Luke Lin

Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner (R.TCM.P)
Registered Acupuncturist (R.Ac)

Luke Lin has been practicing TCM for more than 15 years and has been a registrant of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of B.C. (CTCMA) since 2008. He holds a Ph.D Degree of TCM from China and is skilled in acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and tuina therapy (Chinese massage). He also worked as rehabilitation doctor in Taiwan.

He has expertise in the treatment of neurologic diseases, psychosomatic disorders and pain control, and has experienced success working with “difficult to treat” disorders such as stroke, post-traumatic pain syndrome, insomnia, neurosis, and macular degeneration.

Since a better prognosis is attained when utilizing both conventional Western medicine and Traditional Chinese medicine, Luke believes the medicine of the future will rely on careful consideration of the patient’s condition with this integrated approach.

Lancy Cho
Registered Acupuncturist (R.Ac)

 

Lancy is a Canadian born Chinese who is fluent in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. She grew up on Vancouver Island where she attended the University of Victoria. At UVIC she studied psychology as well as Chinese culture and Literature.

When asked why she is pursuing a career in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) instead of furthering her studies in Psychology or Chinese literature. She replied the she believes that TCM is the best integration of psychology, culture and medicine because a patient’s emotions are considered major internal causes of disease in TCM, while ancient medical texts reveal cultural lifestyles, habits and beliefs.

With her background in psychology, she has a keen interest in treating patients with insomnia, stress, anxiety, addictions and other psychological disorders. In the mean time she is studying at PCU College of Holistic to become Dr. TCM. She will also be finishing her degree shortly at UVIC with a Bachelor of Arts, and pursing to achieve a Bachelor of Health Sciences.

Lancy believes that TCM and conventional Western medicine can work hand in hand to bring about a healthcare system where patients get the most effective treatment.
