About


Acupuncture Information Centre

JoAnn Alafriz

Welcome to the Acupuncture Information Centre, my name is JoAnn Alafriz and I am a former Registered Acupuncturist with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario. I am a 2008 graduate from the now, Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine program, the owner of Toronto Family Acupuncture and co-founder of Toronto Acubirthing.

I am familiar with many of the ins and out of navigating schools, programs and post-graduate courses. Over the years, I have apprenticed with Tak Tsurusaki, R.Ac., studying Japanese acupuncture and interned with Claudia Citkovtiz, Ph.D., LAc taking a post-graduate clinical acupuncture intensive program in Labour and Delivery.

I created this website because I noticed the lack of information for those curious about becoming an acupuncturist or a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. The Acupuncture Information Centre has aggregated as much information as possible to help you make an informed decision.

I hope you find this information is useful.
