Erica is an R.TCM.P (Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner). She graduated with distinction from a five-year Doctorate program in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Kootenay Columbia College of Integrative Health Sciences (KCCIHS) in 2019, after completing her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Mount Royal University in 2012.
Her passion for Chinese Medicine developed from her own experiences with various autoimmune diseases, relentlessly trying to find various ways to mitigate her symptoms through a more holistic approach. Through her own experience of having a long-standing illness, she has a special interest in working with individuals with autoimmune diseases, by working to find the root cause for each individual.
Erica sees health as a constantly changing and dynamic process that allows one to adapt to life’s ever challenging times. By listening and observing the body, one can uncover the underlying patterns and factors that may be blocking an individual’s innate capacity to heal. This intrinsic ability to heal can be accomplished through methods such as Chinese herbal medicine, nutritional counseling, Nei Gong practices and exercise.
