Cole is a licensed Practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He studied at Tzu Chi International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Vancouver.

Cole’s mission is to spread the magic of TCM to help people feel empowered to heal.

Cole was born in a small town in Alberta called Taber. He became interested in acupuncture at 18 after seeing it help his Mother’s anxiety. He was inspired so much by his own experiences with acupuncture that he decided to switch jobs, cities and studies to pursue his destiny and become a TCM Practitioner himself.

Cole’s practice includes Acupuncture, Herbology, Cupping and Tui Na (Chinese Massage). Cole has a very hands on approach and loves to use massage to calm the nervous system and deepen his understanding of what the body is holding. He’s excited to incorporate the hydrostones in to his treatments and dive in to facial acupuncture using the skin and the face as a diagnostic tool for bringing inner balance. Helping clients balance their nervous systems to decrease stress and pain and improve their quality of life is very rewarding to Cole. He has made it his goal to pass along the knowledge of the ancients of TCM and open the minds of his patients to a different way of medicine.

Cole has seen benefits for people who suffer from skin problems, menstruation issues, digestive problems, mental disorders, insomnia, arthritis, and anxiety. He is driven by the idea of helping people in a dark place and helping them see the light again.

In his spare time Cole loves to dance and go for hikes. He also loves sports, both playing and watching. He always feels best around running water and mountains. If he is not working, he can be found in nature exploring the beauty of Earth.

Currently, he is working on his energetic skills and getting connected with the practice of Reiki. Cole incorporates energy and crystal healing in to his treatments if his clients are open to enhancing their treatment in this way.

I’m Lina, a new Acupuncturist at A Balanced Body. I have a profound and keen interest in human nature and our collective well-being. I hold a Bachelor of Arts Degree from McGill University, and a Diploma of Acupuncture from Pacific Rim College.

My journey towards holistic healing led me to explore the ancient wisdom of yoga in India, where I immersed myself in yogic studies at the renowned Sivananda Ashram. Today, my passion for yoga continues to inspire me as I teach and practice daily at Lab Studios, recognizing the body as both a temple and a vessel for self-discovery.

I became a Registered Acupuncturist in October 2023. I am trained in both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Elements acupuncture. My expertise extends to Cosmetic Acupuncture and Myofascial Release, empowering you to address both aesthetic and functional concerns.

I have a keen interest in sports medicine. I specialize in treating acute and chronic injuries, to ensure a swift and effective recovery. My experience also encompasses emotional dysregulation, stress, anxiety, sleep conditions, and digestive concerns. I employ additional modalities including Cupping, Gua Sha, Tui Na Massage, and Diet Therapy, and tailor treatments to meet your unique needs.

In my practice, I believe that your body speaks magnitudes, telling a story of your physical and emotional well-being. My mission is to help you tune in to yourself, guiding you to listen and respond to your body’s needs. With a deep interest in the intricate connection between the mind and body, I approach healing from the inside out, understanding that mental states manifest in the physical form.

I believe Acupuncture is a profound method for introducing space and softness into your being when everything else feels like “too much”. When you give yourself the opportunity to pause and breathe, you uncover your inner strength.
