Pentland Spence DTCM, R.TCM.P , President of the TCMABC Acubalance Wellness Centre Ltd. 250 – 828 West 8th Avenue Vanouver BC V5Z 1E2 Canada 604-678-8600 spence@acubalance.ca With his father being a pharmacist, and his mother a passionate practitioner of energetic healing, Spence seems to have fallen quite naturally into the medical healing arts and sciences. After his studies in horticulture and botany, Spence went on to complete his certification in Western herbology. His healing passions grew with various training and practice in massage, Therapeutic Touch, Emotional Freedom Technique, meditation, and the martial arts. Spiritually he was drawn to the Doaist teachings from the Far East. When he learned of the traditional medical ways of the Chinese, it seemed to fit like a puzzle. “I believe that the wholistic approach of Traditional Chinese Medicine is essential to foster true healing of body mind and spirit. TCM is a worthy reflection of the essence of humankind. It has given me powerful tools which I can use to grow, lead, and succeed in the cultivation of wellness for persons that become a part of my journey.” Spence was handed down the wisdom that without our health our vision in life is not clear, without a clear vision one cannot embrace their mission, and without a mission no person can realize their true meaning and purpose. Meaning and purpose in life establishes mental and emotional harmony. Facilitating health is the path Spence was given to obtain this harmony. Spence received his five year Doctor of TCM education from the International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Vancouver. To complete his studies he spent 500 hours at Anhui Hospital of TCM Hefei City, in the Peoples Republic of China. He is a licensed and registered member of the Canadian Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, is a board member of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association of British Columbia, and practices at Acubalance Wellness Centre where he concentrates his efforts on Men’s health issues. He continues his post-graduate studies in Qigong and the internal arts with Master Shou Yu Liang. *HANS Authorized Provider http://www.acubalance.ca
Lorne Brown B.Sc., CA, Dr.TCM Acubalance Wellness Centre Ltd. 250 – 828 West 8th Avenue Vanouver BC V5Z 1E2 Canada 604-678-8600 lorne@acubalance.ca Dr. Lorne Brown is a registered Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine practicing in Vancouver, British Columbia. Lorne is the clinical director of Acubalance Wellness Centre, a traditional Chinese medical clinical. Lorne’s has focused his practice on treating infertility (including IVF support) and menstrual disorders. In addition, he also effectively administers treatment to “aging athletes & weekend warriors” to resolve their pain issues. Following one of the basic tenets of TCM – “treat the root-cause rather than the branch-symptoms”, Lorne sees the responsibility of the practitioner as identifying the root cause of imbalance, and then addressing it in a context that is conducive to the restoration of each individual’s proper balance. Lorne’s unique treatment philosophy is that no single healing modality successfully treats all conditions or pathologies exclusively for all clients. To successfully facilitate this approach, Lorne has established an extensive network of practitioners with specialties in diverse medical fields and disciplines to provide complete care to his clients, whatever their individual requirements may be. Prior to his TCM training, Lorne graduated from the University of Western Ontario with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and later practiced as a Chartered Accountant (CA). He is currently a registrant in good standing with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of British Columbia. *HANS Authorized Provider. http://www.acubalance.ca
