True Calling Canada
Dr. Dominique Vallee is a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Instead of using stethoscopes, pharmaceuticals, and x-rays, she relies on ancient techniques: pulse reading, needles, smoke, and herbs. For Dominique, it’s all about looking at health as a whole, combining acupuncture, herbal formulas, cupping, diet, lifestyle and emotions as a complete treatment plan. The focus of her practice is on the body’s balance, with health, happiness, and abundance at its core.
