Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner & Acupuncturist
Erik Pasquino
Erik started his Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) journey after multiple skiing injuries, amazed by how well it worked. He found it helped not only his sports injuries and pain, but also his sleep, digestion, stress and emotions. He holds a 6-year advanced diploma from 8 Branches Academy, completed a 2-month internship in China, and has a Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies from York University.
Erik takes a hands-on approach with acupuncture and Tui Na (therapeutic massage). Treatments may include cupping, and a heat lamp is often used for comfort and its therapeutic benefits. He can also make lifestyle and dietary recommendations based on TCM principles.
TCM treats body and mind as a whole, so your first treatment includes a full body-system review and health history, including your tongue and pulse. Together you build a plan to improve your health. Erik moved back from British Columbia to be closer to friends and family; outside the clinic you will find him gardening, hiking, on his motorcycle or supporting Liverpool F.C.
