Being a licensed pharmacist in Canada since 1989 together with her doctorate of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Acupuncture, she is fulfilling her life-long dream of being a well-integrated practitioner of both Western and Eastern medicine.
Florence was a member of the Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Association of Canada from 2002 to 2017 after completing her study in Manitoba. In order to follow her heart and foster her passion in life, she moved to Calgary to further her study in Chinese Medicine. She obtained a doctorate of TCM & Acupuncture & graduated as the valedictorian of her class. Not only did she receive the Clinical Excellence Award, the Canada Sage Herb Biotechnology scholarship but also the Citizenship Award & the Shen-Nong Scholarship (national) due to her outstanding community involvement.
She continued to advance herself and studied:

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), a system of medicine at least 23 centuries old, aims to prevent diseases or promote healing of diseases by maintaining or restoring yin-yang balance.
There is a flow of vital energy (called qi) throughout the body via certain pathways (meridians & collaterals). If this is blocked, weak or excessive, disease and other emotional, mental & physical health problems develop. Restoring the flow of qi is considered essential to balance the yin & yang and, in turn, achieving good health & wellness.
She has had arthritis since she was 17. Nonetheless, she ran her first half-marathon at age 49 after only running for 3 months and planning to finish her first full marathon at age 60.
She keeps her condition well under control with less frequent & less intense flare-ups by Chinese herbal remedies & acupuncture. She has also gone through a long journey of gastrointestinal disorder with food allergies & 6 years of postpartum depression. Her personal health issues are the strongest driving force to motivate her to make a life-changing decision to become a well-integrated TCM practitioner.
It will truly be an honour for her to be a part of your journey to health and well-being!
