Advanced injection therapy refers to the use of injectable substances for the management of pain.

Prolotherapy is an injection therapy of glucose and anesthetic to cause the proliferation of tendons and ligaments that have been weakened or damaged. It stimulates healing in areas of chronic pain by creating a natural inflammation response which brings blood flow along with nutrients and growth factors to connective tissues at the site of the injection.

Neural prolotherapy (or perineural therapy) is a superficial injection of glucose solution along the subcutaneous nerve to treat painful, inflamed, and injured nerves.

Trigger point injections (TPI) are injections to "knots" that are associated with muscular tension. TPI can include injections with a local anesthetic, saline, Vitamin B12, and/or corticosteroid or NSAID.


Aesthetics

Aesthetic treatments are performed by a naturopathic doctor to enhance beauty. They are non surgical cosmetic treatments to revitalize the skin and to reduce signs of aging.

Chiropractic

Chiropractic manipulation therapy, also known as an adjustment, is a safe, gentle and painless technique. Carefully controlled pressure is applied to a joint to encourage better movement.

Chiropractic manipulation therapy, also known as an adjustment, is a safe, gentle and painless technique. Carefully controlled pressure is applied to a joint to encourage better movement. An adjustment removes interference from the nervous system that contributes to restricted movement. This interference may also send pain signals to the brain from the tissues surrounding the joint. A chiropractic adjustment modifies this interference, decreases pain, increases joint mobility and reduces muscle tightness. Adjustments can be done to improve any joint in your body, not only your spine.

Qi Chiropractors use a variety of techniques including soft tissue therapy (Active Release Technique, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Therapy/Grason), chiropractic adjustments, exercise prescription and lifestyle modifications to improve your health. We work with you and include your personal preference, goals, diagnosis and bone health to determine what techniques in combination will get you feeling your best.

Dr. Berry also uses the Meditech system for Low Level Light Therapy and assesses and casts for custom made foot orthotics. She is also tained in the Webster Technique and works with pregnant women and new moms.

**Clinical Hypnotherapy**

I practice solution-focused hypnotherapy that taps into the mind-body-heart connection and harnessing the healing power within you. Together, we establish your goals from the start and work towards resolving situations as quickly as possible – sometimes in a single session. On average though, most situations need around 3-6 sessions to find resolution and for life transformative changes 12+ sessions. Hypnotherapy works on unlocking your subconscious psyche and works at a deeper level that your cognitive mind may not even be aware of. This is also why hypnotherapy is great for psychedelic integration, which allows you to process your experiences into actionable and meaningful ways for authentic healing and self-growth. Within sessions we can work on the following and are not limited to what is currently listed: anxiety, stress, insomnia, weight loss, pain management, trauma, phobias, habits and addictions, health issues, performance enhancement, emotional wellness, energy work, somatic release, cording, past life regression, family - ancestral healing, parts therapy, progression or regression work.

**Music Therapy**

Music therapy is a discipline in which credentialed professionals (MTA*) use music purposefully within therapeutic relationships to support development, health, and well-being. Music therapists use music safely and ethically to address human needs within cognitive, communicative, emotional, musical, physical, social, and spiritual domains. Music is a strong memory trigger at all levels: physical (the rhythm and movement we feel in our bodies), heart (emotions), and mind (memories). It can also tap straight into our subconscious minds and bring us to altered conscious states to allow for deeper healing and growth. Music is composed of frequencies and vibrations. Everything you see around you is vibrating. We are constantly experiencing this vibration on a cellular level, by both heard and unheard frequencies. Sound has a tremendous influence on the human condition. Within the music therapy sessions we can work on the following and not limited to: creative expression, anxiety and stress, trauma, guided imagery in music, sound healing, mind clarity, and psychedelic integration.

During massage therapy treatments I use a combination of myofascial release, trigger point therapy, joint mobilizations, and Swedish massage. Through an initial assessment to further understand patients’ needs, areas of imbalance are located so that treatments can be focused on releasing tension, easing pain, and promoting relaxation. I take a holistic approach to treating anything from minor postural related aches and pains to more chronic/severe issues ensuring treatments are comprehensive and effective.

Acupuncture treatments include initial discussion around health concerns and treatment outcomes. We’ll take into consideration lifestyle, diet, sleep patterns, and general wellbeing. Tongue and pulse diagnosis can be used to gain a deeper understanding of what is going on internally and assist in identifying where treatment needs to be focused. I enjoy treatments focusing on promoting relaxation, pain & stress management, trauma related healing, and preventative health. Treatments may also include cupping and/gua sha (scraping).

When Calvin was in his early 20’s he was introduced to the wonders of Chinese medicine as an international athlete. Performing at a high level was hard on body and mind alike. As such, Chinese medicine and acupuncture became a staple in his life to treat joint pain, stress, insomnia and headaches. As time passed competitions faded and a desire to understand human health took root. Through the 2000s to present Calvin has gained substantial education to treat mobility issues such as headaches, stiff necks, frozen shoulders, aching backs and muscular pain. At one point in his career he worked predominantly with the elderly and gained a unique perspective on treating aging mobility diseases such as osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Although Calvin has enjoyed serving the public in treating mobility issues he has had other focuses over his 20 year career in conditions around fertility, insomnia and digestive problems. Calvin has had a very deep and broad Chinese medicine education. This is reflected in his treatment presentations that usually consist of acupressure (finger pressure and massage techniques), medicinal ointments, hot towel applications, acupuncture, cupping and the dispensing of Chinese medicinals. With these healing modalities combined, treatments come across to patient’s as ‘spa-like’. This realization helps to affirm Calvin’s healing philosophy of “Healing should be a pleasant experience not more trauma”. Which would your immune system prefer?

I remember being in Whistler at 10 years old, looking over the valley below and mountains above, knee deep in powder, and feeling like there’s no place I’d rather be. The West Coast called to my sense of adventure, and had a lot to offer my active lifestyle. I skied, snowboarded, swam, mountain biked, kayaked, white water rafted and brought others along with me. That was until I had a complicated nerve and tissue injury and my active lifestyle came to a sudden halt.

After my injury, I knew I needed to find a new approach to life and solutions for my healing. I began to seek new therapies and experience the amazing power of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Chinese Medicine provided me with major improvements in circulation, pain, sleep, mood and mental state that helped me to get through a very challenging and dark period of my life.

I’m an athlete at heart, so returning to a state where I could once again engage in my active lifestyle brought spark and meaning back to my life. The experience showed me just how much I wanted to help others in the same way. TCM theories and holistic perspectives about the energy and interconnectedness of all nature, align very much with my own mindset. I found my path.

Traditional Chinese Medicine allows us to treat through naturally-oriented methods, whether preferred as an alternate healing route to Western medicine, or coupled with it. I focus on the importance of both digestive and mental health, 2 of the main pillars on which our entire well-being rests.

A session with me may incorporate treatment methods including Acupuncture, Guasha, Cupping, Tuina & Acupressure, as well as lifestyle and TCM focused diet guidance. While incorporating TCM principles in my own daily diet, function and habits, I love to empower others to do so as well in whatever healing or growth process they are going through.

Joney is currently completing her practicum requirements to earn her Registration as a Clinical Counsellor (RCC).

The human experience can be exhausting and confusing at times… “Can I just get a break!?”

If you are reading this, it’s likely you may have reached a point of exhaustion and the logical brain keeps telling you “but, I don’t know why/how…” yet you feel that there is more or that your soul is calling out and something is missing.

I’ve been there. The body holds inner stories that are trying to be told, but when the mind doesn’t know how to process them, they show up as anxiety, depression, feeling lost or stuck, and/or subconscious or conscious behaviors that directly impact our connection to ourselves, others, and the universe.

As your integration therapist, I am open and receptive to your specific needs, emotions, and internal processes. I will share skills and tools for you to feel more connected to your body, deepen your understanding of current life situations, and awaken the Inner Healer within.

With cooperation, connection, and trust, I am here to share and support you through this journey you’re on.

About Joney Poon MTA, HCt

Joney experienced her first awakening as a child and has been studying the metaphysical, creative arts and psychology ever since. She has a unique fascination with spirituality, music, intuition, energy work and our subconscious minds, and how many of those factors influence how we experience and express ourselves in this world. Wanting to learn and understand more, she embarked on the journey of merging the spiritual with the physical. She studied psychology and graduated with an MTA in Music Therapy. She discovered how music can not only bypass the critical mind and tap straight into the subconscious and the heart felt emotions, it can also alter our conscious states for healing. She then did further training in GIM (Guided Imagery in Music), which then led into Clinical Hypnotherapy. Through the exploration and learning of how powerful our subconscious minds are, she discovered passion for psychedelic medicine approaches to healing and is eager to journey alongside clients in exploring and integrating their experiences. This led her to do training in psychedelic assisted psychotherapy and her pursuit in a masters of counselling with a special focus on psychedelic medicine modalities.

It was not until Joney’s first ceremony experience of plant medicine, that awakened other parts of her. She became even more attuned with her natural gifts and sensing of energy around her and in others. This was when the Dao found her. Joney continues her journey learning Qi energy work and Tai Chi Baqua along with intuitive energy healing. Since then, she’s on a path of healing, helping others connect with their own subconscious, power and qi, holding space for truth, and untamed authenticity. Joney’s intention is to shine her light even in the darkest of the night, utilizing her gifts to support others to find their own light and liberation (creating your own powerful inner harmony).

More and more, Joney is about being, and being present in the moment with gratitude. Her passions are creating music, art, meditation, exploring sacred sexuality, dance and movement. When she’s not with clients, she’s hiking, dancing, travelling, cooking, making art or music, and engaging in acro yoga or aerial arts.

Joney believes that:“The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness.” ―Lao Tzu
