Holiday Greetings & Happy Solstice!

Hello dear friends and patients!

Winter is in full swing (brrrrr!) and holidays are right around the corner!
I hope you and yours are enjoying festivities and making room for health and happiness.

The Fall has been a busy one for me with the new arrival of baby Thomas Borneo. He is a happy baby and big sister Beatrice is taking her job very seriously!
I will be returning to practice in the early Spring resuming on Mondays 12:00 - 6:00. Unfortunately, I won't be returning to Klinik, as the commute is a bit of a juggle. However, I will be at Impulse Sport Therapeutics in West Van (impulsesport.ca) if you have a chance to cross the bridge!

I will be missing Klinik and all of the wonderful practitioners (and my regular clients!) but looking forward to a New Year and a New Start!

All the best for the holidays and 2017~

What is Cupping? And why do I use it ALL the time?

Cupping is a healing modality that has been used in Chinese medicine for centuries. It is a Chinese massage or  tuina technique that is frequently used during an acupuncture treatment. The mechanism behind cupping involves creating a deep suction effect with the skin and the underlying tissues. Usually, this involves dipping a cotton ball in 90% proof alcohol, lighting the cotton ball on fire and sticking this in the cup to rob the cup of any oxygen. This is then placed immediately on the skin to create the suction. Cups are typically left on the skin for 10 minutes. Placing cups on the skin and removing right away and repeating this is known as ' Flash ' cupping. Applying a lotion or cream base prior to cupping and moving on the skin is known as 'Slide' cupping. The suction and pressure of the cups is excellent to help: -relieve musculoskeletal pain -relieve tension headaches & migraines -improve immune function- flush out cough & colds faster -re...
