Traditional Chinese Medicine has been a part of my life since I was very young.  From my mother and grandmother making me nourishing herbal soups, “leung cha” to clear away heat during those hot summer months, to having awful tasting medicine because I always had bronchitis that just never seemed to have gotten better until I had the miracle medicine. 

My personal journey with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) began after the birth of my second child. At that time, I was experiencing chronic fatigue along with postpartum depression. To make matters worse, I caught a bug that resulted in a debilitating cough, compounding my exhaustion along with many other symptoms to what we now know as “Long Covid”. Feeling completely burnt out, drained and frustrated by the constant responses from doctors that “there’s nothing wrong, all your tests and exams came back normal,” or “it’s normal to feel this way; you have two kids,” I was in search of answers and desperately wanted to feel better so I could care for my family.
