Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine
When Calvin was in his early 20s, he was introduced to the wonders of Chinese medicine as an international athlete. Performing at a high level was hard on the body and mind alike. As such, Chinese medicine and acupuncture became a staple in his life to treat joint pain, stress, insomnia and headaches. As time passed, competitions faded, and a desire to understand human health took root. Through the 2000s to present, Calvin has gained substantial education to treat mobility issues such as headaches, stiff necks, frozen shoulders, aching backs and muscular pain.
At one point in his career, he worked predominantly with the elderly and gained a unique perspective on treating aging mobility diseases such as osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Although Calvin has enjoyed serving the public in treating mobility issues, he has had other focuses over his 20-year career in conditions around fertility, insomnia, and digestive problems.
Calvin has had a very deep and broad Chinese medicine education. This is reflected in his treatment presentations that usually consist of acupressure (finger pressure and massage techniques), medicinal ointments, hot towel applications, acupuncture, cupping, and the dispensing of Chinese medicinals.
With these healing modalities combined, treatments come across to patients as ‘spa-like’. This realization helps to affirm Calvin’s healing philosophy of “Healing should be a pleasant experience, not more trauma”. Dr. Calvin also specializes in women’s health, including treating perimenopause and menopause symptoms to help women move through life with greater ease, balance, and vitality.
