Dr. Nadia Mawji, ND has obtained 4 years of Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture focused training as part of her naturopathic medicine degree. She is board-certified in Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture by the North American Board of Naturopathic Examiners (NABNE) and is also additionally registered to perform Acupuncture in Alberta. 

​

Research has shown that acupuncture sessions are most effective with a duration of 30-40 minutes. 6-10 sessions are typically required to notice improvements. As each person is different, some might experience improvements sooner and others, later and some, not at all. TCM is considered a systematic, yet energetic therapy and due to the subjective nature of the therapy, results might vary from person to person. 

​

Acupuncture can only be a part of your  naturopathic plan if it is indicated and specifically recommended for you. This would be discussed in your naturopathic appointment with Dr. Nadia Mawji, ND.
