I emphasize the importance of cultivating self-love through nutrition, infusing elements of joy, fulfillment, creativity, and exploration into your nutrition journey.

Together, let’s redefine the role of food, transforming it into a source of empowerment tailored to you. Each meal is an opportunity to honour both your body and mind, allowing you to explore the concept of mindful eating.

Now is the perfect time to prioritize yourself. Regardless of where you are in your nutrition and wellness journey, you’ve landed in the right place. Consider this a welcoming spot for you.

Let’s embrace this journey together, uncovering endless possibilities to nurture both your body and mind.

In my spare time, you’ll often find me in the mountains, paddleboarding on Lake Okanagan, and adventuring with my black lab, Ollie, by my side. When I’m not surrounded by nature, I enjoy spending time at the local spin studio, sweating it out with the community – one of my favourite ways to stay connected.

Hello there!

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Fallon Drinkall and I am a Practitioner of Chinese Medicine & Registered Acupuncturist here at Advanced Women’s Health. I grew up in a small town just south of the Yukon border. My hometown had a mere 20 people who lived in it year-round and the nearest “neighbouring city” was 4 hours away. I lived my life in the outdoors without power until I was 15 years old. Growing up so in touch with my surroundings deepened my understanding of how our environment impacts our internal state.

My passion for medicine was recognized at a young age where I would spend countless hours craning over anatomical texts. I decided to set my passion into motion in 2018, igniting a deep desire from within to help those in need. My studies began and I dove deep into the books and my practice. It is one of my greatest joys to study human physiology and how I may be of assistance to those who may need it.

I aim within my practice here, to offer patients a sense of spaciousness. To arrive as they are to help facilitate a state of healing from whatever they may be facing. I practice from a state of ease and comfort intertwining both Western anatomical sciences and Eastern holism to approach the body in an integrated fashion. Noting that individuals are not ‘mind’ and ‘body’ as separate concepts, but both simultaneously.

Within my years of research and study, I identified a great need for support in women’s health, fertility, menopause, autoimmune disorders, nervous system regulation and chronic pain. These are all areas which pique my interest, although my practice is not limited and I welcome all with a warm heart. I hope to speak to you soon to figure out if my approach aligns with your specific needs. Feel free to reach out to me with a free 15-minute consultation in which we can discuss specific modalities and treatment courses.

With light, Fallon Drinkall
