How it works
- Acupuncture uses very fine, sterile needles at specific points to improve circulation, calm the nervous system, and support the body’s natural healing response.
- This drug-free therapy is commonly used for pain, stress, sleep, digestive issues, and women’s health concerns.
Method of diagnosis
- Diagnosis begins with a detailed conversation about symptoms, lifestyle, sleep, digestion, emotions, and medical history, followed by observation and palpation of meridians and acupoints.
- These findings are synthesized into a pattern diagnosis, which then guides point selection and treatment planning.
Root-cause focus
- Rather than only masking pain or symptoms, treatment aims to address the underlying imbalance in your body’s systems.
- By working at this root level, acupuncture can create longer‑term change in health rather than temporary relief.
Hello, I'm Yi
Supporting Your Healing Journey with Expert Acupuncture for Wellness and Balance
Yi has received a Four-year Bachelor of Traditional Chinese medicine degree from Northwest University since 2005. Yi spent another 16 years focus on Acupuncture study and practice in Shanghai, Calgary and Vancouver.
Now registered with the College of Complementary Health Professionals of BC (CCHPBC).
Based on the strong background, She opened her own acupuncture clinic in 2022 on popular Main Street, Vancouver, providing natural pain relief through the ancient art of acupuncture.
Her treatment consists of diagnosis through palpation which provides instant feedback for patient and practitioner. This method of palpation is mostly done on the back or abdomen and areas of the limbs where certain sensations or lack of reflexes can diagnosis certain conditions of the body.
She believes it is related between internal organ function and disease. So the treatment begins from balancing internal organ function wherein lies the essential root cause of your conditions and culminates in establishing a strong foundation.
Outside of the clinic, She enjoys travelling, skiing, cycling, swimming, playing badminton, table tennis, tennis and exploring our beautiful city.
