I was born in Beijing and grew up in an environment deeply rooted in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
From a young age, my parents envisioned me becoming a TCM doctor. The aroma of Chinese herbs and the rows of drawers at the local pharmacy always fascinated me, carrying an air of mystery.
My mother, an extraordinary woman, played a significant role in shaping my connection to TCM. Whenever I fell ill, she would heal me with her magical cooking. This profound upbringing, along with her influence, inspired me to pursue TCM after earning two bachelor’s degrees—one in China and one in Canada. I later obtained my diploma as a Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner (TCMP) from Pacific Rim College.
I am deeply passionate about acupuncture and dedicated to sharing my knowledge to help others achieve optimal health. I respect each individual’s unique healing journey and am committed to providing personalized care to support my patients. I value TCM’s holistic approach, which considers both external and internal factors in illness, using Yin-Yang theory to
restore balance within the body. The wisdom of ancient TCM classics continues to inspire me, and I strive to integrate this timeless knowledge into my practice.

Before becoming an acupuncturist, I owned a Pilates studio, where I helped clients manage pain, recover from injuries, and reduce stress through movement. I have experience treating a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, depression, insomnia, inflammatory bowel
disease (IBD), arthritis, and more. I believe in the power of combining acupuncture with other TCM modalities, such as cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, diet therapy, exercise, and herbal medicine, to create a comprehensive and effective healing approach.
Outside of my practice, I enjoy spending time in nature, playing with my kitties, and practicing Tai Chi, Qigong, and other mind-body movements. I also find joy in watching the clouds, the ocean, and thought-provoking movies.

Sophia graduated from Sutherland-Chan in Toronto in 2017. She has since worked at clinics in Toronto and BC- in the lower mainland and the Shuswap. She is a recent transplant in Victoria and is enjoying exploring the area and getting to know the community.

Sophia’s treatment style involves treatment from a bio-psycho-social perspective (considering the whole person). The foundation of her treatment perspective is working with the nervous system to cultivate a feeling of safety, deep relaxation and rest, as it is, in her experience, from this place that our bodies tend to heal most effectively. Sophia is continuously learning more about pain science and evidence based practice as an ever evolving field to apply to practice.

Sophia uses a variety of techniques, but tends to treat slowly, using general Swedish techniques, rhythmic movements and compressions, working with the breath and the nervous system of each individual she is working with.

She enjoys working with patients to reduce feelings of pain and improve movement and general feelings of well-being.

Reko is working at Cascadia as an independent contractor and, as such, has set his own rates for his treatments.

He graduated from the College for Massage Therapy in December 2021.
He offers deep and specific pressure to release tension and pain. His approach focuses on myofascial and trigger point release. If you have pain or tension related to chronic stress, injuries, trigger points, restrictions, or muscular imbalances, he aims to find the cause of the pain and release it.
