Acupuncture in bridging the gap of body, mind, and spirit.
🇨🇳 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and acupuncture has been in practice for thousands of years. At its core, TCM views the human body-mind as a unified system.
🇨🇦 Today, acupuncture is widely accepted in the West for its use for pain management, physical symptoms, and functional diseases because it is easy to quantify its corresponding health measures and outcomes. (We may not know *exactly* how it works in a scientific and logical way, but it works).
💫 It is also important to acknowledge its power in psychological, emotional, and spiritual healing, the lesser known benefit, and less quantifiable.
🧘🏻♀️We have spoken about self-care and conscious healing consistently throughout our practice. So naturally, this includes the subconscious and spiritual self.
🌬For many, doing inner / shadow work is a challenging, yet rewarding journey. We can do the reflections and introspections. We can practice the self-soothing tools and somatic exercises. We can heal on a deeper level.
🧠 But one of my favourite ways of using acupuncture is using it to heal the unconscious part of the body; To work with the memories and messages that are hidden within our nervous system.
🧘🏻♀️This is why for many of our patients, especially those seeking nervous system regulation, we ask them to set an intention before our session. We also recommend repeating this intention like a mantra throughout the session, paired with some deep breathing into the areas they want to heal!
✨Have you used acupuncture as a support for your inner work? Your emotional and spiritual healing? If not, it’s definitely worth it! Book with us today - just follow the link in our BIO 💫

Providing health care with compassion, honesty, and intent
I believe that everyone deserves a chance to become a healthier and better version of themselves. I am passionate about affordable and sustainable health care. I want to empower individuals to take control of their own wellness. With botanical medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, along with nutrition and lifestyle counselling, I aim to support and restore balance in the body.
Why affordable & accessible healthcare in naturopathic medicine?
I am a first-generation Chinese-born Canadian born in Toronto, Ontario. My parents immigrated to Toronto about 30 years ago to be together and have been living here ever since. They decided to stay as close to Chinatown as possible to feel connected to their heritage and to maintain a sense of community. They didn’t speak the language (and still not fluent after 30 years), had little support, and no financial stability. Yet, they were able to build a brand new life here in Canada. My parents worked tirelessly to make sure my sister and I are provided for. I witnessed my parents’ health being affected by the effort that is required to support our family. Obstacles to health and wellness became more and more evident as I got older and it saddens me to know that such inequality exists.
By providing affordable healthcare in naturopathic medicine means I can make it a bit more accessible for those who may not be able to afford it otherwise. By using one of our principles - Doctor as Teacher - I can empower patients to take control of their own health and that pills are not the only way. I don't ever want finances to be the reason why someone can't become a healthier version of themselves if they have the motivation to make that change.
Of course, accessibility means so much more than just affordability. Other potential barriers to health should be considered as well. I believe in an anti-oppressive framework and want to provide a safe space for everyone who wants to work with me (BIPOC LGBTQ2S+ non conformity ally, s*x positive, culturally sensitive). Other things including telemedicine (online consults), and sustainable recommendations (financially, physically, mentally) are also offered. I want you to have a positive journey towards wellness.
So let’s make healthcare a bit more accessible; because everyone deserves a chance at health.
