About: Kristin Zukowski is a registered acupuncturist and holistic health practitioner dedicated to helping clients achieve balance, relief, and overall well-being. Before transitioning to acupuncture, she spent 18 years working in mental health, giving her a deep understanding of the mind-body connection. This experience allows her to take a whole-person approach to healing, specializing in treatments for chronic pain, stress management, and overall well-being. Kristin believes that truly listening to her patients is just as important as the treatment itself—every session is tailored to meet their unique needs, ensuring they feel heard, supported, and empowered on their healing journey. By blending ancient wisdom with modern techniques, she provides compassionate, results-driven care designed for real-life wellness. She also loves making acupuncture approachable, answering all the “weird” questions, and helping even the most skeptical people become believers in what this ancient medicine can do.

Favourite Things to Treat:

• Chronic Pain & Sports Injuries – Whether it's lingering tension, a nagging injury, or the aftermath of a weekend warrior moment gone wrong, acupuncture helps reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and support recovery.

• TMJ & Jaw Tension – Because no one should have to choose between chewing their favorite food and having a pain-free jaw.

• Mental Health & Stress Relief – Acupuncture has an incredible ability to regulate the nervous system, helping to ease anxiety, lift low moods, and promote a deep sense of calm.

• Digestive Concerns – From bloating to sluggish digestion, acupuncture can help restore balance and get things running smoothly again.

Find Her: You can find Kristin with her hands busy—whether that’s at the clinic, in the kitchen cooking up something delicious, or canning like the old soul she is. When she’s not working, she’s planning her next sun-soaked getaway based on the best diving spots (next up: Belize with whale sharks). More often than not, she’s also in her car, fully immersed in a 90s country jam session. At home, she’s surrounded by just the right amount of chaos, thanks to her two amazing kiddos.

Fun Facts: I have a serious case of FOMO and can never resist the chance to try something new. I once won free burritos for a year, which felt like hitting the jackpot in the best way possible.

Personal Hell: Walking barefoot on a pool deck. The feeling of uneven sock seams. And don’t even get her started on custard—something about the texture is just too much to handle.

Don’t Be Embarrassed If: You come in feeling self-conscious about your body, stress levels, or the state of your health—Kristin’s space is completely judgment-free. Acupuncture is for everyone, and she sees it as a sign that you’re prioritizing yourself—and that’s what truly matters. If you need to bring up something personal or sensitive, know that she’s here to listen and create a space where you feel comfortable.
