A RETURN TO WHAT THE BODY ALREADY KNOWS

SHAUN

Registered Traditional
Chinese Medicine Practitioner (R.TCM.P)
Owner of Shaun’s Zen

Shaun Chen did not set out to become a TCM practitioner.

Before Chinese medicine, his path was shaped by logic and precision — a master's degree in mechanical engineering, and a life built around measurable outcomes. Then, his body began telling a different story. Tests came back normal, yet the discomfort remained.

He found himself sitting with a question conventional medicine could not answer.

“ IF NOTHING IS WRONG, WHY DOESN’T ANYTHING FEEL RIGHT? ”

That question became the beginning of a much deeper search. Shaun found his way to Traditional Chinese Medicine, expanding his search into Zen philosophy, Taoist thought, and the practice of zhan zhuang standing meditation.

Journeying across Eastern and Western traditions, he did not seek a system to blindly follow, but an understanding of life's truth that he could honestly stand behind.

In October 2024, bringing together years of clinical experience and a profound personal transformation, he founded Shaun's Zen TCM & Acupuncture in Richmond, BC, dedicated to providing a sanctuary of balance for those seeking answers to the very same questions.

Rather than looking at symptoms in isolation, Shaun looks at each person's health from a systems level — treating what is present, while also paying attention to the patterns underneath. The goal is not only short-term relief, but care that supports deeper, longer-lasting balance.

Our mission is to help you understand the messages your body is sending,
and to build a sustainable rhythm that genuinely supports you for the long term.
