Suffering from chronic pain, auto-immune, anxiety, infertility or just need a quick fix on your back, my approach to treatment is total mind/body health through the ancient Chinese Medicine lens.
This lens has a five pillar approach; diet, exercise, massage, patent herbal medicine and acupuncture with needles or low-level laser. Acupuncture with needles or laser can relieve muscle pain and calm the nervous system; Chinese patent herbs can assist digestion and nutrient absorption; Tui Na massage, fire cupping, and gua sha scraping can release sore or tight muscles; and lastly dietary and exercise recommendations can enhance recovery.

I can also treat children who are suffering from growing pains, digestion challenges, auto-immune disorders and more with a low-level laser or a cold laser treatment. The Chinese Medicine lens is helpful for people of all ages, as the focus is on bringing balance to the human body by optimizing the internal and external systems.

I am familiar with the challenge of repairing from sports injuries, as I have enjoyed the seasonal sports of soccer, hockey and the ski hill for most of my life. I personally practice the aspects of Chinese Medicine that keep my own body, mind and spirit in balance as I gratefully live in the Cowichan Valley. I spend my time outdoors, fishing, making photos and adventuring with my wife, daughter, family and friends.
