REWRITE YOUR STORY
REACH YOUR GOALS
As of 2021, after 25 years in Vancouver, building and practicing in 3 successful multi-practitioner clinics, helping thousands of people reach their health & wellness goals, my wife Chantal, my 3 boys (Salix Ari and Axel), Ollie (pooch), Soul (kitty) and I moved to Salt Spring Island to start a new chapter of life. I am thankful that I have arrived at a point in my life and career, through hard work, study, and many years of experience as a facilitator of others healing, that I know I have something valuable to offer anyone going through any health challenge.

Acupuncture for Optimal Health
Acupuncture, a cornerstone of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), has gained significant attention in recent years for its potential to improve overall health and well-being. This ancient practice involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body, known as acupoints. If you’re seeking a natural and effective way to optimize your health, acupuncture may be worth considering.
Stress Relief with Acupuncture
Stress is a common human experience, but it can have significant impacts on our physical and mental health. It’s a response to a perceived threat or challenge, whether it’s a job deadline, a personal relationship issue, or a global pandemic. It can also be described as a resistance to existence (simply not accepting and surrendering to the way things are).
Stress & Weight Gain
Time pressure. Family drama. Work demands. Money. Kids. House or car trouble. Health concerns. In-laws. HR. Hardly enough time to shop let alone prepare healthy nourishing meals. Countless upsetting social/political/economic issues of the world creeping onto your favorite method of information consumption (maybe you should put that down!). Possibly worst of all, a lack of self-love, resulting in lack of self-care.
