Michael Cruickshanks

BA, Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine,

Registered Acupuncturist, Certified Bodytalk Practitioner

Michael provides assessment, consultation, and treatment for a range of conditions using Bodytalk, Acupuncture, Herbs, and Qi gong.  He frequently speaks about these treatment modalities in the community.

Michael’s interest in eastern disciplines began with his martial arts practice as a teenager.  After achieving his Black Belt, his development continued with an intensive meditation practice spanning 15 years.  In combination with his formal education, Michael believes that a mindful and compassionate approach with clients is an essential part of the healing process.  Michael’s education in western science and a BA in Psychology integrate well with his passion for energy medicine.  A Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine Diploma has provided a solid foundation for understanding the dynamics within the mind and body.

Michael has seen dramatic changes in his clients’ health since incorporating Bodytalk with his other modalities.  He is a Certified Bodytalk Practitioner and continues to expand his education regarding the deeper aspects of the system.  His dynamic approach to healthcare allows for patient progress to occur in a safe and effective environment, enabling his clients to reach their full potential.     

Michael’s long-term vision involves opening a multi-disciplinary clinic offering eastern and western approaches to healthcare under one umbrella.  Eventually, Michael wants to establish an outreach training clinic for overseas work.
