Using the skills, tools, and knowledge of TCM along with my experience of twenty years in nursing, my interest is in helping individuals remain as independent as possible. When personal practice of exercise, nutrition, and stress-management aren’t doing the trick, or if/when life deals an unexpected blow, my intention is to help people regain their independence and get back on track with their life pursuits and interests.

I treat physical organ systems and tissues, as well as mental & emotional issues.

Acute conditions should improve within 1 to 3 visits.

Chronic conditions should produce beneficial change within 1 to 5 visits and may require regular follow-ups, depending on the circumstances.

My main tools & techniques are:

• Acupuncture & Herbals

• Massage & Cupping

• QiGong Classes & Seminars

Career Snapshot:

• Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner (2012 to Current)

• Nursing: Neuro/Ortho/Gastro/ER/OR/ICU/Mental/Rural (2002 to 2022)

• MachineShop Moldmaker Certified (1998 to 2003)

Martin Daignault

Martin has been practicing kinesiology for the past 11 years. After obtaining his kinesiology degree from the University of Montreal, he started working with athletes in a high-performance center. Initially, most of his work was with healthy athletes looking to excel in their sport. Gradually, Martin started seeing more clients dealing with physical pain and became very interested in helping people get back to normal physical activity after an injury.

After growing his practice in rehabilitation and pain management, Martin was looking to learn new skills to help his clients and decided to embark on a 5-year journey to learn Osteopathic Manual Therapy at the Canadian College of Osteopathy in Toronto. He was attracted to osteopathy because of the holistic approach and the philosophy that everything in the body is interconnected. Martin sees osteopathy as a way to remove barriers to health & vitality, and kinesiology as a way to increase functionality and general energy. Martin graduated in 2021 after presenting his research project: Osteopathic Manual Therapy’s Contribution in Treating Chronic Back Pain and Chronic Headaches

He firmly believes everyone has a limitless potential that can be unlocked. Key elements such as growth mindset, intrinsic motivation and a good plan are essential. He’s been putting this belief to the test for the past years by competing in endurance events such as Ironman triathlons, 7-day mountain races and over 20 ultra-marathons ranging from 50-160km. Martin has for mission to help others discovering their true potential so they can reach their own Everest.

When not at work, you can find him running in the Sea-to-Sky mountains, reading books on different topics, working out to classic rock music in his backyard or cooking good meals.

Martin is a practicing member of the British Columbia Association of Kinesiologists (BACK) and a practicing member of BC Osteopathy.

As a child, I preferred to memorize the lyrics of the Lion King movie than the multiplication tables. The ‘‘dictée’’ horrified me! However, I wanted to become a teacher. So quite quickly, I was helping my friends with their homework. I saw the usefulness and their pride in understanding. During my university studies in ‘‘special education’’, it was there that I learned how to ‘‘crack the spelling code’’ in French! So today, I show children the learning strategies to succeed.
