Meet the Instructors

Paige Bourassa, DACM, L.Ac., RHN

Licensed Acupuncturist

Paige grew up in Vancouver, Canada and became passionate about Alternative Medicine after having several remarkable experiences with it at a young age. After High School she enrolled in Canada’s first Holistic Nutrition program and graduated a Registered Holistic Nutritionist. From there she traveled extensively through Asia where her passion blossomed into studies as she began taking an interest in Ayurveda, ancient East Indian medicine. After living in India for several months she moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico to pursue her Ayurvedic training further studying alongside the famous Dr. Vasant Lad at his Ayurvedic Institute. Following Ayurveda, Paige studied Psychology at the University of Colorado and began to assimilate what she had learned of Eastern Medicine with Western Psychology. Understanding that disease in the body is most often attributed to disharmony within the psyche/emotions, a concept called “Psychosomatic Illness”, Paige was drawn to the integrative philosophy of Traditional Chinese Medicine where everything is believed to be connected. She started the rigorous 4-year Masters of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine degree at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine’s San Diego campus and finished at their New York City campus, her new found love and home.

Testimonials

Paige is a master of her work and it is impossible to describe how it feels to be in the hands of someone who cares so much about her work and her clients. She truly makes a difference in her clients' lives and cares about how they feel and what they want to achieve with acupuncture.

Leslie M.

Acupuncture is something I never thought I'd try and now I don't ever want to live without it. I can feel the difference it's making from the very first poke and my stomach and digestion always feel so much improved afterwards. Plus it's pushed me to want to improve my diet as well! Thanks, little needles.

Lindsey K.

I never thought of acupuncture as an option when my chronic lower back pain became unbearable, but wow has this changed my life. Not only has Paige completely relieved the excruciating pain that I was suffering on a daily basis, but her sense of what her patient needs, both physically and emotionally, is incredible. Once my lower back pain was relieved I continued to see Paige for any other issue that arises (stress, anxiety, colds, or just when I feel off). She is friendly and really eased my mind at my first appointment. She is professional and personable as well as extremely knowledgable in what she does. I am so happy to have found her!
