Dr. Selina Bourgeois
Dr. Selina Bourgeois
Doctor of Acupuncture
Selina is a Doctor of Acupuncture, and a graduate from the Alberta College of Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine. She initially sought out an alternative approach to healing with acupuncture, herbs and diet therapy when the conventional methods were not helping. This sparked the desire to work in the healing arts! She started out with a Registered Massage Therapist diploma and has since expanded to learning to work with the body in a more detailed and holistic manner with Chinese Medicine and other natural options.
She is extremely passionate about the holistic approach to health and wellness, and is spreading the word on how important it is to practice self care from all angles. The Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture approach was the perfect fit for this, as it encourages the body to heal itself and treats the person specifically, instead of just the symptoms one is experiencing. It can also be combined with Western medicine when needed!
When she is not treating patients, you can find her doing continuing education courses, reading all kinds of different books, spending time in nature, spending time with friends and family, and any kind of movement from yoga and pilates to lifting weights.
Her specialties include treating food and environmental allergies/sensitivities, digestive issues, anxiety/depression, insomnia, women's health and all pain conditions. Selina uses a combination of acupuncture, herbs, cupping, guasha, electro-stimulation, applied kinesiology and sports medicine acupuncture as part of her treatments.

She graduated from SAIT with a Diploma in TV Production in 2009 and with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communication Studies from The University of Calgary in 2011. However, she has also always been passionate about health and wellness since her childhood and was eager to learn more.
Being curious as to how to treat the body naturally and holistically brought her to discover Classical Osteopathy, as founded by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, and enroll to study this beautiful art science at The Canadian Academy of Osteopathy in Calgary in 2020. After gaining a strong principle based education and completing 4200 hours of comprehensive education, including 1,000 hours of supervised clinical hands-on training, she has since graduated with a Masters of Practice in Osteopathic Manipulative Sciences (M. OMSc) and is a certified member of OSTCAN. OSTCAN members hold the highest international standards as lined out by the World Health Organization Benchmarks for training in Osteopathy.
Osteopathy is a holistic manual therapy that can be applied to the whole body, while helping to improve fluid dynamics within the body, including the nerves, arteries, veins and lymphatic vessels, leading to better circulation and improved range of motion, and therefore, potentially aid in improving one's quality of life.
When Sangeeta isn't practicing Manual Osteopathy, she loves to get lost in music, singing, dancing, songwriting and performing.
