About Us 

 

Hello.  My name is Hans Bongarts and I've been involved in holistic and environmental issues for over 20 years.  This interest lead me to pursue training in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture.  

 

My earlier training in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture make me appreciate the amazing machine we call our 'body'. Traditional Chinese Medicine works on the premise that the whole person and all its intricate bodily systems are inter-related and must be considered in any treatment strategy to achieve the best results.  

 

Initially I was offered the opportunity to study acupuncture under the supervision and guidance of a Master Chinese Acupuncturist, in a very traditional manner, studying not only acupuncture but also herbs and Chinese medicine.   I went on to train as an Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist with NADA (National Acupuncture Detoxification Association, Lincoln Hospital, New York.)  To broaden client exposure I obtained further training at Columbo General Hospital, Sri Lanka. Subsequently I obtained my M.D.T.M. degree (Doctor of Traditional Medicine). 

 

For several years I shared both clinic space and patients with both a Medical Doctor and a Chiropractor.  This arrangement allowed me to gain a unique perspective and understanding on how two different medical disciplines approach the delivery of patient health care.    Presently my practice is located in Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.   

 

In British Columbia, I carry on business as a Laser Acupuncture Therapist.
