Welcome to Le Shiatsu’s web site! I hope you are enjoying browsing these pages.
I founded Le Shiatsu in 2006, in order to provide holistic health services to our community.
My focus is to help people take charge of their health and wellness. I have a special interest for challenging conditions with lingering symptoms & pain, and where people are at a loss to address the root cause of their problem. Shiatsu and Acupuncture are based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and offer a model to understand the uniqueness of someone’s health imbalance and address its root cause.
After 15 exciting years as a Biomedical Engineer working with global medical technology vendors, I sought ways to be involved in my community with a direct human touch. When an introduction to Shiatsu, a manual Chi-based therapy, was given to my Tai-Chi group, it just felt right!
I went for a 101 Shiatsu course, and then enrolled for the two-year program of the Shiatsu School of Canada in Toronto. After over a year of Shiatsu practice, I went for the acupuncture program of my school, and have recently added acupuncture to my treatment options. I still have a small contribution in medical technology innovation, spending a few hours a week with a start-up company developing Electronic Health Record (EHR) solutions – www.karoshealth.com. Eventually, I envision an integrated healthcare system where the best of Western and complementary medicines are offered to patients and where their EHR is shared by health professionals from all traditions in an integrated way.
Bonne journée, et bonne santé!
