"This was my first experience with Ching Wo (Cherry) Tung for acupuncture. I had initially completed a very detailed online assessment about my medical history. At the beginning of the treatment appointment she did a very thorough assessment of my body and took a number of pictures to see where I was out of alignment. She pointed these out to me and explained what she was going to do in treating me. She also showed me the size of the needles she was going to use. I felt very reassured by her gentle and calm manner and could hardly feel the needles as she inserted them. She put them in with the lightness of touch. I was very impressed and will certainly continue seeing her for treatment."

Acupuncturist, R. Ac
Cherry is a Registered Acupuncturist in Vancouver BC with a doctorate degree in acupuncture. She is also a registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner in Hong Kong for over 10 years.
She focuses on helping individuals restore physical balance and recover from other chronic and systemic conditions so that they can enjoy life with improved mobility, flexibility and overall wellness.
Her first encounter with acupuncture was at birth when her mother had prolonged difficulties in delivering her to life. Her father named her Cherry, short for the cherry blossom symbolizing rebirth and resilience.
Raised in a family with generations of medical background, she has extensive exposure to both traditional Chinese and Western medicines.
To Cherry, healing is about empowering people for a second wind. How we perceive the root cause makes all the difference in treatment.
Acupuncture has also empowered Cherry’s own recovery. She knows well first-hand how it feels to be woken up to pain and constrained in daily activities.
Enlightened by the process of healing, she sees the human body as a river: smooth flow enhances vitality whereas stagnant flow creates blockages. Most tension, pain and degeneration are rooted in structural misalignment and blockages. When the human body has restored supply of blood and nurturing energies, it will start its own healing process.
Most patients came to Cherry with a complex mix of symptoms involving different parts of the body and systemic disorders. Seeing the body as interconnected, she takes the time to assess the whole body and trace the seemingly unrelated symptoms to the root.
More than pain management, Cherry uses acupuncture to relieve blockages and misalignments that are closely related to a diverse range of dermatological, digestive, gynecological, immunological, neurological, respiratory, sleep and mood disorders. With her delicate needling and palpation techniques, she tailors effective treatment for individuals to restore balance and mobility for lasting wellness, from head to toe.

Cherry is my new acupuncturist after a glowing referral from my neighbor. What surprised me most was her 100% attention to me for the full duration. I can’t wait for the next round.
