About Anna
Dr. Anna Zhao is a registered Acupuncturist, a registered TCMP (Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner), and a doctor of TCM. She uses Traditional healing methods, such as tuina, acupuncture, herbs and Qigong to treat patients. She studied in Malaysia, under the guidance of Dr. Xie Qi (a world renowned TCM Ophthalmologist), where she learned Deep Needle Eye Therapy to treat a wide range of eye conditions including macular degeneration, glaucoma, eye floaters, dry eyes, cataracts and much more.
Besides ophthalmology, Dr. Anna Zhao has a keen interest in internal medicine, such as digestive, respiratory, gynecological, skin diseases, migraines, diabetes, hypertension syndrome, sleep disorders, emotional conditions, pain management and cancer. She also deals with trauma-related complaints including acute injury with swelling, acute soft-tear injuries, muscle strain, wounds, and chronic pain following trauma. Non-traumatic pain conditions will include arthritis, lower back pain, sciatic pain, knee pain, and neck pain. While Dr. Zhao strongly believes that it is necessary to treat symptoms, it is even more important to boost the immune system and help eradicate the roots of the problem.
Following an overview of the etiology and pathophysiology of the various conditions, Dr. Zhao often combines acupuncture, herbs, and Qigong as part of the overall treatment. All these methods are meant to address imbalances inside the body, with the overall goal of opening up blocked energy and helping balance out meridians.
For chronic conditions, the patient usually gets treatment once or twice per week until they see sufficient results.
For patients afraid of needles, Dr. Zhao uses a variety of non-invasive techniques, such as Acupressure, Tuina (a Chinese form of Massage), Qigong (a Chinese form of meditation and yoga), Cupping, ear seeds(based on reflexology), and heat herbal compresses to promote the flow of blood and energy. She is also experienced in pediatrics, having worked with children for many years in the past.
Dr. Zhao believes that external treatments aid people in their healing, but real healing takes place within oneself. If employed wisely and constructively, our mental force can play a significant role in our healing and therefore the healing process can be dramatically shortened. That is why Dr. Zhao followed some famous masters, and learned Qigong and some regenerative therapies for treating complicated diseases. Her objective is that through the addition of these creative therapeutic methods, she helps you learn to tap your own healing potential, until you ultimately discover harmony in life, and reach the balanced state between yin and yang that is often referred to in traditional Chinese medicine.
Dr. Zhao is also a published writer; over the last ten years, under the penname Kongyin, two of her spiritual juvenile fictions (Gooby and the Dream-walker and Sun Grass) were published in South Africa. Much of her poetry on healing, in a variety of languages, was published in China and Canada. She had her own poetry column in two Chinese newspapers: Vancouver Weekly and Toronto Weekly.
Whether you are seeking health, a life purpose, a breaking-away from old habits, or a better understanding of who you are, Dr. Zhao will be here for you in a most caring, empathetic, and supportive way.
