The last of 2024.
Last call for using up health benefits and holiday hours

If you haven’t broken the bank with a weekend of heavy shopping this is just a friendly reminder that December is a good opportunity to use up the last remnants of benefits for 2024. You can come in for acupuncture, IMS or triggerpoint needling and still get cupping, guasha, electric stimulation, magnet therapy and more.

I’ve always tried to provide the best care that I can at a cost that’s significantly (20-40%) lower than average. This means that your benefits last longer and even if you don’t have extended health coverage you still pay less out of pocket.

Now more than ever, people are struggling with the rising cost or housing, food, heathcare, heat and other costs of staying alive. It’s not easy and those of us who work in healthcare are no different. My decision was between passing the costs onto my patients or just work harder and longer.

So now the office is open up to 50 hours a week and still just $80 per one on one treatment or community acupuncture on a sliding scale.

Health benefits are essentially part of your pay check and a great way to stay healthy, pain-free and sane through the next month. If you or your friends and family have some leftover coverage, there’s no better time than the present for some actual self-care.

Holiday hours:
Closed Dec 24 and 25th
I'll be around as needed through the rest of the month and through the new year.

What a fun weekend!
Had a great time hanging out with the 75 year young(!) moxibustion master Mizutani Junji and a few other acupuncturists at his clinic in Vancouver. It was a great review for this technique and a chance to see the master at work again.

Happy New years!

2024 marks 20 years in practice for me so I’m trying to feel more introspective and reflect on what that means as a practitioner and even how rare it is to be happy in the same job for so long. Twenty years with no promotion and only one pay rise?
Looks like I need to have a chat with my boss!

In 2023 I completed the sports medicine training, an amazing course with some of the best teachers I’ve ever met. I learned so much about anatomy and targeting injured tissue as well as correcting postural issues that might contribute to injury & pain.

This year I’m returning to a unique family style of acupuncture 董 (written as D**g or Tung in English). This is something I started reading about when I was still in school and have been using for many years; I’m now signed up for the master level training. Should be fun!

Speaking of returning to the basics, this year I’m also spending more time with master moxa teacher Mizutani Junji to brush up on moxibustion therapy and taking some smaller courses on Tuina and body work techniques. It’s good to have some tools that aren’t just more needles.

I want to thank everyone for a great 2023, especially my volunteers who help me practice nearly 100 orthopaedic exams. I wouldn’t be where I am without all of you.
I hope everyone has a great year ahead of them, and wish you all the best.
