Yanaroot aims to promote, protect and improve the health of individuals through the effective use of "planet-based" strategies to facilitate balance in mental, spiritual, emotional and physical well-being
I strive to build lasting relationships built on trust and respect through the practice of safe, effective, quality health care to optimize well-being and improve every day living for you and your loved ones.
We will work with Planet-Based strategies that are low on environmental impacts and high on human health benefits.
There is an intimate correlation between human health and the state of the world we live in. Choosing to improve our inner environment creates an outward ripple, impacting everything around us. Doing what we can to improve the health of plants and the planet has an equally profound impact on well-being and the human health experience.
Yanaroot’s focus is on improving the state of your health with practices that are mindful towards the future for plants, people and the planet alike.
What People Are Saying
“My acupuncture experience has been extremely rewarding as the professional services of Kendra made the encounters extremely pleasant. The caring and sensitivity greatly enhanced the acupuncture experience.”
— L.B. (Nelson, BC)
“I highly recommend Kendra, especially if you’re someone, like me, suffering from chronic pain. She is an incredibly caring and empathetic person. I have seen many practitioners over the years...Kendra is special! She has helped me so much in coping with a long term shoulder injury. The results speak for themselves; increased range of motion, and significantly less pain.”

“I had no expectations going into the treatment. If any, I was looking for some relaxation. The treatment was remarkable, I went back for another the following day.”
“I visited Kendra in Nelson while on a vacation from Alberta. I was given a treatment and had no expectations as it was my first time getting both cupping and acupuncture done. I had no expectations going into the treatment. If any, I was looking for some relaxation. The treatment was remarkable, I went back for another the following day. Treatment was lovely. Kendra was very good at recognizing if I was in the mood to talk or just to enjoy the serenity of her presence. During the treatment, she would ask for any health concerns. I mentioned all the muscles that have been hurting - like my lower back after 7 hours of driving, which felt amazing after the treatment. Then I casually mentioned - with no expectations - that my hemorrhoids that I developed after having 2 kids have been really bothering me as of late. I have been seeing my family doctor regarding my hemorrhoids for almost 4 years and every time I've been given prescription hydrocortisone creams to treat whenever it would flare up. I didn't like this approach and always hesitated to apply the cream because of the longterm side effects. Kendra applied a few needles in what she pointed out as hemorrhoid points. To my surprise, they were nowhere near the hemorrhoids. The needles were barely noticeable and I laid there while they worked their magic. To be honest, I had absolutely no expectations because I have had these for 4 years with no improvements! It's been 2 weeks since the treatments, and my hemorrhoids are close to gone. They're physically not there anymore and I am not having bouts of bleeding. WOW! I am surprised, impressed and grateful!

“Thank you so much for your treatment today, I'm so glad I have got some more sessions booked with you! I so value your kindness, your presence and your offerings and supports, and I'd like to acknowledge the professional that you are!”

“Kendra is a confident, intelligent practitioner who knows exactly what my body is looking for.”
“My experience with Kendra has been extremely enjoyable. When I came for my first TCM appointment at KCC, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Luckily, Kendra's name stood out to me when booking. She made my first visit very comfortable & it made me wanting to go back for more. Since then, I have seen Kendra several times over the past 6 months & enjoyed every single treatment I've received from her. She understands the balance between western & eastern medicine. Kendra is a confident, intelligent practitioner who knows exactly what my body is looking for. I remember one appointment I was too nervous to ask her to try cupping, however she asked me that day if I wanted to try for the first time. Like I said above, she knows what my body is looking for even when I don't. Finding someone who you can relate to & get along with in the wellness industry isn't always easy. I am very thankful for our time together & for Kendra teaching me how to take care of myself. Anyone would be lucky to be treated by her! I couldn't have chosen a better person to get treated by.”

“She digs deeper and wants to address the core of whatever the issue might be which is the way it should be!”
“My experience with Kendra is that I came to her with one question and I left the conversation with answers to a whole bunch of questions I hadn’t even known needed to be asked. She digs deeper and wants to address the core of whatever the issue might be which is the way it should be! She was patient and just seem to know the right questions to ask especially when I didn’t know what I needed to know :-). She explained everything in a way and in a language I could understand that was super helpful. I look forward to seeing how things go and working through these issues step-by-step with her. I could not recommend her highly enough.”

“By using a vast variety of methods, she helped me to go through the root cause(…)”
“Kendra has been a beautiful light in my life. She helped me to go through a big journey to rebalance and regulate my energy. Always available, really professional, she has been following me with my personal healing for several months. Kendra has different tools and she is clearly passionate about the ancient Chinese medicine wisdom which we can feel by being a regular client. By using a vast variety of methods, she helped me to go through the root cause of the different blockages I had accumulated. One of the things that I really love is that she uses good words and she gives me extra notes to help me understand, assimilate and integrate in my day-to-day life each session. She loves to share her wisdom by explaining the why; which is an amazing gift. Kendra has been primordial in my path and I recommend her to anyone that wants to have a powerful and personalized private session to unblock and regulate energy this in order to improve health and lifestyle.”
