When Calvin was in his early 20’s he was introduced to the wonders of Chinese medicine as an international athlete. Performing at a high level was hard on body and mind alike. As such, Chinese medicine and acupuncture became a staple in his life to treat joint pain, stress, insomnia and headaches. As time passed competitions faded and a desire to understand human health took root. Through the 2000s to present Calvin has gained substantial education to treat mobility issues such as headaches, stiff necks, frozen shoulders, aching backs and muscular pain. At one point in his career he worked predominantly with the elderly and gained a unique perspective on treating aging mobility diseases such as osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Although Calvin has enjoyed serving the public in treating mobility issues he has had other focuses over his 20 year career in conditions around fertility, insomnia and digestive problems. Calvin has had a very deep and broad Chinese medicine education. This is reflected in his treatment presentations that usually consist of acupressure (finger pressure and massage techniques), medicinal ointments, hot towel applications, acupuncture, cupping and the dispensing of Chinese medicinals. With these healing modalities combined, treatments come across to patient’s as ‘spa-like’. This realization helps to affirm Calvin’s healing philosophy of “Healing should be a pleasant experience not more trauma”. Which would your immune system prefer?

I remember being in Whistler at 10 years old, looking over the valley below and mountains above, knee deep in powder, and feeling like there’s no place I’d rather be. The West Coast called to my sense of adventure, and had a lot to offer my active lifestyle. I skied, snowboarded, swam, mountain biked, kayaked, white water rafted and brought others along with me. That was until I had a complicated nerve and tissue injury and my active lifestyle came to a sudden halt.

After my injury, I knew I needed to find a new approach to life and solutions for my healing. I began to seek new therapies and experience the amazing power of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Chinese Medicine provided me with major improvements in circulation, pain, sleep, mood and mental state that helped me to get through a very challenging and dark period of my life.

I’m an athlete at heart, so returning to a state where I could once again engage in my active lifestyle brought spark and meaning back to my life. The experience showed me just how much I wanted to help others in the same way. TCM theories and holistic perspectives about the energy and interconnectedness of all nature, align very much with my own mindset. I found my path.

Traditional Chinese Medicine allows us to treat through naturally-oriented methods, whether preferred as an alternate healing route to Western medicine, or coupled with it. I focus on the importance of both digestive and mental health, 2 of the main pillars on which our entire well-being rests.

A session with me may incorporate treatment methods including Acupuncture, Guasha, Cupping, Tuina & Acupressure, as well as lifestyle and TCM focused diet guidance. While incorporating TCM principles in my own daily diet, function and habits, I love to empower others to do so as well in whatever healing or growth process they are going through.
