Kara Poyntz

Owner, Registered Acupuncturist

Kara graduated with honours with a diploma in Acupuncture from Pacific Rim College, she also holds a General Arts Diploma from Camosun College. As a practitioner, her primary areas of interest are various pain conditions (including migraines and injuries), mental health (including depression and anxiety), and women’s health. 

Kara is a life-long resident of Vancouver Island, now practicing Acupuncture in Langford. She is a proud military wife, that has been through three Naval deployments, so she understands the challenges and hardships they may bring. 

Her interest in acupuncture began while working as a Medical Office Assistant/Manager for 8 years. 

After suffering from migraines for years with no relief, Kara sought out acupuncture treatment. After experiencing relief, she felt as though she found her real calling. It was during one of her husband’s military deployments she decided to leave a successful career to return to school to begin her journey in acupuncture.
