Originally from Beijing, China, I came from a family practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) across generations. At a young age, I was taught Taoism philosophy, which states that all living things should co-exist in harmony with the universe. This is a concept that, for TCM practitioners, has been passed down from generation to generation. At a young age, I developed a strong interest in exploring the connections between human health, natural science and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
With a great passion for learning more about human health, I studied Neuroscience and Nutritional Science at the University of Toronto and graduated with an Honours Bachelor of Science degree. I was a physician assistant in family medicine and general surgery for five years. During this time, my work included supporting patients with diet and lifestyle changes through a nutrition counselling program. Through my daily interactions with patients, I could see the significance of complementary and integrative medicine in improving their quality of life. This motivated me to continue my education and pursue postgraduate work in TCM at the China Academy of Chinese Medical Science and Ontario College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where I gained valuable knowledge and experience in Chinese Medicine diagnosis and treatment, acupuncture and herbal medicine. I also trained as a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) to assist my practice. I have additional training in
Craniosacral Therapy and Somato-Emotional Release at the Upledger Institute and Visceral Manipulation at the Barral Institute. I find these therapies particularly helpful in providing my patients with holistic treatment. My experience working with people with cancer started at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute as I was rotating among geriatrics, palliative, and oncology units to provide complementary treatments in managing complications of disease.
My approach to treating patients emphasizes the connection between mind and body. I integrate Chinese Medicine, acupuncture and manual therapies to balance the mental and physiological environments. I have helped people through all stages of cancer treatment, assisting with conditions such as hot flashes, neuropathy, digestive disorders, lymphedema, anemia and low blood counts, menstrual disorders and induced menopause, hypertension, general fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and more.
I am an active member of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario (CTCMPAO) and the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO). I also run teaching curriculums to help college students in both Acupuncture and Massage Therapy Diploma Programs.
