Who we are.
What Does an Acupuncturist Do? |
Ethan practices Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. In his practice, Ethan makes use of acupuncture & moxibustion, tuina massage, cupping, auricular therapy and Chinese herbs. CranioSacral therapy, traditional Thai massage, qigong therapy and exercise therapy are also incorporated into his treatments, according to the needs of the individual. Ethan does a lot of work with his hands and his approach is to try to effect change in the gentlest, least invasive way possible. So, often he does not resort to the use of acupuncture needles at all. Ethan's studies began in 1996 with a formal apprenticeship in Traditional Chinese Medicine with Dr.Vincent Black, L.Ac., OMD. This three year program emphasised clinical experience, as well as structured and intensive training in qigong and Chinese internal martial arts (Ba gu zhang, Hsing-I chuan and Tai chi chuan). In 2001, Ethan gained full registration through the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of British Columbia (http://www.ctcma.bc.ca). To augment this education, Ethan travelled to various hospitals in Beijing, experiencing a large institutional clinical setting and studying acupuncture, tuina massage and Chinese herbs with the China Beijing International Acupuncture Training Centre. Likewise, in 2002, he went to Thailand to study traditional Thai massage at the Wat Po Medical Massage School in Bangkok and ITM in Chiangmai. Ethan is a certified instructor of Chinese internal martial arts with the North American Tang Shou Tou Association (NATSTA), a group dedicated to the study and preservation of Asian physical culture. He has travelled all over the continent as a NATSTA representative, teaching seminars in medicine, qigong and martial arts.
