As a Registered Acupuncturist in British Columbia, I approach each treatment with sincerity, precision, and deep respect for the classical foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine. My practice is rooted in helping people recover from pain, regain vitality, and maintain long-term wellness through natural, time-tested methods. I have particular interest and experience in treating musculoskeletal pain, emotional imbalance, digestive concerns, skin disorders, and supporting recovery from post-stroke symptoms.

Guided by the principles of the Huangdi Neijing and clinical knowledge passed down through generations, I rely on traditional diagnostic techniques—such as pulse, tongue, and channel examination—to develop individualized treatment strategies that address the root of each condition. At Villa Cathy Senior Home, I worked with elderly patients to relieve pain, improve mobility, and support post-stroke rehabilitation with noticeable improvements.Whether supporting recovery or enhancing everyday well-being, I am committed to providing thoughtful care grounded in the wisdom of classical Chinese medicine—including the “Five Movements and Six Qi” (五运六气) theory.

Outside the clinic, I actively promote TCM through volunteerism and community outreach. I proudly represented the acupuncture program during Premier David Eby’s visit to KPU, where I demonstrated TCM techniques and shared the role of acupuncture in modern healthcare.
