Ryan Brooks TCMP, D.Ac, B.A.

Ryan Brooks is a graduate of the Toronto School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the only school in Ontario that meets the licensing and certification requirements in Canada and the United States for Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. He has also studied at the Academy of Classical Oriental Sciences in British Columbia and is a graduate of the Eastern Studies program at the University of Western Ontario.

Following his studies in Canada, Ryan participated in a clinical internship at Chendgu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine Teaching Hospital in the Sichuan Province of China. Ryan’s practice includes traditional Chinese medical treatments such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutritional counseling, Tuina bodywork, Tai Chi and Qi Gong.

Ryan is an active lobbyist for the implementation of a high professional code of practice for TCM practicioners. In July 2005 he was selected to propose criteria relating to such professional standards before an investigatory Parliamentary panel. His presentation, along with others of the Toronto TCM community, will ultimately inform the regulation process soon to be legislated by the Ontario government.
