Gil Gosch is a Registered Acupuncturist (R.Ac.) graduated from Kwantlen Polytechnic University – KPU. His background studies in Acupuncture and Shiatsu Therapy started back in 2012 in São Paulo, Brazil, where he has also practised Acupuncture and its correlated techniques.

His motivation to study and work with Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture was inspired by Aikido masters he had the opportunity to know and follow in the past 20+ years practising this traditional Japanese Martial Art. Alongside the physical demands of the training, he engaged in the Zen practice of meditation, which has helped him to exercise grounding, balance and center.

Fully engaged in Eastern practices he felt that a closer connection with Chinese culture and masters should complement his professional skills and his personal quest. This is why he chose to study in Richmond, B.C. A short term Summer Program in the Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine – BUCM in 2024 with daily lectures and technical visits has given him an increased awareness of the importance of this ancestral knowledge as a path to healing people, the community and the environment.
