Registered Acupunturist 

Meet Naheed

Naheed is a Registered Acupuncturist with more than two decades of experience in healthcare and a genuine passion for helping people feel and function their best. Her background in both Registered Massage Therapy and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) gives her a broad perspective on health, wellness and individualized care.

Naheed began her career as a Registered Massage Therapist, graduating from the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in 1999 and becoming registered in Ontario in 2000. Throughout her years in practice, she worked with clients experiencing injuries, chronic pain and a variety of health concerns. She also pursued additional training in palliative massage, providing supportive care to individuals at the end of life.

After more than a decade as an RMT, Naheed was introduced to Traditional Chinese Medicine through her own wellness journey. Inspired by its philosophy and whole-person approach to health, she completed more than 2,000 hours of education and clinical training through the Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine Academy. She became certified in 2016 and registered with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario in 2017.

Naheed appreciates the connections between physical health, emotional well-being and the body’s different systems. Rather than focusing solely on individual symptoms, she considers the person as a whole when developing a treatment approach.

She has a particular interest in supporting clients experiencing perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms, anxiety, sleep disturbances and digestive concerns, as well as muscular tension and pain. Her treatments may incorporate acupuncture, acupressure, fire cupping and Gua Sha, depending on the individual’s needs and goals. She may also offer guidance related to TCM dietary principles, sleep habits, meditation and Qi Gong as complementary aspects of care.

Naheed’s calm, compassionate and nurturing nature helps create a welcoming environment for clients, whether they are new to acupuncture or familiar with Traditional Chinese Medicine. She enjoys helping people better understand their health and how acupuncture may fit into their broader wellness care.

Outside of the clinic, Naheed enjoys reading, gardening and spending time with her rather unusual collection of pets. A reptile enthusiast, she proudly describes herself as a “mother of dragons!”
