Stephanie Grozell is a Registered Acupuncturist and certified Pilates and Yoga Instructor. She maintains a quality practice in good standing with the College of Complementary Health Professionals of British Columbia. Graduating in 2016 from Pacific Rim College’s 3-year Diploma of Acupuncture program with over 500 hours of clinical training.

Stephanie began her practice in the Comox Valley, offering her clients a new perspective on their health and well-being. She has spent the past four years building a well rounded general practice in Parksville surrounded by other health practitioners. Now, she is excited to be expanding her practice to include Fullmoon Physiotherapy, and returning to the Comox Valley so that she can support women at all stages of life.

Stephanie has a special interest in working with Women’s Health, with the use of acupuncture and the wisdom of Chinese medicine, supporting women to feel empowered on their own journey to healing and well being. Her continuing education has included Acupuncture for Pregnancy, Labour and Postpartum, Women’s Health, Perimenopause and Menopause support, Fertility and Paediatric Acupuncture. She is also trained in Orthopedic Acupuncture, Tui Na (Chinese Massage), Cupping, Gua Sha, Moxibustion, Electro-Stimulation and Auricular Acupuncture.

Stephanie takes a special interest in Perimenopause and Menopause support and loves educating and supporting her clients as they begin to transition through a new, and often taboo, stage of life. She believes that menopause is not a disease to be treated, but a process to be honoured, with many body, mind, emotional and lifestyle shifts that accompany the journey. In Chinese Medicine this time is considered a woman’s second spring, an opportunity towards energetic death, rebirth, and growth.

Her own personal journey to healing and managing an autoimmune condition from a young age, paired with her education, and more than 7 years experience in practice, informs Stephanie’s ability to listen to her clients with empathy and compassion. She finds the best results occur when clinic appointments are just one aspect of her clients process towards healing and offers them education and guidance in modifying diet, lifestyle, and physical activity in ways that are practical and applicable.

She has worked closely with her clients to improve and heal their own autoimmune conditions, gut health, sleep issues, nervous system responses, stress, anxiety and depression levels, hormone imbalances, menstrual cycle imbalances and so much more.

The empowerment of women is what gets Stephanie excited and she loves supporting them on their path.
