Gigi Vincentine
  Dr. TCM Dip., R. TCM. P., R. Ac.

GIGI BEGAN HER STUDIES of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Taiwan. After living there for over 4½ years, she was drawn to Victoria to complete a five year Doctor of TCM program at the International College of TCM. Gigi later returned to China to complete an intensive internship at Zhejian University Hospital in HangZhou.

She has successfully challenged the Acupuncture and Herbal Board Exams and is currently a Registered Acupuncturist and Herbalist under the College of TCM in BC. Gigi has over ten years of clinical experience in Acupuncture, Herbology, TuiNa Massage, Moxa, Cupping, Reflexology and GuaSha. Her experience and practice of Yoga, Taichi, Qigong, and Meditation bring a soothing sense of peace to her patients.

Gigi has experience treating many diseases and ailments ranging from Kidney Disease to Allergies. Traditional Chinese Medicine is able to treat most if not all diseases because it is based on symptoms and patterns of the individual person. Gigi has a broad scope of practice with a special interest in Internal Medicine, Chronic Illness and Pain, Gynecology, Pregnancy and Mental/ Emotional Health.

The inspiration to study Chinese Medicine was a result of the many interactions Gigi shared with TCM Doctors while living and working in Taiwan. The Chinese culture and Taoist way of life had a forceful impact on her.

The wonders of the human spirit, mind and body continue to feed her passion.

Serafina Christine

SERAFINA OFFERS Reiki combined with Crystal Therapy, card readings and gemstone elixirs. Born and raised in Manitoba, she left home almost a year ago to pursue her own healing centered on mental, emotional and sexual abuse. Thus far her healing has taken shape with meditations, counseling, Reiki, crystals and a lot of reflection on the self. Having received her Usui Reiki Master's degree in 2009, during her travels she continued to practice Reiki on herself and others. Reiki is a non-invasive healing modality that works on the energetic levels of the body. During a session a client remains fully clothed, and may be lightly touched or not at all.

Gradually, her sessions began to include crystals. As she learned further how to work with them, she discovered the value that crystals can bring into a session. Crystals enhance the session as they lie on a client's body, allowing the body to absorb their healing energy in a slow, gentle and loving way.

Being strongly intuitive her whole life she took to reading Angel and Crystal cards over the last year like it was eating a piece of pie. Enjoying the process of doing a reading, and seeing how much it can help clients in supporting their decisions, made it an easy choice to make this service available publicly.

Gemstone elixirs are made of water that holds the vibration of a gemstone or various gemstones. The water carries the same healing properties that the actual gemstone would in a condensed format that is easy to apply, use and carry. Gemstone elixirs are either ingested, sprayed within the auric/energy field (the air immediately around a person) or applied to a particular part of the body.

You are invited to call Serafina with questions or to book an appointment at 250.213.1252 and to check out her website here. You can also book an appointment through Simple Remedies at 250.380.1223.
