About Yu
> Thomas Lai, R.Ac
> "A healer's job is not to heal anyone. It's to become wholesome so that people around can resonate with the wholesomeness and heal themselves."
> Thomas is passionate about classical acupuncture and making Traditional Chinese Medicine accessible to everyone. With training in both traditional channel theory and several specialized gentle techniques, he supports patients experiencing pain, structural imbalances, neurological conditions, insomnia, and stress-related symptoms. He has a particular interest in sleep and stress — conditions that are deeply interconnected in classical TCM and often at the root of broader health concerns. His approach is unhurried, attentive to the whole person, and rooted in the classical tradition.
