Dr. Yim's lifelong interest in health and nutrition led him initially to massage therapy. After completing his training and board exams, he opened his own practice as a registered massage therapist in Nanaimo, BC. During his seven years as a RMT he realized that he could only take people so far in their health journey. He was able to successfully assist them with physical and structural issues, but felt there was a missing component. In 1987 he began studies at Malaspina University-College, now Vancouver Island University for prerequisites to attend medical school. After working as an RMT and attending classes at the university he and his family moved to Seattle so he could attend the prestigious, Bastyr University. He proudly received his doctorate in naturopathic medicine after four years with top honours. Upon completion of the rigorous licensing exams that the College of Naturopathic Physicians of BC requires, Dr. Yim established his clinic and practice back home in Nanaimo, B.C. Since 1994, Dr. Yim has been helping people regain and maintain optimal health, naturally. He has earned a respected name and reputation for providing exceptional health care.
