Hello
My name is Kayla Booker, R.Ac. I am a licensed and board-certified Acupuncturist, now accepting new clients for acupuncture appointments. I graduated with honours from the Acupuncture program at Georgian College and have since pursued advanced certifications to deepen my practice. This includes Advanced Cosmetic Acupuncture training through the Ontario College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (OCTCM).
My Story
Rooted in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), my practice emphasizes whole-body wellness and individualized care. I take the time to understand each person’s unique health history, identify patterns of imbalance, and create treatment plans that address both the root causes and symptoms of health concerns.
​
My treatments weave together acupuncture with complementary therapies such as cupping, gua sha, tuina, and lifestyle guidance to encourage the body’s natural healing, restore balance, and promote vitality. Whether you are navigating chronic pain, stress, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, or simply looking to feel more grounded in daily life, I provide care that is supportive, restorative, and personalized.​
​
My background in fitness and rehabilitation also informs my clinical perspective. After personally experiencing the challenges of recovery and resilience through my own training, I developed a strong interest in supporting both athletes and everyday movers. For those who are active—runners, lifters, or anyone striving to move with more ease. My Restorative Bodywork Treatment sessions include techniques such as cupping, body gua sha, and tuina that play a vital role in improving circulation, reducing tension, enhancing mobility, and preventing injury.
​
At the heart of my practice is a simple philosophy: to meet you where you are. Whether you’re seeking relief from stress, support for a specific health concern, improved performance, or a renewed sense of vitality, my goal is to empower you with treatments that restore balance and cultivate long-term wellness. I remain committed to ongoing professional growth, continuing to explore both classical and modern approaches to acupuncture, so that every person who enters my clinic feels cared for and supported on their unique journey toward health.

Whether you’re a fellow practitioner, athlete, or someone curious about acupuncture, I’m always open to new conversations and collaborations.

Amanda Barone is a Registered Acupuncturist with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner’s and Acupuncturists of Ontario (CTCMPAO). Growing up as a competitive figure skater lead her to have a constant fascination with the human body and how it functions. This inspired her to enroll in the Kinesiology and Health Sciences program at York University. Upon graduation, she continued her studies at the Toronto School of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TSTCM) and graduated with a Diploma in Acupuncture. It was here that she learned the intricate relationship between a person’s physical, emotional and spiritual health and the impact this has on one’s overall health and wellness.

She believes in creating a strong patient-practitioner relationship and focuses a lot of attention on educating her patients on different self-care techniques they can utilize such as acu-pressure, meditation, breathing exercises and creating a ‘sleep sanctuary.’
