About Sammy

##Hi, I'm Dr. Sammy. I practice acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, cupping, and various other techniques that fall under the umbrella of Chinese medicine. My interest in medicine started at an early age. I grew up sharing a home with high-needs foster siblings, which inspired me to attend university to become a physician. When I personally experienced the positive impact of an integrated eastern medical approach, I shifted into my current line of practice. I have been practising acupuncture since 2013; formally opening my licensed private clinic in 2017 while completing education to become a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine. During this time I have also served as a Teaching Assistant for classes in tai qi, qi gong, orthopaedic needling, and other related classes at Pacific Rim College. I strive to continually enhance my understanding of Traditional Chinese medicine and contemporary western practices in order to provide clients with the highest standard of care. I am committed to creating a safe space for my clients to feel unconditionally held within their process, however that takes shape. I look forward to hearing from you. “To reveal someone’s beauty is to reveal their value by giving them time, attention, and tenderness. To love is not just to do something for them but to reveal to them their own uniqueness, to tell them that they are special and worthy of attention.” -Jean Vanier

“I have visited Sammy numerous times over the last 7 years and my health has seen an incredible improvement. She's a very gentle and kind healer and takes the time to listen, hear and investigate the issue(s) and finds the right treatments to heal your body. Sammy has also provided me with a number of natural herbs to get over colds, lack of energy etc and all treatments have given me back my health and energy. Highly recommend Sammy if you're looking to deal with your physical ailments.”

“Sammy is a wonderful acupuncturist. I have been seeing her for several months for a number of ailments and I always leave feeling better. Her work has improved my overall quality of life. Sammy takes a holistic, caring and gentle approach to her work and really takes the time to connect with her clients and help them move towards their health goals. Not only is she incredibly skilled in her treatments but she does an amazing job at creating a sanctuary in her practice: a safe and nurturing space where I feel comfortable resting my body and mind. I feel so grateful that my friend recommended I see Sammy, I can't imagine seeing anyone else!”

“Sammy is incredibly gentle and extremely competent as a practitioner. She provides great insight into the holistic nature of treatment and I always walk out of my appointments feeling lighter both physically and psychologically. I have been seeing Sammy on a semi-regular basis for chronic pain and acute injuries, and am happy to recommend her to anyone with any pain, whether it's a long-standing injury or some newly acquired pain. I was unaware of the breadth of scope that acupuncture/Chinese medicine covers and feel confident in the skills that Sammy possesses in order to help me improve my physical and mental well-being. Plus she is just so lovely to share space with- what more can you ask for?”

“I started seeing Sammy for a lower back injury and other related pain but was nervous because I had never received acupuncture before. Sammy made me feel at ease immediately--she has a very calm and empathetic presence. I have found treatments to be very focused on my exact needs and always leave feeling immediate relief. My pain has significantly lessened since receiving acupuncture and cupping treatments from Sammy, which also brings peace of mind that I don't have to keep living with chronic pain. I highly recommend her services.”

“Sammy is amazing at what she does. She took the time to get to know me and my medical history so that she could treat me the best she could. Sammy is amazing at keeping me calm and relaxed through treatment, and explains what she’s doing so that I better understand the treatment. I always look forward to our appointments!”

“Sammy has worked tremendously hard with me weekly to help me continue my healing journey, from both my back injury and other ailments related to my disability, cerebral palsy. She is kind, loving, empathetic and compassionate. At a very reasonable rate Sammy does home visits, allowing me to be treated, where I’m most comfortable. She comes prepared with one goal in mind, to bring wellness into my life.”
