CTCMA is an official professional licensing authority established in 1996 by the Government of British Columbia, Canada to regulate the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture in the Province. With a history of 2000 to 3000 years, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has formed a unique system to diagnose and cure illness. The TCM approach is fundamentally different from that of Western medicine. In TCM, the understanding of the human body is based on the holistic understanding of the universe as described in Daoism, and the treatment of illness is based primarily on the diagnosis and differentiation of syndromes.
Chinese Herbal MedicineAbout AcupunctureAcupuncture started in East Asia about 3000 years ago, and is the most well-known modality of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). It consists of the insertion of fine needles into the body at specific points shown to be effective in the treatment of specific health problems. Acupuncture needles are typically not much thicker than a hair, and their insertion is practically painless. Recently, NIH, WHO and FDA approved the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture treatment, especially for pain management, cosmetic purpose, weight loss and infertility. Depending on the patient's symptom, methods of acupuncture can be selected from general acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, laser-acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and tuina massage (Chinese massage).
Modern medicine has excelled in the fields of infectious disease and emergencies in the last 100 years. Although, in the treatments of chronic and degenerative diseases, it is mostly control that it aims for, which is another name for palliation. Conventional drugs, surgery and radiation do little to reverse the disease. These options slow the progression, sometimes with very little benefit, and too often at a great cost in quality of life for the patient.

Homeopathy; the natural and effective medicine tailored to your needs which respects your body. Because homeopathy treats the patient as a whole, the homeopath seeks to understand through thorough consultations where the suffering comes from to address it and find the personalized remedy perfectly adapted to the patient.
When arriving at my initial consultation with Isabelle, I did not know what to expect. I had never spoken with a homeopath before. Despite my social anxiety, I felt at ease with Isabelle. She asked me many questions, which helped me describe my life to her. She is non-judgmental and compassionate. I never feel under pressure while talking with Isabelle. I recommend her practice of homeopathy to anyone looking for an alternative therapy.Read more
