Danielle Schmiemann graduated from MacEwan University’s Acupuncture Program and is a registered acupuncturist with the College of Alberta Acupuncturists.

Starting out in Kinesiology

Before her acupuncture training, Danielle graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology (the study of human movement) for which she did her final practicum at the Acupuncture Turning Point. She really left an impression on our clinic and clients. It was a positive experience that influenced her decision to pursue acupuncture as a career.

A vision of a whole system approach

Danielle believes that every individual should have a safe space to talk about their health and wellness concerns.  Everyone deserves the chance to make improvements to their overall quality of life. She loves how Eastern Medicine and especially acupuncture focus on each person as a whole. Each person’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual working together to form one cohesive picture of health.
