ABOUT ERIN


Erin Moran has been a practitioner of Chinese Medicine since 2001. She completed her training in Seattle, Washington, and has practiced in both Bermuda and Canada. Erin is currently based in Steveston, British Columbia.

In 2010, Erin earned her Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine degree with a specialty in Integrative Oncology. She has worked in cancer centres throughout the greater Seattle area and completed an internship at MSTI in Boise, Idaho. Her clinical experience also includes rotations in Chengdu and Shanghai, China, where she trained within integrative oncology wards that combined chemotherapy and radiation with Chinese herbal medicine—an experience that demonstrated integrative medicine at its finest.

Erin contributed to acupuncture study design through the CAMEO program at the BC Cancer Agency. Today, her private practice at the Steveston Health Collective is dedicated almost exclusively to cancer care. She supports patients through all stages of treatment, including pre-surgical and post-surgical care, systemic therapies, and survivorship. Erin is an active member of the Society of Integrative Oncology ’s acupuncture special interest group and serves as a peer reviewer for the journal Medical Acupuncture.

In addition to her oncology-focused work, Erin is a qualified Five-Element acupuncturist and a certified instructor of Dragon and Tiger Qigong.
