J. Kirk Pleasant, R.Ac. Balance Acupuncture - Massage and Therapy Centre
Greetings, my name is Kirk Pleasant, R.Ac. I am a registered acupuncturist in BC Canada and have diplomas as an acupuncturist, herbalist, and practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. My clinic, the Massage and Therapy Centre is located in Vancouver, BC at 158 East 11th Ave. (at Main). My primary interests are acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. In that capacity, I utilize all of the TCM therapies including cupping, moxabustion, electro-stimulation, scraping, bleeding, tui na massage, and patented Chinese herbal formulas. Additionally, I am a reiki master and teach periodic classes in the three primary levels of Usui style reiki. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions about my practice or me personally. Best wishes, Kirk Pleasant, R.Ac.
I began my interest in healing at a very early age. Many of my young friends would gravitate towards me whenever they had a scrap or pain. In most cases, I managed to either stop the bleeding or clean and bandage the wounds. My goal was always to become a medical doctor and I got two years into pre-medicine before I became very disillusioned by western medicine. Eight years later, I discovered Chinese medicine, which held for me all the wonder of the body and it's mysteries that alopathic medicine neglected. After training four years at the International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Vancouver, I am now practicing and healing. I have been practicing reiki for five years and use it frequently as an adjunct therapy to acupuncture. I was attuned to the level of reiki master three years ago and teach regular workshops to people interested in learning level 1, 2, 3, and master level reiki.
