Chinese Medicine, Ritual, and Divination
Practice for serious practitioners and clients with cultivated inner lives.
Registered Acupuncturist. Master of Medical Qigong. Professor of Traditional Chinese Medicine at three Toronto colleges. Initiated priest and shaman in Chinese esoteric Buddhist (唐密), Mao Shan Shang Qing (茅山上清) Daoist, and wu (巫) lineages. Toronto, since 2015.
New serious clients typically begin with a divination consultation, after which we decide together what kind of ongoing work makes sense. Clinical acupuncture is available as a separate professional service, directly bookable.

The work
Chinese medicine, ritual, and divination were one discipline before the modern regulatory era separated them. This practice treats them as they were: an integrated body of work for the care of the body, the spirit, and the situations a person finds themselves in.
The underlying work is priestcraft and shamanism. The regulatory separations between clinical medicine and spiritual practice are real, and I respect them. But the discipline is one.
Clients come for different reasons. Some are working magicians who want peer-level consultation. Some are serious meditators, depth-psychology practitioners, or therapists who want their bodywork to meet the rest of their practice. Some are practitioners in other traditions seeking lineage-level engagement with Chinese methods.
What holds across all of them is that this isn't a walk-in clinic. It's an operating practice. Clients bring their own seriousness to it.
Offerings
Divination consultation
Tarot with mediumship or mahjong divination, depending on the question. Sixty minutes, $175 + tax. The entry point for most new serious clients. Works as standalone consultation for decisions with consequence, or as intake for ritual engagement.
Readings operate from the same lineage framework as the ritual work: classical Chinese cosmology anchored in concrete decision-making, not predictive entertainment.
Ritual
Priest and shaman work for situations that call for it. Operating ritual rooted in Chinese esoteric Buddhist (唐密), Mao Shan Shang Qing (茅山上清) Daoist, and wu (巫) shaman lineages, continuously practiced. For thresholds, protection, ancestral obligation, and work that does not resolve through ordinary means.
New ritual engagements begin with a divination consultation. The reading determines whether ritual work is appropriate and, if so, its scope. Ritual engagements begin at $1,500 and scale from there.

Reiki sessions
Reiki transmitted at the lineage level Usui reserved for priests, magicians, and witches. Not the wellness-industry version. Energy transmission for nervous system conditions, Shen disturbance, and deep conditions where needling alone isn't the right approach. Often combined with acupuncture in ongoing treatment.
Sixty minutes, $115 + tax. Available to existing clients and to new clients through consultation.
Ongoing retainer relationships
For clients who want ongoing divination, ritual, and cultivation work across a year rather than session-by-session. Application-based. Limited intake.
Clinical acupuncture
Classical Chinese medicine as ongoing cultivation practice, not episodic symptom management. Covered by most Ontario extended health plans. Available directly to new patients and existing clients.
About
My spiritual master is Andrieh Vitimus, author of Hands-On Chaos Magic, through whom I trained as a priest and shaman at the Results Over Image Institute. My Medical Qigong training and Mao Shan Shang Qing (茅山上清) Daoist priest lineage come through Robert Youngs, who trained under Dr. Jerry Alan Johnson, 80th-generation disciple of Mao Shan Shang Qing and senior abbot of Bian Hua Gong (Temple of Change and Transformation) in Monterey, California. Robert transferred the priest lineage to me directly before his passing. I also hold practice initiations in Chinese esoteric Buddhism (唐密) and wu (巫) shaman tradition, and work in broader folk Daoist practice alongside the Mao Shan Shang Qing lineage.
Clinical practice since 2015. Teaching since 2018.
