As clinical director, I have built and empowered a team of integrated fertility experts and practitioners who have become internationally known for treating infertility and pregnancy support, as well as fatigue, anxiety, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and pain. Our integrated approach incorporates both research-based and time-tested treatments combining Chinese medicine, acupuncture, naturopathy, and functional medicine.

Year after year, I’m proud that Acubalance is recognized for its exceptional patient-centered care and has been repeatedly named in Georgia Straight’s Best of Vancouver Awards for acupuncturists and naturopathic clinics.

I’m an advocate for integrative health and wellness and strive to inspire others to learn, share and help. After leaving a career as a CPA and receiving my Dr. of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Dr.TCM) at Vancouver’s International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I continued to pursue training in hypnosis, functional medicine, cold laser therapy, Psych K, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to allow me to offer an integrative approach to assist your body’s innate ability to heal your pain, digestive disorders,  anxiety, hormone imbalances, and reproductive health issues.

In order to help advance Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, functional medicine, and naturopathy, I created one of the largest online sources for acupuncture & functional medicine continuing education at ProDSeminars.com and Medigogy.com, now under the Healthy Seminars banner.

In 2015, I founded and co-chaired the world’s first Integrative Fertility Symposium conference bringing together reproductive endocrinologists, urologists, and natural fertility practitioners (acupuncturists, naturopathic doctors, and functional medicine practitioners) at the Integrative Fertility Symposium in Vancouver, Canada.

I’m passionate about my work and enjoy sharing my knowledge and expertise in many areas including:

  • publishing the Acubalance Fertility Diet
  • pioneering laser acupuncture protocol for fertility.
  • appearing as a fertility expert on TV, Radio, magazines, and newspapers including the Globe and Mail and Macleans Magazine.

  • Presenting at Chinese medicine conferences such as AOMA (Texas), FSOMA (Florida), AAAOM (Chicago & LA), ICCM (Tel Aviv, Israel), TCM Kongress (Germany), IICMC (Australia), and IFS (Vancouver BC)

  • lending my expertise on numerous other boards and advisory panels as well, including the Quality Assurance Board of the British Columbia College of Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture (CTCMA), and the PDA Advisory Panel for the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM)
  • being the first appointed “Natural Products Expert” to the Clinical Research Ethics Board (CREB) for the University of British Columbia
