Richard’s path to becoming a Dr. of Acupuncture started with a personal search for healing. In 2021, he was battling chronic, worsening eczema. While traditional medications offered some relief for his skin, they took a heavy toll on his overall energy, mood, and well-being. Looking for a more holistic approach, Richard decided to try acupuncture. After just four sessions, his skin condition improved significantly, and more importantly, he finally felt great in his own body again.

That experience was life-changing. It inspired Richard to pivot his career toward acupuncture so he could help others who are in pain, feeling stuck, and looking to reclaim their health.

Background & Expertise Before stepping into the acupuncture clinic, Richard earned a Bachelor of Education from the University of Alberta and worked as a Licensed Massage Therapist. This background gives him a unique edge in the treatment room: he combines a passion for educating his patients with a deep, hands-on understanding of the human body.

He is well-versed in muscular anatomy, orthopedic assessment, and therapeutic exercises, with a strong focus on promoting deep relaxation of the nervous system.

Clinical Focus Throughout his clinical training and practice, Richard has developed a strong interest in treating:

Chronic musculoskeletal pain

Insomnia and sleep disturbances

Digestive issues

He is deeply committed to continuous learning and is actively expanding his practice to include treatments for mental health challenges, migraines, systemic inflammation, dry needling, and shockwave therapy.

Treatment Philosophy Richard’s goal is to work in partnership with his patients to bring about the best possible results. He firmly believes that true healing comes from within. By systematically removing stress factors and de-stressing the body, he helps unlock each patient’s natural healing abilities to achieve their goals for every session.

Off the Clock When he is not in the clinic, you can usually find Richard exploring the beautiful mountains west of Calgary, hiking with his wife and their dog. He stays active through weightlifting, playing hockey, and boxing. On slower days, he loves checking out local Calgary coffee shops and community markets.
