February 2010:
Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics are on! Some say its the warmest one, but the top stories are the number of medals won by Canadians (many of them women!). Congratulations to all of those involved with getting it all together to present to the world how well Canada can host the international community! Cheers!
Inspired by the athletes? With spring peeking around the corner, dust off those running shoes, tune up your bike and get outside! The sun shines more and more as we approach summer, longer days too. With your new routine, or just stepping up the current one, monthly massage is a great way to reward yourself for work well done. So call your massage therapist for an appointment to work out those aches and pains, and ask her for some stretching tips. We are all trained to help you achieve your goals of well being and pain free workouts.
My schedule right now is:
Mondays and Tuesdays 10am-6pm at Vitality Treatment Center, 1842 Oak Bay Ave, 250.370.1020
Wednesdays and Thursdays 1pm-8pm at Vancouver Island Naturopathic Clinic, 250.881.1806
I still have one more year of classwork to go at the Canadian College of Osteopathy, Vancouver. I'm very excited to incorporate all that I have learned thus far into my treatments. Its been challenging, no doubt the last year will be even more so, but I'll be very happy to finish the program.

January 2009:
Gung Hai Fat Choi! Welcome to 2009. The year has started out exciting and continues to bring prosperity, opportunities, and new experiences. My coursework has expanded my practice to include more myofascial techniques, visceral assessment and manipulation, and advanced craniosacral work. This style of assessment and technique help me build a better picture of where your body is at and how I can help you work towards being pain free and maintaining homeostasis with all systems of the body.
"...we find in the Buddha´s texts a discussion of the preciousness of the human body and human existence. At that stage, we never talk about how impure the body and bodily substances are, or how imperfect they are. In fact, we are talking about how good it is, how meaningful, how purposeful, how much potential lies within our body, what good purpose it can be used for..." His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Find your potential and take care of it, because you ARE precious and can make a change in your life and the lives of others.

A quote to ponder:
This is the true joy in life: Being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations. - George Bernard Shaw, "attributed as from a "speech at Brighton""
