Nicole is a licensed acupuncturist with a deep, lifelong connection to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Growing up in China, Nicole was immersed in TCM as an integral part of daily life, fostering a profound respect for its holistic approach to health and wellness. This early exposure to the healing power of acupuncture and TCM sparked a passion that led Nicole to pursue formal training, becoming both a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist.

Drawing from the time-honoured principles of TCM, Nicole is dedicated to offering personalized acupuncture care to support a range of health concerns, including chronic pain, stress, anxiety, and digestive issues, insomnia.

Mt Pleasant local’s tip: My favourite local tip for Mt. Pleasant includes picking up delicious croissants from Small Victory, enjoying a soothing Hojicha from Whisk Matcha Café, and grabbing ‘The Henry’ at Budgie, a fantastic vegetarian burrito spot. For groceries, I love stopping by Kim’s Mart for fresh finds. And to top it off, I always enjoy a peaceful evening stroll along False Creek to unwind and take in the views!
Top self-care tip: I believe it’s essential to regularly check in with my body and ask myself important questions: Does my body need rest? How have I been nourishing myself, and is it serving me well? How did my body respond to that choice last time? Our bodies communicate with us more than we realize, often offering valuable insights into what we truly need. My top self-care tip is to take the time to listen to those signals, understand my body’s needs, and respond with the care it deserves.
Why Therapy Health Studio? I chose Therapy Health Studio for its friendly, welcoming environment and calming atmosphere, which aligns with my holistic healing approach. The space fosters peace and warmth, allowing clients to unwind and feel supported.
Working here feels like being part of a nurturing community, where both clients and practitioners are valued. I aim to create a tranquil space where clients can relax, release stress, and feel cared for physically and emotionally.
