If you’re like many of our patients here at MIA Acupuncture, you’re seeking an alternative and/or a complement to conventional Western medicine. You want to stop ignoring your problems or stop merely getting temporary relief from pharmaceuticals. You want to get to the root cause of your health issues– not just put a temporary bandage on them. Your goal is to feel whole again and stop letting the days go by feeling unhealthy.

Harmonize. Strengthen. Restore. These words reflect our intention as traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. Intuitive Healing Acupuncture emphasizes the awakening and centering of all levels of total wellbeing. By aligning the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of oneself, we can not only address disease or physical imbalance directly, but we can also prevent it.

My journey as a Chinese Medicine Practitioner started in 1994 when I met a monk in Taiwan who taught me about meditation, cleansing, food healing, calligraphy and Chinese health practices. For 10 years, I travelled around the world studying natural healing and classical Asian martial arts from various masters, healers and schools.

I graduated from the Academy of Classical Oriental Sciences in British Columbia with a degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine, modelled after the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine curriculum.

I’ve been in clinic practice for over 10 years in the Ottawa-Gatineau area. I am a Registered Acupuncturist (R.Ac) with the College of Traditional Chinese Medical Practitioners and Acupuncturists in Ontario under the following number: 2807. I currently see patients at The Village Clinic in Westboro.

I teach weekly Qigong and Chen Style Tai Chi classes at Aylmer Qigong and Tai Chi and I hold regular at workshops, lectures, webinars and events on health and well-being.

I also lecture and write on child developmental psychology and behaviour using traditional Chinese medicine. I am the author of the book Democratic Parenting and the creator of The ADHD Transformation Program.

I have advanced training in Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Therapy, Dietary Recommendations, Qigong/Tai Chi, and Traditional Chinese Medical Psychology.
