Elise graduated as a Doctor of Acupuncture in 2023 after completing a four year Acupuncture and TCM programme. Her passion for health and not just physical, but mental, wellness is what drives her dedication to all of her patients. Elise’s own experiences through life have helped develop a truly calming, yet compassionate environment.

She is conscious of her patients’ needs every step of the way, ensuring that the room they walk into is a safe haven for all of their concerns. Whether you are dealing with digestive issues, pain from sports injuries, or hormonal symptom management while you are transitioning, Elise will take every measure to treat your whole being and not just your symptom.

Not only is respect and kindness given to everyone, but education is also a huge factor in Elise’s treatments. She believes that by empowering patients with knowledge based on lifestyle, exercises, diet, or emotions, it helps everyone learn to trust and listen to their bodies and minds.

If Elise isn’t at the clinic or weight training, she is most definitely hanging out with her adorable pooch Remi, hiking or skiing, or creating a new piece of art for her home. And if she needs a change of scenery she loses herself in a bookstore or a bowl of noodles. ​​

Dr. Mandie studied Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine in Calgary, and is a registered Doctor of Acupuncture, with a Diploma in Traditional Chinese Medicine. She is an Acupuncturist in good standing who is passionate about her work.

She was introduced to Acupuncture when she was pregnant with her daughter and then again when she sought relief from carpal tunnel pain and IBS symptoms. Even with a severe needle phobia, it was such a life changing experience for her that she made the decision to become an Acupuncturist so that she could help others experience this amazing medicine.

Her dream is to be able to share Acupuncture with as many people as possible and show them what a beautiful, relaxing, and effective treatment it truly is. Her own fear of needles has helped her develop a very gentle needling technique which most patients find surprising and comforting, and best of all, helpful in their journey to health.

If you can’t find Dr. Mandie in the clinic, or mentoring future Acupuncturists, you will find her hanging out with her beautiful daughter Amelia, trying to herd cats (all two of them), rediscovering her love of reading and art, or hitting up one of Calgary’s amazing restaurants. ​
