Derek Gouweleeuw R.Ac
Registered Acupuncturist
I am a father of 2 lovely children, I live in the Cowichan Valley and I am a part of a beautiful community! I am originally from Ucluelet, BC. What brings me here today is influenced by an acupuncturist who helped me through some surf injuries and digestive ailments. I have a keen interest in anatomy and 'how-we-move' and made that a focus of mine! My goal is to keep my community moving, from high performance athletes to our elders, allowing us the opportunity to play for as long as we can!!
What moves me, moves you!
I am trained as an Acupuncturist with a special interest in Sports medicine. An integration of Eastern holistic approach with a deeper understanding of human anatomy and how we move.
How can I help?
I use a lens that includes the whole body and its systems. Muscles can’t function without organs and vice versa! Let’s dig deeper and work on both the root and branch to find relief.
See the Difference
My approach is by observing the patterns before and after treatment. I want to see if there is an observable difference in mobility, pain, even breathing and heart rate, which can change during a treatment.
