HER HOLISTIC PRACTICE PHILOSOPHY:
" I have been a natural health advocate for many years. My real passion lies in helping, inspiring and empowering others improve their health by nourishing their body with the right foods and acupuncture.
I may be a health advocate now, but that wasn’t always the case.
It all started in year 2008, when my mother was diagnosed with cancer. In 2010, I lost both of my mother and father due to degenerative diseases.
It was during this life-changing experience that I discovered my calling in life.
In 2014, as a Nutritional Consulting practitioner, I started helping people by creating them a customized holistic nutritional program that focuses on whole foods diet.
Based on experiences, I came to believe that if we treat our body right, nourish and give it what it truly needs, our body will respond with an increased amount of vitality, energy, health and beauty that is sustainable. "
Alfonso Ibasco
Registered Acupuncturist
Alfonso follows in the footsteps of his great grandmother, who was a renowned Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine in wartime China, during Mao’s dictatorship. She was imprisoned for being educated, and was ordered to a death sentence which was timely omitted when Mao’s cronies fell ill. Her life was spared after successfully treating the illnesses that plagued the regime’s higher ranks. During his formative years in the Philippines, Alfonso grew to love the ocean. Swimming and diving, whilst holding one breath, provided leisure and an escape from city life. Later, an abrupt move to Canada led Alfonso deeper into nature, where he observed the laws that govern both our bodies and our world. Alfonso eventually found himself in emergency medicine as a ski patroller, significantly shaping his comprehension of Western medical practices, while also enriching his understanding of acute care and patient management. This experience, combined with the philosophical and therapeutic principles of TCM, allow him to offer a balanced, integrative approach to healing—one that is grounded in scientific evidence while remaining attuned to the natural world.
Alfonso graduated with a Diploma of Acupuncture from Tzu Chi International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He incorporates Saam acupuncture into his practice- it's a unique Korean traditional acupuncture aka the four needling technique. This method aims to balance the body's five elements and ZangFu (viscera and bowels) by applying specific tonification and sedation techniques based on the creation and control cycles of these principles.
He sees a wide variety of patients suffering from headache, TMJ, digestive issues, menstrual pain, sciatica, back pain and musculoskeletal conditions.
Aside from being an acupuncturist, he is a devoted surfer, snowboarder and freediver.

Raissa Ancheta
Massage Therapist
Raissa is a registered massage therapist dedicated to providing effective, evidence-based care. With a focus on therapeutic treatment and whole-body wellness, Raissa helps clients reduce pain, improve mobility and achieve lasting balance.
Raissa's passion with massage stems out from her desire to help people overcome any discomfort and live a happy healthy life through the therapeutic effect that massage brings to an individual. She encourages a working-together dynamic with her patients to create treatment plans focusing on their goals to help them get to where they want to be.
During her journey to become an RMT, she needed to take a hiatus from the program to support her pregnancy which gave her a first-hand view on what expectant mothers may experience while their body changes during the baby’s growth in the womb and after delivery. This made her decide to take specialized courses for pregnancy and Post-Partum massage in the future and incorporate in her practice.
She is fluent in both English and Tagalog and would eventually like to learn Spanish in the future.
During her free time, she loves to go for some good conversation and listen to music over coffee (prefers
mellow blend with a scrumptious pastry on the side) She also likes long drives, watching a good movie (a very avid Tolkien fan), shopping and spending time with her husband, daughter Savannah and cats: Midnight, Tala,
and Luna.
