Michelle is a second-generation Chinese Canadian with strong ties to her culture. Chinese Medicine has been a part of her life from a young age from attending acupuncture appointments with her parents to watching her Yeh Yeh (grandpa) boil pungent herbs in their garage. The teachings and philosophies of Traditional Chinese Medicine are founded on the principles of balance and harmony - balance and harmony within yourself, with others, and with Mother Nature. When things are out of balance, dis-ease is the result. Michelle aims to teach her patients to live intuitively and aligned with Mother Nature to achieve a life of balance. Outside of the clinic, Michelle loves spending time down at the beach with her dog (especially during low tide) and trying out new recipes in the kitchen.

I work using a combination of deep tissue, active techniques, myofascial and swedish to encourage change in the muscles while also guiding the body into a deep state of relaxation. I believe in utilizing a holistic perspective. My treatments tend to incorporate the whole body and are designed to decrease pain, encourage circulation and promote body awareness. The most rewarding part of my career is helping my patients return to feeling like themselves again after dealing with chronic pain or acute injury.

Before massage therapy, my background was in mental health. My past work informs my knowledge of the pain-stress cycle, the nervous system and mindfulness but has also taught me how to create a non-judgmental, patient centered experience for my clients.

I myself first came to massage therapy first as a patient dealing with chronic pain. It enriched my well-being so profoundly that I found myself a year later in the classroom studying to be an RMT.
