Allison Kucan Hahn, Registered Acupuncturist & TCM Practitioner

My Story

Growing up, I always knew I wanted to work in health care. My dad was a Chiropractor and when I was a teenager, I spent my summers working for him, typing files and answering the phone. I saw the huge impact that he had on his patients’ lives and the satisfaction that he felt from helping people heal.

After finishing high school, I attended the University of Guelph and graduated with a Honours Degree in Biological Sciences. I then moved to Toronto to begin my study of Acupuncture at the Michener Institute in 1998. When I completed the four year program, I went to China to complete clinical internships at the Tianjin College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. I returned to my hometown of Hanover, Ontario in July 2002 and went into practice at the Kucan Chiropractic, Acupunture and Homeopathy Clinic, with my father.

I have continually upgraded my training through various courses in Acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, diagnosis, dermatology, pediatrics, fertility and gynecology. I view my profession as a life-long learning process and credit my patients as my best teachers and daily source of inspiration.

I am passionate about Chinese Medicine and enjoy educating patients about the many benefits that it has to offer. I love seeing the surprise and relief on patients’ faces when they realize that acupuncture doesn't have to be painful! I use a variety of techniques including needle Acupuncture, auricular and laser therapy, moxibustion, cupping and herbs in my practice.
