Every time I asked myself this question, the first answer that came to mind was, “By being a surgeon.” So I pursued that goal, only to realize after my first year in pre-med that maybe there was a different way. I had always been fascinated by the human body; anatomy, physiology, even biochemistry, all drew my interest. Also, I had always wanted to help people and make a difference in their lives.

So naturally, I started pre-med in university very enthusiastic to learn as much as possible. But to my surprise, I wasn’t inspired at all. Something major was missing: interaction with patients. How was it possible that the only ways discussed in class to treat a patient were to prescribe medication or perform surgery? Why weren’t we addressing other modalities like nutrition, lifestyle and stress management? More and more, I knew I had to find a better way to learn what real medicine meant. Once I found out about Chinese medicine, I knew it was my calling. I wanted to understand the mystery and complexity of Chinese medicine, Qi and acupuncture. I enrolled in a program at the Michener Institute of Education at University Health Network which was made available by the University of Tianjin and Nanjingjin to Toronto students wishing to specialize in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The program granted students full access to all the major hospitals in the downtown core, and the location, next to Chinatown, provided easy access to resources. Plus, the program had accreditation with national standards through the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). I applied and said a few prayers. Soon I was one of the 25 selected students allowed per year. My studies were preparing me for the arduous task of pioneering this healing approach, new to the Western medical system, by serving as an educator, advocate and resource to both patients and doctors in Ontario. Now, that was inspiring! It also challenged me to broaden my existing knowledge of Western scientific standards and open up to philosophies based on observations of the environment. Chinese medicine has roots and proof of data dating as far back as 5,000 years ago. If I was going to help patients heal, it was going to be with this. After 4,000 hours of practical and theoretical diagnostics and clinical experience—not to mention having to learn a new language at a grade 2 level!—I finally received my Diploma with Honours in Acupuncture. I also completed a concurrent degree in Complementary Medicine (Bachelor of Health Science) through a joint educational program with Charles Sturt University in Australia. My experience in the program prepared me to navigate discussions with patients about options and alternatives to the sometimes invasive practices of everyday medicine. It allowed me to focus on the importance of empowering patients to be advocates for their own health. Now, after almost 20 years of experience, my work with patients has aligned with the goals I had from the beginning:

To provide the public with the utmost level of education for their health;

To help patients combine the best of all medicines and make informed decisions; and

To promote the simple idea that everyone is worthy of putting themselves first, and living a normal routine that encourages prevention—not disease. Thanks for joining me on this journey. Whether you work with me directly or just learn a few new things from this site, your Qi will thank you!

⚡Hunny, I've got heels higher than your standards!⁣
⬇️
When people, places and events give out positive energy, it's almost contagious and fueling - you thrive off of it. But, when the same happens in those scenarios that are full of negative energy, you are left empty, drained and wishing you could reverse clocks to get that time back. ⁣
⬇️
Here's the thing: YOU are in charge of protecting your energy, do not allow anything or anyone to mess with it. TAKE UP ALL THE DAMN SPACE. You're a big fish now 💯⁣

WHY put so many things off 'UNTIL'?⁣ 🤔

YOU: "I'm not going to be able to watch my diet until that project is finished," or, "There's no time to meditate because I have laundry to do," or, I'm saving that outfit for a special occasion." ⁣
⁣
Honey, I've heard it all! 🤭⁣
⁣
LET'S CHANGE THINGS UP. No more waiting for that special event. No more holding off until just the right moment 😉⁣
⁣
TODAY IS THE RIGHT MOMENT. Take one step closer to what brings you joy. Better yet, TAKE A RUNNING LEAP 🤸‍♀️⁣

⚡GOOD VIBES OR GOOD-BYE ⚡⁣
⁣
Are you still offering your best energy to the very thing that drains you? 😐⁣
⁣
Let me remind you: you are not responsible for the emotional experience of others. Hear that?! 👍 Energy is currency, baby! Now is the time to pay attention to where you place your energy—because that’s how you’re spending your currency. Focus on spending it on what feeds you, not on what annoys you. Plus, I’m happy to issue you a refund for anyone’s bullsh*t! 😋

🌜I LIKE MY (OUTER) SPACE 🌛⁣
⁣
The full moon - aka the super Worm Moon - will reach its peak in the driven Libra sign at 2:48pm EST. I'm not an astrology girl, but I do know a thing or two about how our energy (Qi) is connected to these moon phases, so buckle up! 😉 This is going to be a see-saw between Yin and Yang; the perfect balance of the divine feminine (where my ladies at 👩‍🎤) and the sacred masculine (put down that chili dog down 🌭). This is what Libra is all about and she's coming in hot with its diplomatic approach for helping us examine the dynamics of our closest relationships. 💞 ⁣
⁣
This is the kind of energy that inspires us to smooth over any disagreements. 🙄 Put all your issues out into the open and allow the moon's energy to guide you towards a resolution. Prepare for some big emotions to come out so try to focus on finding middle ground between your desires and other people's. 🤝 And, to my loving husband, please accept my apology in advance for this full moon! 😘

How it all started...

How can I save lives?

I had always been fascinated by the human body; anatomy, physiology, even biochemistry, all drew my interest. Also, I had always wanted to help people and make a difference in their lives. So naturally, I started pre-med in university very enthusiastic to learn as much as possible. But to my surprise, I wasn’t inspired at all. Something major was missing: interaction with patients.
