Grace Cho
Dr. TCM, Acupuncturist
I am a former BC Registered Acupuncturist, and currently registered in AB. Many people I met here ask me what brought you to Canada. Although I can’t certainly answer to that question, I believe I felt the energy flow leading me to Canada to meet you.
At one time in Korea, I was fascinated by Yoga and Meditation. As I practice Yoga and meditation deeper and deeper, I realized that there is something more beyond our physical senses. It brought me a huge turning point in my life.
I am working not only for the pain syndrome but also internal/mental illness. Such as stress, depression, anxiety, skin problem, women’s wellness problem, digestive problem, Bell’s palsy, weight loss, and etc.
My goal is to make a balance within and between the body, mind, and spirit of clients.
