Education and Credentials: Reid is a registered member of the Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine Association of Nova Scotia. His journey into the world of acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine commenced at the Canadian College of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, culminating in the completion of a three-year diploma program in 2022. Furthering his expertise, Reid undertook an Advanced Certification Program in Facial Acupuncture through the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine.
In addition to his foundational training, Reid has pursued specialized training in orthopedic acupuncture. This advanced training equips him with the proficiency to conduct thorough functional assessments. By integrating acupuncture treatments, Reid addresses the root cause of musculoskeletal issues, employing both a Western anatomical approach and the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Why I became an Acupuncturist: A personal health crisis was the pivotal moment that led Reid to the transformative power of natural medicine. Several years ago, a serious accident placed him in the daunting position of needing emergency brain surgery. The aftermath of this event was a grueling journey, filled with relentless concussion symptoms, chronic headaches, and a battle with mental health issues.
In this challenging period of his life, Reid found himself propelled towards alternative approaches outside the traditional confines of medicine. Turning to an array of natural health practitioners, he was astounded by the dramatic shift he experienced in his health. His exploration into this healing path brought about profound changes, both physically and emotionally. Ultimately, it culminated in a life completely free from the debilitating headaches and anxiety that once seemed like a permanent fixture in his life.
The transformation Reid experienced was so profound that it sparked a deep desire to continue his journey into natural medicine. Inspired by his own healing, he was determined to acquire the knowledge and skills to help others in the same way. Thus, Reid began his pursuit of acupuncture, committed to providing the same life-altering support and healing he had received himself.
