Meet Shirly, a dedicated practitioner with a lifelong passion for Traditional Chinese Medicine. Growing up in a household immersed in TCM, she was inspired to use her hands to help others feel more balanced and comfortable in their daily lives. She pursued this calling by graduating from a respected medical school in China and gaining 15 years of clinical experience.
Upon moving to Vancouver, Shirly was drawn to the city’s calm surroundings and welcoming community, making it her new home. Since 2014, she has been serving the North Shore as a registered acupuncturist and TCM practitioner, offering personalized care designed to meet each individual’s needs.
In addition to her clinical work, Shirly has been a part-time lecturer for the Vacc College acupuncture program since 2014, sharing her knowledge and helping to train the next generation of practitioners in the Greater Vancouver area.
Shirly’s goal is to continue contributing to the North Vancouver community with her expertise and compassionate approach.
