B. Comm, Registered AcupuncturistMy career began in the sports world, where I worked for the Vancouver Canucks as a sponsorship and marketing manager. It didn’t take long, however, to realize that the boardroom wasn’t where I belonged. Driven by a passion for helping people directly, I returned to school to study Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Today, I have pursued extensive training and ongoing professional development in Sports & Orthopedic acupuncture. Whether it’s an acute sports injury, a chronic pain condition, or a complex rehabilitation case, my focus is always on restoring mobility and getting people back to doing what they love.
Beyond my orthopedic work, I also treat fertility concerns, women’s health conditions, and chronic or complex pain syndromes such as peripheral neuropathy.
As the owner of Salmon Arm Wellness Clinic, I am incredibly proud of the team we’ve built. From our skilled practitioners to our welcoming admin staff, we have some of the best in the business—and I know you’ll feel as supported by them as I do every day.

Osteopathy
Hi, I’m Vitalia—and I believe that healing begins when we return to right relationship: with our bodies, with creation, with one another, and with our Creator. As my people say, if the land is healthy, so will we be. These beliefs are woven into everything I do.
I’m a Registered Manual Osteopath with advanced training in Neural Manipulation, Myofascial Release, Somato Emotional Release, Visceral and Cranial Sacral therapies. I am a member of the Osteopathic Chronic Pain Clinics of Canada (OCPCC), and my work is integrative, trauma-aware, and deeply individualized.
Rooted in my Mapuche ancestry and shaped by a lifetime of personal healing, I bring a whole-person lens to care. My background in permaculture design, fine arts, and contemplative Christian spirituality informs the way I listen—to the body, to the unspoken, and to what may be quietly asking for restoration.
My credentials may be in Osteopathy, but my beliefs are my medicine—and they guide how I walk, work, and relate.
It would be an honour to walk alongside you on your path to healing and wholeness.

R. Ac
Wilson’s passion for holistic health and wellness began early, shaped by a lifelong appreciation for alternative healing and the importance of listening to the body. After experiencing her own challenges with irregular cycles, nutrient deficiencies, and hormonal changes, she discovered the powerful impact of acupuncture and was inspired to pursue Traditional Chinese Medicine. Wilson is especially passionate about women’s health, fertility, hormone support, facial rejuvenation acupuncture, and microneedling. Her approach is rooted in helping women feel vibrant, confident, and deeply supported — with treatments that honour both inner wellness and outer radiance.

Naturopathic Medicine
Dr. Jordana Aziz is a naturopathic doctor, mother, dog mama, and lover of mountains, hiking, the ocean, and the natural world.
Her work has been shaped by a wide range of experiences, including travelling throughout Nicaragua and Haiti to share the principles of naturopathic medicine, teaching at the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine in Vancouver, teaching at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition, and serving for two years on the board of the College of Naturopathic Physicians of British Columbia. These experiences have deeply informed her belief that nutrition is one of the foundational pillars of health.
Dr. Aziz works with patients to uncover the root causes behind their symptoms, using thoughtful assessment and appropriate diagnostics to help make sense of the bigger picture. Her goal is to support each person in optimizing their health, hormones, longevity, vitality, and overall experience of life in their body.
She has a special interest in helping people who feel that something is “off” despite being told that everything looks normal. If you are feeling ready to better understand your hormones, improve your energy, and take a deeper look at your health, Dr. Aziz welcomes you to book an initial naturopathic appointment.
