About me

I received my Chinese Medicine training at the Royal Pacific Institute (formerly Oshio College) in Victoria, British Columbia. I graduated with distinction in 2002. My interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine grew out of my previous university degree & work in the environmental field. Working in the areas of environment & health, the practice of Chinese medicine was a natural extension.

While living and studying in Victoria, I had the good fortune to meet & train Chinese Martial Arts with Andrea Falk. I studied Chen styles of Taijiquan (Tai Chi Chuan) in Victoria under Andrea's vigilant eye. I also was able to learn the Qi Gong form, Lian Gong Shi Ba Fa (18 Postures for Daily Practice), in Victoria from Sue Jiang.

Since moving to Guelph, Ontario, I have been able to deepen my Chen Taijiquan studies with Master Jack Yan, one of the eighteen inheritor disciples of Grand Master Chen Zhenglei, & expand my training with Andrea Falk to include Bagua & Xingyi.

My acupuncture practice has been deeply influenced by Dr. Wang Juyi who I had the privilege to study with (briefly) on two trips to Beijing. I continue to learn his invaluable Applied Channel Theories with his apprentice, Jonathan Chang.

Since 2002 I have been operating a solo Traditional Chinese Medicine practice in Guelph, Ontario.
