About Chris
Chris Jeffrey grew up in North Vancouver, spending time at Lynn Canyon and on the local North Vancouver mountains. It's no surprise that after traveling and living in different parts of the world, she decided to return to North Vancouver to raise her own children.
She began studying Naturopathy at the Australian Institute of Holistic Medicine in Perth, Australia. Through this Chris developed a passionate interest in Iridology and Nutrition, which she still uses with many of her patients today. She became a Registered Acupuncturist at the PCU College of Holistic Medicine in 2013 and a Personal Health Coach in 2018. In 2021 Chris Completed the Manual Lymphatic Drainage Course Level 1 and Level 3 at the Vodder School International.
Chris was a volunteer Acupuncturist at the North Shore Women's Center from 2013-2018 and at the Mt. Kilimanjaro Grouse Grind for Alzheimer’s (MKGG) 2014 Fundraiser. In 2018 she taught Fundamentals of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Canadian College of Shiatsu Therapy and in 2023 she became an I-SPARC Leader, implementing an 8 week hiking challenge for members of the Metis community.
