Dr. Karen Lam , D.TCM

In 1996, Dr. Karen Lam graduated from the International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine as a General Practitioner and Licensed Acupuncturist. She joined Integrative as an associate practitioner in 2000. Dr. Lam is educated holistically and uses ancient and modern, science-based Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) methods for healing.

Dr. Lam has a particular interest in fertility, women’s health and pregnancy, and she is a certified Doula and Aromatherapist. She uses Acupuncture, herbal therapy, stress reduction and dietary consulting to assist men and women working with issues related to conception and pregnancy. Dr. Lam offers both prenatal and postpartum care. She promotes wellness and supports patients going through a myriad of conditions including pain, stress or fatigue, and general family practice issues.

Dr. Lam’s practice includes a variety of treatments and testing methods such as:

• Acupuncture
• Botanical Medicine
• Homeopathic Medicine
• Muscle Testing
• Food/Environmental Sensitivities
• Stress Reduction
• Health Balance

Along with her general practice, she is Integrative’s lead Rejuveness trainer and provides treatments for healthy aging. For Dr. Lam, healthy aging is an area of special interest as TCM philosophy focuses on protecting and nourishing the life-force within. She has promoted facial rejuvenation since 1996 and provides a whole body and energetic treatment style by combining ancient acupuncture techniques with modern technology.

Dr. Lam is one of only a few specially certified in Cosmetic Acupuncture Renewal, which she offers at Integrative. This technique promotes longevity and vitality by observing the “shen”, or inner reflection as seen on the face and selecting particular acupuncture points that improve aesthetic appearance and tone of the face. The facial acupuncture treatment is then enhanced using our Rejuveness System.

The root of true health is held in the layers of ourselves beneath the physical, emotional and spiritual levels. Attending to the needs of these deeper resources allows us to heal from within.

Health and healing comes from within a place of caring. Every person has a voice that needs to be heard, a heart that needs to be nourished and a spirit that needs to be honoured.

I'm here to support patients in balancing their physical, emotional, and spiritual health. I work extensively with patients experiencing acute and chronic pain, stress related illnesses, immune disorders, digestive imbalances, infertility, and seasonal colds and flus. Whether your goal is personal wellness, family planning, or healthy aging, I am here to help you guide you on your path.

In my practice, I use Traditional Chinese modalities (including acupuncture and herbal medicine), nutraceuticals, injective therapies, and a variety of modern natural and diagnostic testing methods to help identify the root cause of allergies, stress, colds, hormone imbalances, and difficulty conceiving.
