Throughout, Chinese Medicine serves as a cornerstone, harmonizing the body-mind-spirit connection to restore balance and well-being
Ethan understands the uniqueness of each individual's health and needs, and so tailors every treatment to cater specifically to them. While he acknowledges that not all clients may be interested in the intricacies of (TCM), Ethan takes pleasure in explaining the process to his clients. He believes that since it is their body and health being treated, providing explanations from the TCM perspective about their underlying disharmonies and how we plan to support them through needling, cupping, or moxibustion etc, and recommendations for self-care post-treatment, is essential.

A note from Ethan…
You may have read that other paragraph I wrote, talking about not judging clients and thought “yeah right, it’s only natural to judge" or perhaps “that’s not possible to not be in judgement of others”. Well i’m here to say that not judging is one of the most freeing experiences. But it takes hard work and consistent monitoring of our thinking & self talk. Don’t get me wrong, I think we will always have judgements come up automatically in some form or another, but we don’t have to go along with it. That’s the key. We can stop judgment in its tracks as soon at it presents! and then it doesn’t cause any harm to self or other, because we have not energised it. And by not going along with it, nor judging ourselves for having the judgement, we then get the opportunity to let go of that judgement.
