Lidia Pamies

Ever since Lidia can remember, she has always been exposed to Chinese Medicine. Her mother would always use Chinese herbs over Western medicine to treat common ailments such as colds. Prior to Lidia pursuing a career in Holistic medicine, she was studying Psychology and Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University. Over the duration of her course, she started to suffer from back pain attributed to long periods of sitting and being idle. She began seeing an Acupuncturist and within a few treatments, the back pain started to subside. Inspired by the healing abilities of Acupuncture and recalling the impact of her mother's herbs, she decided to start delving into Traditional Chinese Medicine. Lidia graduated from PCU College of Holistic Medicine where she obtained her diploma in Acupuncture. After graduation, she traveled to Tianjin, China, to intern at the Tianjin Medical University General Hospital. While in China, she studied under the hospital's head doctor furthering her knowledge of TCM. Lidia has a special interest in facial rejuvenation, microneedling, pain management, muscular conditions, stress, gynecological health, and Traditional Chinese Medicine Food Therapy (Shi Liao). She has completed advanced Holistic Buccal Massage training in Vancouver, inspired by the facial sculpting techniques developed by leaders in the field of buccal massage and face sculpting. When she is not busy helping others in the clinic, you might find her thrifting, weight lifting, or curling up with her cat while watching movies. Lidia also speaks fluent Mandarin, Spanish and Catalan.
