Dr. Novia (Wan-Yi) Liu, ND, TCM

Dr. Novia has always been passionate about helping others, envisioning a career dedicated to improving people’s lives. While earning her Bachelor of Life Sciences at Queen’s University, she initially considered becoming a counselor or medical doctor. However, after volunteering at a local hospital and working closely with patients, she realized that optimal health requires a holistic approach—balancing both the body and mind. She also recognized the importance of spending quality time with patients to address the root cause of their symptoms and tailor treatments to each individual.

Inspired by this realization, Dr. Novia pursued a career in Naturopathic Medicine. After earning her Naturopathic Doctor designation from Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (Boucher Campus), she expanded her expertise by completing the Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine program at PCU College of Holistic Medicine. She also obtained certification in laser acupuncture, accredited by the Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners of Greater Vancouver.

Dr. Novia looks forward to meeting you, sharing your health journey, and using her knowledge and experience to support your wellness goals.

Buccal massage is a facial massage technique that focuses on the muscles of the cheeks and jaw. Some potential benefits include:

1. Relaxation: Buccal massage can help reduce tension and promote relaxation in the facial muscles.
2. Improved circulation: Massaging the buccal area may increase blood flow, potentially enhancing skin tone and vitality.
3. Facial contouring: Regular buccal massage might help define and sculpt the cheek and jawline.
4. Release of tension: It can alleviate jaw tension, which may be helpful for those who clench or grind their teeth.
5. Lymphatic drainage: This technique may aid in lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and improving skin texture.
6. Stress relief: Like other forms of massage, buccal massage can provide stress relief and promote a sense of well-being.
7. Enhanced skincare absorption: By increasing blood flow and lymphatic circulation, buccal massage may assist in better absorption of skincare products.

However, it's essential to consult with a trained professional or esthetician for buccal massage, as improper technique could potentially cause harm. https://englishbaywellness.janeapp.com/ #/staff_member/44

Health Benefits of Acupressure

9. Prevents and reduces appearance of wrinkles
Acupressure can actually prevent or reverse signs of aging. Acupressure massage stimulates and increases blood circulation all over the body, including to the face. Cosmetic acupressure is used to help tone the face and stimulate blood flow, increasing collagen production to keep wrinkles away.

🌿 5 benefits of micro-needling:

✅1. Promotes younger-looking skin
✅2. Improves the appearance of acne scars
✅3. Makes pores appear smaller
✅4. Improves skin discolouration, sunspots
✅5.Minimal downtime.

What is micro-needling?

Micro-needling also referred to as collagen induction therapy, is a form of skin renewal therapy that involves the controlled creation of tiny wounds in the epidermis and upper dermis of the skin to increase collagen and elastin production. Micro-needling treatments tap into the body’s natural healing mechanism to correct or improve certain skin conditions. The procedure is chemical-free and non-surgical and is more cost-effective than other skin therapy options.

Like acupuncture, micro-needling has its origins in Asia and Europe, and various forms have existed for centuries.

Micro-needling can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including:

-Fine lines and wrinkles
-Surgical and acne scars
-Melasma
-Sunspots
-Skin flaccidity
-Enlarged pores
-Lost elasticity
-Uneven skin textures and tones

Health Benefits of Acupressure

10. Promotes healing and overall well-being
By now we know that acupressure increases blood flow. For the immune system to work properly, it needs great blood flow and oxygenation to all organs. This helps the body naturally heal itself. The blood pumps into lymph organs which are responsible for clearing out unwanted substances and destroying pathogens. The better the blood flow, the faster you’ll heal. This is true for any type of ailment including. This includes a cold, flu, virus, infection, and even musculoskeletal injuries, which require good blood flow and plenty of oxygen to heal.

Reduce Wrinkles and Fine Lines Without Botox

Facial acupuncture
Acupuncture is not a method that is traditionally associated with wrinkles, but many swear by facial acupuncture as an alternative to Botox. In fact, some even declare it equally effective. The process is the same whether the acupuncture treatment involves the face or the body. Essentially, the face and body are composed of dozens of pressure points that can be manipulated by inserting small needles. As these nerves are stimulated in specific areas, the body responds by aiming to repair them. When this is done on the face, the body works to heal the trauma of the acupuncture needles, which results in an increased production of collagen. In turn, collagen production reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while also enhancing the skin's health.

What to Expect From a Massage

10. Why It Works
Choosing what type of massage therapy you prefer is often a matter of your comfort level, though specific physical needs should also be considered. Massage therapy in general works in several ways and there is most likely a type out there that is suited to everyone's preferences.

Researchers are still determining the reason massage therapy is so effective, but it is believed that relaxing areas of pain and easing anxiety may slow or stop pain messages from reaching the brain.
