience and the cultural needs and desires of clients and their families. I work to create a safe and non-judgmental ‘pause’ space where bodies can feel heard and loved.
