I have always had particular interest in natural medicine and holistic health.
Being brought up by my grandparents, I had been given natural folk remedies
whenever I was under the weather, and they’d worked wonders. In fact, due to
severe antibiotic allergies, seeking natural cures tend to be my priority. I
have always been curious about how these natural ingredients interact with the
body and what makes them so effective; it was not until my training in TCM did I
discover that when all of this connects to a 5000-year-old medical system
supported by complex philosophical concepts… there are no simple answers.

 

I was first acquainted with the idea of studying TCM during my undergraduate
studies in University of British Columbia. All along, my career endeavour had
been to provide an effective and holistic medical alternative to people who seek
to rid themselves of an illness or simply desire to improve their health. Of all
the forms of alternative medicine, TCM appealed most to me. It has an incredibly
well developed methodology and a myriad of clinical records, ranging from
ancient physicians to modern clinical researchers, supporting its efficacy. Most
importantly, I believe TCM stands closely to my career purpose, and that I will
be able to help many people with this form of medicine.

 

My education at the International College of TCM in Vancouver further spurred my
interest in the field. Now a graduate of the five-year Doctor of TCM program and
former intern at the Buddhist Tzu Chi General Hospital in Taipei, I have
accumulated extensive clinical experience in a hospital setting. I gained
experience in TCM gastroenterology, gynaecology, auto-immunology, pulmonology,
cardiology, endocrinology, paediatrics, and musculoskeletal problems. Most
importantly, I had the valuable opportunity to diagnose and treat patients in
the Intensive Care Unit.

 

As an acupuncturist, I utilize classical acupuncture concepts in combination
with Dr. Yamamoto's Scalp acupuncture and Master Tung’s acupuncture methodology
to greatly increases the therapeutic effects and shorten the duration of the
entire course of treatment. As a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I
design herbal prescriptions according to principles of the ancestral methods of
TCM, focusing mostly on the patient's syndrome in relation to the 24 seasons and
the movement of the sun. My greatest reward is a happy patient who has been
relieved from their ailments. It is what propels me forward in the exploration
of the natural treasures that is traditional Chinese medicine.



My passion and expertise in TCM practice has also brought me back into the
college as an instructor.  Being able to educate future TCM practitioners and
being an inspiring figure to students not only allows me to give back to the
industry, but it also provides me an opportunity to share the knowledge and
clinical experience I have acquired in the years of my practice.

 

I believe professionalism, maturity, passion, and knowledge are significant
aspects in becoming a successful practitioner. My dedication to learning the
traditional methodologies and respect for ancient knowledge allows me to utilize
my experiences. I am confident that these are the qualities you will see in me
when you come for your visit.
