318 Duncan Ave Unit C, Courtenay, BC, V9N 2M5

Barb completed the Doctoral Program of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2004. Her prior careers were in kinesiology and prosthetics. All aspects of her life have revolved around health, fitness, and nature. Mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, and yoga are her main passions. Being drawn to Traditional Chinese Medicine was based on personal health issues that western medicine was only able to put a band aid on. TCM treats the root cause and underlying issues of the body, mind, and environment. The medicine is based on TCM organ patterns and diagnosis. Everyone is unique. Any condition from anxiety, insomnia, hormones, or pain can be treated using therapies such as acupuncture, custom herbal formulas, tui na (Chinese massage), cupping, and/or gua sha (skin scraping).
