Herbal Medicine + Zen Shiatsu + Acupuncture

I resonate strongly with both of my names, and use them interchangeably.

T’agyol is my Dharma name, which I received when I took Buddhist Precepts in the Korean Zen tradition. It means “Harmonizing of Opposites and Conflict Resolution”.

The closest subway stations are Dupont, Christie, and Ossington.

It is a 10-15 minute walk from each of these stations to the clinic, and there are frequent buses you can catch.

Yes. My gentle approach does not compromise the quality or effectiveness of acupuncture treatment, and actually enhances it.

By focusing on gentleness and a “less is more” philosophy, I can create a more comfortable and relaxing experience for my client. This reduces the potential for discomfort during the treatment, making it easier for the client to remain relaxed and receptive to the therapeutic effects. A gentler approach often allows the body to respond more naturally and positively, promoting a smoother flow of energy, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the treatment.

I more frequently administer acupuncture to treat specific ailments as opposed to general health maintenance, however this is not a hard and fast rule.

Many of my clients keep monthly or bi-monthly acupuncture appointments as a component of proactively managing their health.

There is street parking along Dupont St, as well as on Shaw St (perpendicular to Dupont) and also Melville Ave (just south of Dupont).

You can find a map on the Clinic Location page.

Practitioners of traditional East Asian medicine (TEAM) view the body as a unified and connected whole, utilizing different world views that include Ki / Qi, Yin and Yang, and meridians.

TEAM practitioners, like myself, acknowledge and understand that a) there are other approaches to health and healing that developed prior to modern/Western medical understanding, and b) that these approaches were and are still effective and relevant.
