Shawn is a Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner (R. TCMP) and Acupuncturist (R. Ac) since 2019. After completing his Bachelor of Science degree at McGill University, his interest in East Asian medicine led him to study Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) at Toronto School of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCTCM). At TSTCM, he completed the Advanced TCM program, which is the equivalent of a Doctorate Degree Program in Oriental Medicine in the United States. He is one of very few practitioners from Ontario who wrote and successfully passed Dr. TCM exam in British Columbia.

Shawn uses a combination of many different TCM modalities such as acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, scrapping, Tuina massage, and Chinese herbal medicine for his treatment. His training and experience allow him to treat a wide range of conditions, such as pain, sports injuries, neuromuscular disorder, digestive problems, reproductive health, and more.

Outside of being a healthcare provider, Shawn has been practicing Kendo, a Japanese martial art, since 2003. He was one of national representatives for Canada during the 2018 World Kendo Championship and continues to attend competitions and train younger martial artists.
