Kim Juneja (She/Her/Hers) Registered Acupuncturist and Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner - I focus my practice on women’s health and working with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. I recognize the importance of specialized health care for transgender, gender-fluid, and non-binary people as they so often face multiple barriers to accessing healthcare. I offer trauma-informed, positive and inclusive treatments for gender-affirming surgeries, hormone therapy, pain management and mental health. JaneApp Profile & Bookings.
