Barb Cook

Dr. TCM, R.Ac

Barb is a new addition to the sunshine coast. Having spent most of her life in the Comox Valley, she is chasing the small town vibe and feeling of community.

Barb completed the Doctoral Program of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2003. Her prior careers were in kinesiology and prosthetics. All aspects of her life have revolved around health, fitness, and nature. Mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, and yoga are her main passions.

Being drawn to Traditional Chinese Medicine was based on personal health issues that western medicine was only able to put a band aid on. TCM treats the root cause and underlying issues of the body, mind, and environment. The medicine is based on TCM organ patterns and diagnosis. Everyone is unique. Any condition from anxiety, insomnia, hormones, or pain can be treated using therapies such as acupuncture, custom herbal formulas, tui na (Chinese massage), cupping, and/or gua sha (skin scraping).

Please note that at this time, Barb is not able to direct bill for your appointment. She will give you a receipt upon payment so that you may submit on your behalf.
