Originally from Toronto, Ian is a dedicated acupuncturist with a passion for bridging Eastern healing principles with modern sports recovery. Before becoming a Registered Acupuncturist, Ian spent six years as a trainer and fitness coordinator for corporate health and wellness at Google California. Working with high-performing professionals and athletes, he saw firsthand the impact of stress, injuries, and recovery challenges. This sparked his deeper interest in holistic health, leading him to explore Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) while in the Bay Area. In 2022, Ian returned to Toronto to pursue his Diploma in Acupuncture and Certificate in Medical Qi Gong at the Ontario College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. As a Certified Personal Trainer, athlete, and coach in combat sports and martial arts, he integrates his diverse expertise to help clients optimize performance, prevent injuries, and restore balance.
This is your first visit with us and gives us the opportunity to get to know you as we deep dive into your current and past health history during this detailed intake. An acupuncture treatment will be included once all information is collected. Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese technique that harnesses your body’s self-healing capabilities and natural bodily function through stimulating specific points. Acupuncture promotes the flow of energy along meridians throughout the body, releasing “Qi” and balancing both yin and yang. When all these forces are balanced, the body is healthy. However, when these channels are blocked and out of balance; pain, lack of function or illness may occur. Through stimulating the body’s various systems, Acupuncture can restore proper function and act as a form of preventative medicine for a healthier, happier future.
