Registered Acupuncturist
Kenton graduated from the Alberta College of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine with a diploma in Acupuncture and a diploma in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Upon successfully passing Alberta acupuncture board examinations, he moved to Nova Scotia to open a practice and teach where he has been in practice since 2007.
Kenton practices Deep Tissue Lymphatic Acupuncture (DTLA). DTLA has a four-fold effect:
- Anti-inflammatory
- Analgesic
- Warms and softens the tissue
- Has a calming and sedative effect.
Patients can expect to have Kenton in the room with them for the duration of their treatment, where he will use palpation and patient feedback to diagnose and treat their condition. Only one needle is used at a time. Other modalities used may include gentle Shiatsu, cupping, and herbal or dietary recommendations.
Acupuncture can be very effective for pain conditions as well as functional concerns (mental-emotional, sleep, digestion, fertility, menopause, labour induction, etc.).
In addition to his practice, Kenton has taught for two colleges, was a guest lecturer at Acadia University, and has been requested for seminars by yoga instructors, the Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine Association of Nova Scotia, AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine in Austin, Texas, as well as Nova Scotia & Saskatchewan Naturopathic Conferences. He has written for AcupunctureToday.com, Qi Journal, Kung-Fu Tai Chi magazine and Wing Chun Illustrated.
