About Our Clinic

Shelly Sawada D.TCM

Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine

My journey with healing and Chinese Medicine began while studying Botany in University. I developed a fascination for Ethnobotany and medicinal plants which eventually led me to discover Chinese Medicine and to become a student of a 5000 year old system of well-being by which I am continually humbled and amazed.
As my exploration into health and well-being deepened, following my graduation from Chinese Medicine College in 1998, I became increasingly curious about the relationship between creativity and health. This led me to a personal study of creativity and the power of creative expression primarily through dance, movement and music.

Chinese Medicine, like other ancient indigenous paths, shows us a way of living that brings us into harmony with ourselves and thus with the world of which we are a part. Through my own personal experience with Traditional Chinese Medicine I have come to deeply appreciate health as a way of living life and the unique and personal way that this unfolds for each individual. My aim as a Chinese Medicine Practitioner is to work together with you to help you return to balance and find your natural healthy expression.
