I’m Gavin Larsen, a Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner (R.Ac., R.TCM.P.) with over a decade of clinical experience and a passion for helping people rebuild strength, resilience, and long-term vitality, especially when stress, burnout, or unexplained symptoms like hair loss have pushed them past their limits.
Modern life demands a lot. Between long hours, chronic stress, and disrupted rhythms, many people feel drained or stuck in survival mode. Sometimes it shows up as fatigue or tension. Other times, it’s hair thinning. Traditional Chinese Medicine offers more than symptom relief. It helps restore the deeper systems your health and hair depend on.
In my practice, I combine acupuncture, cupping, myofascial release (Gua Sha), and herbal and food-based medicine to help your body deeply restore. Whether you’re dealing with exhaustion, chronic pain, or shedding that won’t resolve with surface-level fixes, I focus on restoring balance and helping your energy flow again, so you can move, feel, and thrive.
Since earning my Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine Diploma in 2014, I’ve specialized in treating musculoskeletal pain, low energy, and stress-related conditions including premature hair loss. As a former instructor, I also believe education is key: I empower clients with practical tools and clear strategies that support resilience and prevent relapse, because lasting health shouldn’t be guesswork.
Outside the clinic, I stay curious about what it really takes to feel well, through strength training, recovery, nutrition, circadian rhythm, and nervous system health. To me, health is all about giving your body the support it needs to rebuild and function at its best.
