Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, panic disorders, past trauma, addiction and also experiencing physical symptoms such as pain, low energy, digestion issues, insomnia and sexual dysfunction?
Are you going through life transitions and feeling stressed, exhausted and lost?
Are you searching for better physical and mental health, a life with vitality and meaning?
Probably like many others, you have been wanting to make changes to your life, but feel blocked and stuck. So you have been waiting for that blocked feeling to go away before you can start really living. It is so easy to get lost in the problems and figuring out the solutions while your life passes by. I help you to free up that energy that is so wrapped up in the “problem” so that your body can function optimally and you are able to start living your life right now. As a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and a registered clinical counsellor, it is my passion to help you get on the path for better physical and mental health to live a life with vitality.

“I had spent years with stomachaches and daily vomiting. Dr. Judy connected my constant stomach issues with an underlining anxiety that I had been experiencing since childhood. Once that connection was established, I have been able to find relief from the constant upset stomach and daily vomiting. I no longer take any medication for my stomach issues and have learned techniques to manage my anxiety. My sessions with Dr. Judy have greatly improved my quality of life..
