Mauro Pontarollo is a practitioner of the oldest medicine in the world - Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Through his continuous study of TCM, Mauro is able to offer his patients an integrated system of healing. This includes acupuncture and moxabustion, Chinese herbal medicine, Chinese dietary therapy, tui na massage, cupping, tong ren energy healing, qi gong and Tai Chi Chuan along with Buddhist meditation.
This wisdom and knowledge of this complete and organized medicine comes from many teachers. The foundation of Mauro’s knowledge was gained from Master Tom Tam of The Oriental Culture Institute, Master Fu Wei Zhong of The Er Mei Sudden Enlightenment School and The International College of TCM of Vancouver. Mauro graduated from ICTCM as a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine in April 2000 and still continues his studies with his first two teachers Tom Tam and Fu Wei Zhong in Tai Chi Chuan, qi gong and tong ren therapy.

Mauro has had the opportunity in spending time with Venerable Bhante Kovida in learning mindfulness meditation and the philosophy of Buddhism. By gaining this experience Mauro has gone to teach his own classes and seminars in Tai Chi Chuan, qi gong, meditation and tui na massage.

Mauro has the ability to provide a more beneficial treatment for his patients with referrals to other health and wellness care providers with Thai massage, yoga, hydrotherapy, chiropractic and counselling.

Currently a licensed practitioner, Mauro is member of The College of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine of British Columbia and The Association of TCM of BC. He continues to educate himself by independently studying the art of TCM and attending seminars.

Mauro hopes that he can contribute to help TCM and energy medicine grow and develop while educating society of its benefits. With his addition of qi gong classes, Thai massage students will benefit by enhancing their life force as they become practitioners of Thai massage.
