Owner, R. TCMP. P
Hello, I'm Erin Alexander, a registered practitioner with the CTCMA and ATCMA. My journey into Traditional Chinese Medicine began at the Canadian College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and Pacific Rim College, where I immersed myself in the study of this ancient healing art. After gaining experience at several Victoria acupuncture clinics, I took over as the owner of Spring Wellness.
My passion lies in the field of healing and Chinese Medicine. I strongly believe in treating the whole person, focusing on restoring balance to both the body and mind while emphasizing prevention. Growing up surrounded by the beauty of nature, I developed a profound respect and love for its intricate workings, which Chinese medicine beautifully embodies.
I use various techniques, including traditional needling, cupping therapy, tui na, gua sha, auriculotherapy, yang shen, and herbal medicine. Over the years, I have helped patients find relief from a wide range of conditions, such as headaches, insomnia, chronic and acute pain, bipolar disorder, depression, and digestive complaints. I also have a special interest in addressing emotional/mental health, women's health concerns, and providing support during pregnancy and early childhood.
I firmly believe in the remarkable capacity of our bodies to heal themselves. By combining my knowledge of Chinese and Western medicine, along with intuition and a compassionate heart, I strive to uncover what your body and spirit truly need.
If you're ready to discover the transformative power of Chinese Medicine, please contact me to schedule an appointment.

Mansze’s interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) was inspired by her Chinese doctor, who cared for her parents during their cancer healing journey. She is a compassionate acupuncturist who graduated with Summa Cum Laude honors from Pacific Rim College. After years of rigorous study and hands-on training, she has developed a deep understanding of the ancient principles of TCM and had the honor of serving as a teaching assistant for TCM Diagnosis and Internal Medicine during her final year of school.
In addition to her formal education, Mansze is committed to ongoing professional development. She regularly attends workshops and shadows practitioners at various clinics. In 2022, she completed her Xiu-style acupuncture training in Taiwan.
