I C U P P I N G . I love Chinese Medicine! Its ancient wisdom is one of the things that helps connect me to an ancestral force that was otherwise disconnected for me having been born and raised in Vancouver. Well-- my mama's cooking helps connect me too! . Acupuncture and Cupping are just two modalities under the umbrella of Traditional Chinese Medicine that dates back thousands of years.... . Cupping therapy is a myofascial release method that relieves pain, loosens tight muscles, promotes circulation, stimulates the lymphatic /immune systems, and a great tool to sedate the nervous system to help you sleep better. On top of these benefits, cupping also is used for promoting better metabolism and for minimizing cellulite. . Marks may come up depending on your constitution and will typically fade within 3-7 days. The darker the mark, the poorer the circulation. The idea is that the more regular you get Acupuncture and cupping done (say once a week for the first few sessions) then the lighter the marks will become as the circulation improves. Some people have asked me if cupping hurts. Cupping does NOT hurt! It is like a negative pressured massage and extremely relaxing. . . Cupping can be used alone or in combination with tuina (acupressure) and/ or Acupuncture. . Interested in booking a session with me @iasportsclinic ? Click on the link in my bio or email me at: [email protected] . Direct billing is available. Use up those benefits before the end of 2020!

S O U L S I N G I N G . Allow me to reintroduce myself to those who are new to my Instagram page. . My name is Judy Chee. I am a Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner, acupuncturist and certified sound healer. I acknowledge that I live and work on the Unceded Musqueam, Squamish, and Tseil-Waututh territories (AKA Vancouver).... . I have been practicing Chinese medicine for 4 years (today is my work anniversary with @iasportsclinic in fact!). Prior to getting into Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture, I was a music educator. I am a classically trained pianist, and have played and studied the beautiful instrument for 30 years. I also play the ukulele and banjo and hopefully before I die, I will play the cello that I have in storage! For as long as I went to TCM school, I always had the desire to do sound therapy training to combine into my practice. Last year in June of 2019, I decided at the last second to fly to Toronto to do a certificate in Sound Therapy at the Institute of Traditional Medicine. It changed my meditation practice. It changed my being. I met incredible humans from across the country. It gives me great pleasure to get to combine my two loves of music and Traditional Chinese Medicine to help people. . When I am not working or playing music, Im off hiking up mountains by myself or with loved ones. I find being in nature the greatest meditation practice of all. I also love traveling (when we could travel!) And I am meant someday to go to Nepal to do a 3 week trek and more sound therapy training with a guru in Kathmandu. Someday.

G U A S H A . In both Mandarin and Cantonese, "gua" means "to scrape" and "sha" loosely translates to "sand" and refers to the sand-like bruises created by the treatment. Facial Gua Sha however, uses a much gentler technique and will create circulation and a bit of redness to the face but never leave bruises. . A practitioner uses a Gua Sha massage tool to scrape the surface of the skin with long and short strokes to stimulate microcirculation of the soft tissue, loo...sens the superficial fascia and lymph, increases blood flow and therefore stops pain. The practitioner applies massage oil to the skin and repeatedly scrapes the skin until "sha" comes up on the skin. This treatment is painless and marks from treatment typically fades aways anywhere from 3-7 days. . The benefits of Gua Sha: Anti-inflammatory and provides pain relief. Anti-aging: a much gentler pressure is used on the face to reduce puffiness, fine lines and wrinkles, plumps up and tightens the skin. Stimulation of immune system therefore speeding up its natural healing process. Needle free, so Gua Sha is common for pediatric treatment. . @west.coast.femme . . . . . #guasha #facialguasha #doyouguasha #iloveguasha #guashafacial #guashatherapy #facialrejuvenation #cosmeticacupuncture #cosmeticfacialrejuvenation #acupuncture #acupuncturist #licensedacupuncturist #tcm #traditionalchinesemedicine #cupping #tcmfacialguasha #massage #massagetool #judycheeacupuncture #movethatchee See more

Inspired by the ancient teachings of Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is a natural way to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or slow down the process of aging. Facial rejuvenation acupuncture is both a preventative and corrective treatment meaning you can start at any age. . . Fine needles are placed in common acupuncture points to stimulate blood circulation and call up collagen and elastin to the surface of the skin. After needling I follow up with @meizenskincare facial products, followed by a gentle face massage. This treatment not only improves quality of the skin but my patients report improvements in sleep, stress levels, digestion, and more, simply because of an emphasis to treat the whole system. . . Other benefits include: Reduction in puffiness and brightening the eyes. Relieves muscle tension in the face and jaw Acne and rosacea Dry skin and sun damaged skin Bells palsy Post stroke sequelae . . This treatment is not suitable for people with seizure disorders, hypertension, diabetes and cancer. Also not suited for folk who are pregnant. These cases would benefit from regular TCM acupuncture treatments however. . . . Curious about Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture? Want to learn more?

YO, MICROPHONE CHECK ONE TWO, WHAT IS THIS? . . (No, seriously, listen with sound on. Better yet, with headphones for a lovely binaural effect!). .... . I know Ive been posting a lot of sound stuff lately. Its just something thats new and exciting and something Ive always wanted to add to my healing practice. Testing and checking the volumes with my quartz crystal singing bowls in the soon-to-be sound room as Ila, owner of @thujawellness called it. . . Sound therapy is basically vibrational medicine and a reset button for your body, mind, and soul. . . Offering private sound sessions soon, and acupuncture (or needle-less) + tuning fork combo sessions @thujawellness ! More information to come in February! . . . . . #soundtherapy #soundtherapist #meditation #restanddigest #parasympathetic #acupuncture #tcm #traditionalchinesemedicine #fairviewacupuncture #fertilityhealth #womenshealth #pregnancyacupuncture #movethatchee #calmthatchee #bestacunap See more

Up, Down, UP! . . I thought to test my endurance today for my upcoming Nepal trip and see how many round trips would happen on any regular hike. With a late start at 12:24pm and sunset at 4:45pm, I managed 1.5 round trips of BCMC trail up grouse mountain today. Phew! My goal will be to do 3 round trips over the next 2.5 months. .... . Something that I learned by doing this hike today. Its one thing to do an 8-9 hour day hike going up and down one summit. But to go Up Down and Up the same mountain again definitely took a lot of psychological power to get through the 2nd round! "I think I can, I KNOW I can!" Was definitely the mantra for round 2. . . Something else I noticed today was how much stronger I feel in my performance. And I have @thrivewithanthony to thank for helping me get set up with an exercise program and for giving me good basic nutritional guidelines for a quick recovery. . . . . . #acupuncturistswhohike #womenwhohike #hiking #winterhike #trainingfornepal #training #endurance #snow #nature #mountains #bluesky #nikon #nikond300 #judycheephotography #landscapephotography #movethatchee See more

GO SHAWTY! IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY! WE GONNA PARTY LIKE IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY! . 36 trips around the sun today In recent years, I reflect on my year on my birthday and I thought I'd take this opportunity to say hi and introduce myself to those that are new to my Instagram page. .... My name is Judy Chee. I was born in Vancouver and acknowledge that I live and practice Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture on the ancestral lands of the Coast Salish peoplesSwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:l and Slilwta/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) and xmkym (Musqueam) Nations. . I am a classically trained pianist. I first attended jazz music school 16 years ago. I couldn't improvise for the life of me but I made life long friends. I love all genres of music, especially hip hop and grime. . In my 35th year, I completed a Sound Therapy Certificate Program @itmworld in Toronto and now facilitate sound meditations (DM me for collaborations). I started banjo lessons and it's a good laugh. I have a gym routine. I hiked a lot of mountains as I will hike a 3 week trek in the Everest region in 3 months. I will also further my sound therapy training in Kathmandu and study with a guru there. I quit music teaching (I taught for 13 years) as I felt it was time to focus solely on my career in healthcare. I got my weekends off for the first time in 8 years. I saw a lot of music gigs (mainly friends' shows). I went through a couple of bouts of deep depression and came out stronger thanks to the support from loved ones. I strengthened my boundaries. Let go of what no longer served me. I formed new friendships and strengthened old ones. I saw my best friend @stephpedraza marry her best friend. My BFF Naomi opened up her vegan ice cream storefront @sayhellosweets and my bestie @theamyelderkin had her baby girl! What a glorious year! I am so grateful to those that shared it with me. Thank you times 1000. Here's to making many more memories in 2020! All my love.

SOUNDS GOOD! . Short story time - read on to learn a part of my soul.... "Oh! Your background is in music? Thats great! Remember where you come from because thats what makes you unique." One of the newer CTCMA board members said to me during my first year in TCM school 8 years ago (it was Dr. Gao ). And these words just stuck with me for many years as we all slogged thru school. .... This is when Tibetan singing bowl therapy in Nepal first became a seedling in my mind 8 years ago as I scoured Google for teachers. Fast forward to June 2019 and Oct 2019, I last minute decided to fly back and forth to Toronto to participate in sound meditation workshops to start with before my trip to Nepal (in less than 3 months) and finished with my heart cracked wide open. . . What is sound meditation / sound therapy, you ask? Well, sound meditation makes use of vibrational instruments to create binaural beats that are said to change our brain waves. Sound meditation takes us out of "fight-or-flight" sympathetic response and puts us back into "rest-and-digest" parasympathetic mode. So it is a modality to relieve stress, anxiety, depression, lower blood pressure, and even help with chronic pain. . . I am happy to offer sound therapy as a modality now in both my clinics in private sessions, I am working on organizing group sound baths, and I am excited to announce some future collaborations with beautiful souls in the community. So stay tuned for event announcements. . . These tuning forks are but a few of my instruments that I use alone with other instruments or in combination with Acupuncture / acupressure sessions.

PLAYING WITH FIRE . . If I see it suits a patient's needs during their session, I often include cupping therapy before or after Acupuncture. I love the ancient traditional method of creating the suction with the element of fire. .... . Cupping therapy is a myofascial release method that relieves pain, loosens tight muscles, promotes circulation, stimulates the lymphatic /immune systems (good for early stage common colds), and a great tool to sedate the nervous system to help you sleep better. On top of these benefits, cupping also is used for promoting better metabolism and for minimizing cellulite. . . You may have seen cupping marks on celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Lady Gaga, athlete Michael Phelps, and maybe your neighbor at the gym. These marks will come up in different colours depending on your constitution and will typically fade in 3-7 days. The darker the mark, the poorer the circulation. The idea is that the more regular you get Acupuncture and cupping done (say once a week for the first few sessions) then the lighter the marks will become as the circulation improves. Some people have asked me if cupping hurts. Cupping does NOT hurt! It is like a negative pressured massage and extremely relaxing. . . Are you curious about cupping? Have some benefits to use up for 2019? Book today @thujawellness and @iasportsclinic .

That is my wish to you (and a reminder for me) this 2020. Youve made it through 2019! Youve got this! And everything will be okay.
