Philippa graduated as a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine in July 2010 from the Canadian Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine and is now practicing at Bodymind Synergy Health Centre alongside her highly respected teachers and mentors. She arrived here via a circuitous route, first earning her Aerospace Engineering Degree from University of Toronto in 1992 and then working in the telecommunications industry for several years before coming to the realization that her heart lay in a different direction. Her interest and passion for the disciplines of the East began with her training in kung fu around this time. This eventually evolved into a desire to understand and practice the healing arts of the Chinese culture as well: their system of medicine. She currently practices Chen style Tai Qi and hopes to return to her kung fu training in the very near future.
Philippa blends her analytical and problem solving skills together with the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine to sincerely help others achieve a healthier, happier and more joyful life. In partnership with her patients, Philippa has employed both acupuncture and Chinese herbs with great success thus far to treat conditions such as back pain, shoulder pain, sciatica, and chronic muscle spasm; various gynecological conditions such as menstrual pain, PMS, ovarian cyst pain, irregular menses, and loss of menses due to uterine trauma; digestive tract conditions such as constipation, nausea and irregular appetite; anxiety, depression, and urinary tract infections. She is very grateful to of all her teachers, patients (also her teachers) and schoolmates who have been part of her journey in learning this extraordinary and time-honored system of medicine over the past six years. She invites all past and new patients to her practice who would like to work with her to achieve their health goals and looks forward to the continuing adventure…
