(Anna) Fang Zhao

Dr. Zhao graduated from the University of British Columbia with a Master's Degree. She is a registered Doctor of TCM, and a registered Acupuncturist in British Columbia, Canada. She apprenticed with Fengfeng, a famous Buddhist practitioner; Sun Chulin, a well-known Somatic Science Master; and Dr. Shusheng Tai. Dr. Zhao is dedicated to discovering the inner connection between the body, mind and disease. She works to unblock the energy of mind and body by combining Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), psychology, qigong, and meditation. Besides her experience treating physical pain and injuries, Dr. Zhao had special training in TCM ophthalmology and treatment of complex diseases including cancer and other internal medical issues. She has a strong passion to treat emotional issues, as well as challenging health issues such as eye problems, chronic fatigue, radiation/chemotherapy-induced syndrome, digestive disorders, autoimmune disorders, endocrine disorders, skin conditions, diabetes, and vascular diseases. Dr. Zhao strongly believes that the power of mind plays a huge role in our healing, and that acupuncture does much more than providing relief for physical pain. For certain medical cases, Dr. Zhao even does treatments without needles; instead, she uses qigong (medical meditation), energy, acupressure massage, and herbs etc., to achieve the healing effect. This flexibility in approach expands her clientele beyond adults to include children, teenagers and seniors. Dr. Zhao studied in Malaysia under the world-renowned TCM Ophthalmologist Dr. Cheah Ah Kow (Dr. Xie Qi), becoming well versed in Deep-Needle Eye Therapy. In addition to practicing medicine, Dr. Zhao continues writing and has published some spiritual novels and poetry collections.
