Glessanda Sparks
I am Glessanda, a student acupuncturist who takes a holistic approach to health and wellbeing, with a strong emphasis on understanding the connections between the body, mind, and emotions.
My path into acupuncture began through my own healing journey, which shaped my understanding of how physical symptoms, stress, and emotional patterns often influence one another. This experience led me to pursue Traditional Chinese Medicine as a way to support others in managing pain, regulating stress, and restoring balance within the body.
In the student clinic, I focus on treatments that support nervous system regulation, relieve pain, and address underlying patterns contributing to imbalance. I am committed to providing treatments that are both supportive and preventative, helping patients build resilience and maintain long-term wellbeing.
