Malakai Button BA, R.Ac.
I offer my acupuncture studio in Victoria BC as a place for you to cultivate wellness and reconnect with your body's innate healing capacity. My practice is heart centered and trauma informed. I am passionate about helping those struggling with hormonal, reproductive and pregnancy issues, trauma, grief and loss. I offer a holistic and complementary approach to achieving mental wellness, hormonal balance, menstrual regulation and healthy pregnancies.
I am a Registered Acupuncturist in good standing with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of British Columbia and am a member of the Obsetrical Acupuncture Association. I completed my training at the International College for Traditional Chinese Medicine Vancouver and Pacific Rim College and have specialized training in Acupuncture for Pregnancy, Labour and Postpartum, Menstrual Health, Fertility, Trauma and Grief. I am currently pursuing mentorship in the the diagnostic tool of face reading through the lineage of Lillian Bridges.
I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Therapeutic Recreation with a focus in Mental Health. When I am not Malakai the Acupuncturist, you can find me being mom to three wonderfully wild children, adventuring on our beautiful island and attempting to make a small farm out of my backyard.
