You won't miss 87 Spadina Avenue while you driving by. You are welcome with a warm reddish orange door, which distinguishes our red brick house from others on our street. We've just redecorated our clinic. We hope you like the new look. The basic tone of our office is now morning sunshine yellow, which represents warmth, energy and vitality. The main treatment area is painted mixture of soft blue and green for relaxation, and connection with nature. Our bulk herbal pharmacy is now located on the lower level and the prepared herbal products are still displayed on the main floor. You'll find new and old traditional Chinese artworks decorating the entire clinic. Healing music is always in the air.
For
our new clients, the initial consultation is jointly conducted with Dr. Ying and
Way, two "great minds" for the price of one, eh. As Way has reached his capacity,
Dr. Ying performs treatment procedures for all our new clients. Dr. Ying and Way
have worked together for over two years, they have the same training, same
experience and same style. Way is always available for participating discussions if needed.

Someone who matches our sunshine spirit and healing energy has just joined in our team. Welcome Samantha Liu, our new assistant. With her youthful vigour and enthusiasm, we all feel we could be the next astronauts. Sam is very good with people, always cheerful and friendly. She greets you so warm-heartedly that you feel as if you are home again after so many years of travelling overseas. Catherine said that Sam's smile made her forget all about acupuncture "needles".

The TCMWORKS Difference
We have extensive academic training and we are all TCM doctors from
China. We have researched into the history of medicine and various
healing traditions. We have a combined clinical experience of over sixty
years. We created the most effective TCM healing system – ITT –
Integrated TCM Therapies. This is to say that we use more than one TCM
techniques in a single session as necessary to maximize the healing
power of TCM. The often used TCM therapies are acupuncture, herbology,
tuina, moxibustion, cupping, qigong, advices on diet and exercises as
well as electric, magnetic or laser stimulation to acupuncture points.
The ITT method is to realize individualized treatment strategy and to
awaken the natural healing power within you, the client.
At TCMWORKS, we know your name, understand your concerns and needs. We
do everything we can to help you. We cannot guarantee that we can cure
you, but we certainly treat you well and make you feel better. When you
are under our care, you are the most important person.
Director's Salutation
Hello my friend,
Please just call me Way. I hope you find the right way to improve your
health. I was born from a Chinese medicine family. I have been studying
and practising acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) since
1978. I completed a 5 year professional program (1978-83) at Hunan
College of TCM in Changsha, China. Then I continued my
postgraduate training(1983-86) in TCM with a thesis entitled “A
Study on the Inner Developmental Laws of the Basic Theories of TCM.” In
1988, the College appointed me TCM lecturer . I co-authored books and
published many articles in TCM journals.
In 1991, I received an M.A. degree in medical history from the
University of Ottawa. My mémoire was on medical missionaries and the
introduction of modern surgery to China;. In August 2000, I completed a
Ph.D. thesis on the history of traditional Chinese medicine in Canada.
While pursuing my studies, I maintained my practice because I believe
that practice is the core of TCM. This should be true even for TCM
scholars and researchers. Otherwise, his (or her) work will have no
life. As a healer, scholar and teacher, I shamelessly
believe myself to be one of the best TCM practitioners in the Western world.
