We’re back at it - continuing to grow a dynamic group of practitioners! 🌟

Meet Sylvia Harvey, TCM Practitioner

Sylvia was born and raised on an Organic/Biodynamic farm in BC. As a Registered Chinese Medicine Practitioner, Sylvia has always had a keen interest in finding our place of harmony in the nature of things.

It was through travelling in her youth that she found her calling to be a health care practitioner, leading her to study in Nelson at the Kootenay Columbia College of Integrative Health Sciences.

Sylvia works diligently to help facilitate the healing and maintenance of all bodily systems, including the musculoskeletal system (such as sports medicine injuries and age-related concerns), digestive function, reproductive health, cardiovascular function, dermatological conditions, oncology support, auto immune disorders, and more.

She utilizes the practices of Chinese Medicine with a modern day understanding of the body to help correct disfunction, reduce pain, and illuminate the ways in which our minds and bodies work together, helping to bring you an overall greater sense of ease.

Using an integrative and inspiring approach, she aims to leave you feeling seen, and well cared for during all stages of life and healing.

In her spare time, you can find Sylvia reading, meditating, rock climbing, skiing, horseback riding, hiking, having a boogie, and/or melting away in a yoga class.

Come on in and see what kind of healing and wellbeing Sylvia can bring to you.

In person, she uses Dark Field Microscopy, Auricular medicine testing, environmental testing and other functional laboratory and in-house testing to reveal “pieces of your health puzzle” of symptoms and system dysfunction.
