What I bring to the table

Taking into account that each client is unique with conditions that present differently, I am skilled in many acupuncture methods such as palpation by AcuPressure, classic acupuncture, Fu’s Subcutaneous Needling, advanced cupping methods with the goal of providing maximum relief and a better pathway to wellness for the future.

A little backstory

I fell in love with Vancouver when I first visited many years ago and decided to move here to enjoy the seawall and mild weather. Luckily, I was introduced to a Traditional Chinese medicine doctor in my local community who encouraged me and led me to continue my passion for acupuncture and herbal medicine, following the footsteps of my beloved grandfather.

Outside the clinic

When I’m not at the clinic, I enjoy being in the mountains skiing and taking road trips and soaking in the views from coast to coast.

What I bring to the table

My humanity, my deep care for you and for meeting you where you are, my commitment to supporting, advocating for, and honouring you in your explorations and reclamations, as well as everything my body and I have learned and continue to learn from navigating healing and the healing process in relationship and in community.

I am purposeful in integrating rituals in the therapeutic context, especially when accompanying you in your explorations of intergenerational and ancestral healing.

A little backstory

My ancestral name is 棠棠 Tangtang (pronounced as t-ong t-ong), given to me by my great grandfather to mean crabapple blossoms. My ancestral lineages and lands — their histories, realities, and ongoing complexities — continue to inform my learning, unlearning, and relearning in life and in relationships, and as an uninvited settler living on the traditional, ancestral, and stolen Coast Salish territories, including the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səlil̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Outside the clinic

I grow vegetables and give my house plants names, love cooking soups and stews, enjoy discovering nooks and crannies of the world on my bicycle, and will always stop to pet a cat, make art, share food, play a board game, or listen to a story.

What I bring to the table

I was always intrigued by movement, nutrition, and the capability of the human body growing up as an athlete. I empower my patients to take control of their health through informed choices based on education of the root causes of their conditions and their internal profiles. In partnership with my patients, we work together to achieve meaningful results.

A little backstory

I grew up on the west coast in North Vancouver with the mountains, mossy forest and rainy days. However, I spent most of my days in an ice rink. I competed at the Canadian National Figure Skating Championships in Ice Dance from 2011 to 2013 but my skating career ended due to chronic groin and low back injury which would alter my life after sport. I struggled to walk, sleep, and do every day activities. Three years later, I ended up in a naturopathic doctors office to work on treating the root cause of my pain. I was so inspired by naturopathic medicine and all it had to offer that I applied to become a naturopathic doctor myself.

Outside the clinic

As a nature lover, I feel most at home hiking in the woods and spending time near the ocean. You may also find me hanging upside down dabbling in acroyoga. Except for Sundays, I will be at the farmers market, buying organic and local ingredients.

What I bring to the table

My willingness to teach and my reluctance to stop learning. I love what I do. I believe that our profession can only grow if we put the effort into growing ourselves. I am a clinical educator and mentor for the UBC program. And whether it was my experience with university/ professional athletes, the Olympics, or le Cirque du Soleil, I have used every opportunity to learn and grow as a therapist, and I am always happy to share that experience and expertise to any and all who need it.

A little backstory

I was 11 years old playing competitive hockey when I first damaged my knee. I remember going to Physio and doing exercises and saying to myself: “This job is awesome, this is what I want to do”. That determination led me half way around the world to UQ, one of the foremost leaders in physiotherapy. That drive continued, opening doors at the 2010 Olympic Games and later in the medical department for Le Cirque du Soleil. Ive taken that drive and experience and continue to improve myself everyday, more recently by completing my Fellowship in the field of clinical orthopaedics.

Outside of the clinic

As I have gotten older, I’ve started to spend less time training in the gym and early morning skates and more time working out chasing my kids around. Less balancing on Swiss balls and more balancing life. Don’t get me wrong, that feeling of skates cutting into a fresh sheet of ice still gives me goose bumps, but I now have a different goal in life and I am putting all that fire towards them.

What I bring to the training floor

My experience being a yoga student and teacher has taught me about how movement and connection with the body and breath can bring people peace. I’m so excited to combine my education and knowledge of the human body with my passion of caring for others into my own kinesiology practice.

A little backstory

I grew up in a small town near Calgary, Alberta, and spent most of my younger days playing various sports and nursing various injuries. I was a classic high school jock so It was only natural for me to continue my education in kinesiology. There I found my passion for helping people find body awareness and healing through movement.

Outside the clinic

Outside of the clinic you can find me at the yoga studio, catching a live music show, or heading up to Whistler for a powder day. On the other hand, I’m totally guilty of binge watching an entire series on Netflix within a couple days 🤷🏼‍♀️

What I bring to the table

I have 8 years of experience in multi-disciplinary clinical settings, and also in a spa setting.

A little backstory

Born and raised in the Greater Toronto Area, I trained and worked for several years in Barrie before thinking I’d settle in for a nice, boring road to retirement at a spa in the country. I lasted about 2 years before missing the fun of working on a multi-disciplinary team and the challenge of rehab cases. So I made the leap and moved to beautiful BC!

Outside the clinic

I’ll be enjoying the gorgeous landscape hiking, singing badly and loudly, and playing my fiddle.

I have extensive experience in injury and post-surgical rehabilitation, prenatal and sports massage, along with many other areas of client care.

A little backstory

I was born in Trinidad and spent much of my childhood living the Caribbean dream before my parents decided to relocate to Toronto (Scarborough). Those early years of playing and discovering the outdoors has stayed with me throughout my life and, to this day, I am an active athlete who enjoys much of the outdoors.

What I bring to the table

My passion for learning and my in-depth knowledge of human anatomy and surgical procedures. In my journey to physiotherapy I first completed a Master of Science in Clinical Anatomy where I conducted research with orthopaedic surgeons looking at a variety of surgical approaches.

I then moved to Chicago to teach cadaver dissection at UIC where I still work as a faculty member teaching anatomy remotely. Since completing my physiotherapy training I’ve had the opportunity to work with a variety of individuals, from weekend-warriors, clients with neurological impairments, and of course, many post-surgical patients.

A little backstory

I was born and raised in South Burnaby and played high level soccer for 18 years. I suffered a major knee injury that required 3 surgeries, and as is often the case for physios, I had such admiration for my own personal physiotherapist that I wanted to get involved in the profession and give back in the same way my physio had done for me.

Outside the clinic

When I’m not working at the clinic you can find me lecturing at different universities, out for a bike ride on the seawall, swimming in one of the amazing lakes around BC, or exploring some of Vancouver’s best eats/local craft breweries; I’m a self-proclaimed craft beer aficionado.

What I bring to the table

As part of my studies at the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy (VCMT), I was a student intern at the VCMT clinic and finished 550 hours of internship. I’ve had a chance to work with a wide range of individuals that suffer from various issues such as acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain, limitations in mobility and headaches.

A little backstory

I was born and grew up in the Philippines and I moved to Vancouver in 2016. I’ve loved the city ever since. I first thought of working in the field of rehabilitation after volunteering at Sunny Hill Health Centre, a rehabilitation centre for children. I saw firsthand how much it meant for the patients to be able to regain functional mobility and it made me want to be a part of their journey to wellbeing. I chose to study massage because I’m able to be 100% hands on with my patients and help them achieve their treatment goals.

Outside the clinic

Whenever it’s sunny and warm outside, I like going to the mountains and checking out new hiking trails. If it’s cold and raining, I’ll be training at the gym for boxing, kickboxing and occasionally BJJ. And when I’m feeling lazy, I’ll plop myself on the couch and binge watch my favourite movies or TV series.

I have completed advanced manual therapy courses that allows me to effectively treat the neck, shoulder, upper and lower back.

Furthermore, I can provide physiotherapy services in Chinese, French and English.

A little backstory

As a born and raised South-Vancouver Chinese kid, I grew up occasionally practicing martial arts, swimming lessons and being forced to take piano lessons.

I was very skinny and un-athletic in high school, and I knew I had to do more for my fitness. In my first year of university, I began to lift weights at the gym and it soon grew into a burning passion for exercise. I was studying Kinesiology at the time, and it made sense to combine my passion for health and fitness into a profession.

Physiotherapy was a natural progression, because I really enjoy learning about the human body, and I have always wanted to help others in my community!

Outside the clinic

You can find me almost living at the gym, as it is one of my favourite hobbies. I competed in my first powerlifting competition in 2015, where I won first place in the BCPA Winter Open Bench Press.

I am always training, and I hope to compete again in the future. Outside of the gym, I am starting to play volleyball, and I am also playing in a multi-sport league with my church team.

I enjoy seeking new experiences, and I am hoping to try different sports and outdoor activities this year!

I’m a graduate of the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy program and prior to this, I had over a decade of experience working as a Shiatsu Therapist and as a residential care aid for adults with development disabilities and mental health conditions. Both of these skills and experiences complemenet my massage therapy. My proficiencies include a variety of corrective techniques, among which include myofascial, neuromuscular, IASTM, and joint mobilizations.

A little backstory

As a life long Vancouverite, I understood early on that helping others was something I enjoyed and connected with. While I thought that counselling was my calling (majored in psychology at SFU), I soon realized that I had more confidence in supporting people with my hands than with my words.

Outside the clinic

When I’m not out admiring or creating collage art, you can find me walking my dog around the neighbourhood or nearest park, enjoying some bougie tea (self-proclaimed tea snob) or learning my next new skill (Youtube self taught crocheter).

What I bring to the floor

My experience ranges from working with new moms & pregnant women to professional athletes and weekend warriors. My goal is to empower my clients to take back control of their fitness journey. I want to give my clients knowledge of their body anatomy, educate on proper biomechanics and encourage safe exercise through proper warm ups, core stabilization and sweaty circuit training.

A little backstory

Being a true Canadian born & raised in North Vancouver, I spent many mornings in a cold yet freshly zambonied ice rink. I competed at three national figure skating championships and obtained a B.Sc degree in Biomedical Physiology (basically a lot of science about the human body and how it moves). My athletic & academic background inspired my love of teaching proper exercise technique and creating fun yet sweaty workouts.

Outside the clinic

As a nature lover, I feel most at home hiking in the woods and spending time near the ocean. You may also find me hanging upside down dabbling in acroyoga. Except for Sundays, I will be at the farmers market, buying organic and local ingredients.
