1. Patients do not abide by the doctor’s instructions. There are no prohibitions for etiquette and conduct. Ingestion of medicine does not fit in with the method, to the point of making it difficult to get rid of diseases;
2. Work and rest are inconsistent;
3. Desires and pleasure are immoderate;
4. Emotions are hard to control;
5. Diet is without constraints;
6. Living on grounds not meant for houses or that dwell from a Feng Shui perspective;
7. Interior arrangement without taboos;
8. Society’s partial and prejudiced understanding is hard to remove;
9. Family relationships are hard to resolve;
10. The stress and pressure in life is hard to disperse;
11. The old and everyday habits are hard to alter;
12. Lack of cultivation of the Way and Virtue, lack of reverence;
13. Self-profit comes first;
14. Disbelief in Cause-and-Effect; disobeying Heaven, going against the Dao, to the point of making Heaven lose its calculations for life. Herbs and minerals have difficulty to cure, spirits and ghosts do not agree to heal.
15. Seeking the doctor not genuinely. In emergency situations patients anxiously and blindly trust in the doctor. Under acute pain, patients seek medicine disorderly.

I am very thankful to have had a long history with Chinese medicine. As a child I was brought to practitioners in rural monasteries as well as cramped offices downtown T.O. The formal study of Chinese medicine began at 19 years old. This has truly been a lifelong passion.
In 2007, I graduated from the 4-year Practitioner of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine program at the Academy of Classical Oriental Sciences in Nelson, BC. My schooling included rigorous training in acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and tongue and pulse diagnosis. Most importantly, it gave perspective. A system that intricately understands what it means to be a human on this Earth, how to adapt to life’s many challenges, and how to find a place of virtue within.
While in Nelson, I took an opportunity to complete training in Neuro-Somatic therapy. A fascia based hands-on system rooted in Chinese tui na massage. This work was vital to raising my skill with acupuncture needles. The additional training added much to tactile understanding and tissue assessment.
Since 2000, I have been engaged in some form with qi gong and internal martial arts training including Chen style tai ji, six-harmony xin yi, and ba gua chuan. First as a student, then a devotee, and now a teacher. These are some of the most graceful and powerful methods of movement as well as some of the most impactful and nuanced techniques for preserving health and well being found in the historical record.
In 2008, I began clinical practice in Peterborough. My time here has given me a breadth of clinical experience. I work with a wide variety of pain conditions as well as many other internal health issues concerning digestion, sleep, fertility, hormone regulation, gynecology, oncology, respiration and circulation, detoxification, and mental health.
As a practitioner, I regularly update my skill base through seminars, lectures, and courses. I am always looking to provide more effective tools to meet the needs of my patients.
If you work with me you can expect a caregiver who will be clear and honest about treatment plans and expected outcomes. I will work diligently with you to achieve your health goals as efficiently as possible.
