Other areas he has experience in treating include: sports injuries, allergies, sleeping disorders, stress, digestive issues, fertility, stroke rehab, and facial rejuvenation.

Living abroad (Toronto, Taiwan, China) learning about western and eastern medicine from some of the best practitioners has given him a strong background to treat his patients with various techniques (Acupuncture, Herbs, Cupping, Guasha, Tuina).

In addition to English he also speaks Mandarin fluently.

I am Vincente Mascarenas, a Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner (Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine).

Every individual is unique and complicated, so too is their health, I believe in looking at the body as a whole; mind, body, spirit and environment. So as to encourage a natural healing process, that we may treat the root of problems and not only suppress the symptoms.

I have lived in USA, Mongolia, Japan and Canada where I studied various forms of holistic and traditional medicine acquiring broad knowledge and experience in Traditional Oriental Medicine, nutrition, fitness, qi-gong, western herbalism, massage, and life-balance therapy. I am a compassionate practitioner who integrates all the tools at my disposal including:

• Acupuncture
• Electro-acupuncture
• Cupping
• Gua sha
• Moxibustion
• Tiuna massage
• Herbal medicine
• Nutritional counseling
• Aromatherapy

I believe there are many useful forms of medicine, and no style can cure everything but if we work together in the health profession, we can help many people.

I enjoy hiking, martial arts, healthy cooking, listening to music, and writing books.

I also teach children martial arts and volunteer for the environment.

As a practitioner I am able to address a variety of health concerns:

• Chronic and Acute Pain
• Sports Injuries
• Cold and Flu
• Headaches
• Acne
• Digestive Issues
• Stress Management
• Menstruation Pain & Regulation
• General Health and Vitality Maintenance
