Paola is a Registered Acupuncturist and she has also graduated from Medical School in 2017. She worked for 2 years as a general practitioner in Brazil before moving to Canada.
She always found that we need to start approaching health and taking care of patients considering them as whole, who are who they are also because of their history, environment and living experiences.
She found in acupuncture a medicine that treats their patients individually, considering the multiple aspects of health.
She likes to say that she chose medicine because she loves to listen to a good story. She is someone who embraces people with different backgrounds, cultures, who truly enjoys getting to know them.
Always passionate about women’s health, most of her studies during University were direct to Gynecology and Obstetrics. Now, as a new mom, she has seen how life changing it is to go through pregnancy, giving birth, whilst understanding our bodies and trying to still recognize ourselves.
You can always find her studying, researching new treatments and alternatives for their patients. She is passionate about acupuncture, but also loves a cupping treatment, especially for pain. She will go far to find approaches that will give the most wholesome treatment plan for her patients.

Nutri-Body Analysis is a systematic way of surveying a person’s unique array of systems to discover possible nutritional causes of the disorder. It is a practical way of assessing nutritional status that relies on a unique method of measurement that is both approximate and reliable. This method relies on a detailed questionnaire about person’s physical and emotional concerns and complains. In Addition, a Live Cell Analysis is performed, which will demonstrate a body’s matrix and how healthy the red and white blood cells are. Live Cell Analysis detects deficiencies and imbalances long before they show on laboratory tests.
Shooka combines her nutrition expertise with scientific analysis of blood cell to detect deficiencies and recommend and engineer the appropriate health plan. This way an individualized prevention plan will be implemented rather than a treatment. An effective program for disease prevention and weight loss, like any other effective solution, needs to be tailored to one’s body and lifestyle.
