Demi Palmer is a Registered Acupuncturist who graduated from Pacific Rim College in 2019. Her practice focuses on supporting people who carry a lot — caregivers, health care professionals, parents, athletes, and high-performing individuals balancing stress alongside physical pain. She works with patients who are often used to pushing through discomfort and are looking for care that feels steady, thoughtful, and effective.

Demi integrates Traditional Chinese Medicine with a modern, orthopaedic approach to pain and nervous system regulation. She has a particular interest in treating shoulder, jaw (TMJ), low back, and hip pain, as well as headaches, stress-related tension, sleep disruption, and hormonal concerns. She is especially interested in the relationship between chronic stress and muscle tension, and how supporting the nervous system can create meaningful shifts in recovery and resilience.

Her treatments are collaborative and adaptable. Depending on presentation and goals, she may incorporate acupuncture, electroacupuncture, trigger point release, cupping, massage, gua sha, infrared heat, and gentle manual techniques. Demi has completed additional training in somatic acupuncture, cosmetic acupuncture, and maternity acupuncture, allowing her to support nervous system healing, pregnancy, and facial rejuvenation with the same attentive approach. She also offers scar tissue treatment for a range of surgical procedures, including breast surgeries, gender-affirming procedures, abdominal surgeries, and other post-operative recovery. She is committed to inclusive, affirming care and works intentionally to ensure patients of all identities feel safe, respected, and genuinely seen.

Above all, Demi believes healthcare should feel both clinically skillful and deeply human. Her goal is not just symptom relief, but helping people feel more at home in their bodies.
