Rachel Lipton
(She/Her/Hers) Registered Acupuncturist

A community acupuncture enthusiast through and through, Rachel studied acupuncture in Victoria, B.C at Pacific Rim College.

Earning her license in 2016, Rachel began her practice in Toronto working at two community clinics - Toronto Community Acupuncture and Toronto Acupuncture Studio.

Rachel moved to Ottawa and opened OCA’s doors in May 2019.
