Frederic studied for two years in a nursing program before deciding to commit fully to studies on TCM and acupuncture in 1995 at the Institute of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture of Canada. In 1999, he graduated and started working full time under his teacher Prof. Cedric Cheung at the Institute in London, Ontario. For 13 years, Frederic gained priceless experience treating patients seven days a week. His teacher remarked often enough how experience gained in clinical practice is not taught in books. In addition, Frederic learned about the "healing heart" from his teacher, which is the understanding of how the healing of the patient comes from within and that a true doctor supports the patient with sincerity, compassion and devotion. In 2007, Frederic took and passed the International Acupuncture Examination in Beijing, China. He had learned from various masters over the years. The mentality of ‘Always the student’ is part of the cultivation in Chinese medicine that allows us to grow with humility and wisdom. Frederic continues to practice medicine at our clinic 5 days a week. Previously, he provided TCM treatments once a week for mental health at the Canadian Mental Health Association -Durham. He was also part of the teaching faculty at the Ontario College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which offers a 'Registered Acupuncturist' and 'Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner' diploma in Markham. He also precepts students from other TCM schools. Frederic is also a long-standing supporting member of the Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Association of Canada (CMAAC). He regularly plays volleyball and practices yoga, qigong, and meditation for rejuvenation. His life motto is to be true to who he is and keep life simple as possible - and patients love him for his straightforwardness and sense of humour!
