I am a fully registered member of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario (CTCMPAO). My journey began with studying Acupuncture at Georgian College, followed by further education at Eight Branches College of Eastern Medicine in Toronto, ON, where I graduated from the Traditional Chinese Medicine program. My fascination with Chinese medicine ignited in my teenage years and has blossomed into a lifelong passion, transforming my understanding of health and well-being through this holistic approach.
Chinese medicine stands out in addressing diverse conditions, such as pain management, digestive health, fertility for both men and women, addiction, carpal tunnel syndrome, blood pressure regulation, mental well-being, women’s health, infectious diseases, asthma, insomnia, and stress-related disorders. For over 3,000 years, it has been a guiding light in East Asian healthcare, and its global impact continues to grow. This ancient practice has a remarkable history of healing various illnesses, including historical pandemics, proving its worth as a vital alternative medicine today.
I am thrilled to share my expertise with the Innisfil community and surrounding areas, serving Simcoe County with compassion and dedication. This region has embraced me warmly, and I am grateful for the chance to give back. I eagerly anticipate the journey ahead, filled with learning and growth in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and I am excited to accompany you on your path to health and wellness.
