Biography
Gavin Larsen is a Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner and Acupuncturist (R.Ac., R.TCM.P.) in good standing with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of British Columbia (CTCMA). He completed his Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine Diploma Nelson, BC, in 2014. As a previous instructor at Pacific Rim College in Victoria, BC, Gavin holds value in educating his clients in ways that will be helpful and empowering in achieving their goals. He practices with a broad range of tools built on a strong foundation of classical training, to ensure optimal methods are applied to each client’s unique concerns. Gavin first discovered acupuncture and Chinese Medicine in 2008, and was relieved of his insomnia and childhood eczema in just three months of biweekly sessions. He felt that he was letting go of years of stress held deep in his body, and soon after became inspired to study the medicine and share its miraculous healing potential with his family and community. Gavin provides each client with precise treatment and care that is specially tailored to their condition. He has acquired many methods of treatment, from orthopedic and electro-acupuncture for acute and chronic pain patterns, cosmetic acupuncture and microneedling for the balance of aesthetic and holistic medicine, Five Elements Acupuncture as a system for addressing the psyche, and channel palpation for accurately diagnosing and treating internal ailments. Areas of specialization include pain and postural realignment, gynecological conditions such as painful menstruation or infertility, weight loss and digestive disorders, skin conditions, facial rejuvenation and scar treatment. Modalities include Acupuncture, Electro-Acupuncture, Microneedling, Cupping, Gua Sha (Scraping), Exercise Rehabilitation, Chinese Herbal Medicine and TCM Dietary Therapy. Gavin enjoys cooking and travel, upgrading his knowledge in the health profession, learning languages, taking dance classes, practicing yoga and jogging the seawall.
