To book with Karim email him directly at info@ShaktiQi.com or if your preferred time is unavailable online or have any questions.
Alternately, you can text or call 604 724 4986. To learn more about my practice, please visit my website ShaktiQi.com. I look forward helping you at Therapia; rest assured you, your health and your well-being are in good hands.
Hello, my name is Karim. I’m a Registered Acupuncturist and Ayurvedic Practitioner. My passion for healing and helping others has driven me to train and combine several disciplines including, but not limited to, Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, Ayurvedic Massage and Medicine, as well as Injection Therapy and Vitamin Booster shots, to achieve beneficial results for those in my care.
As an ex-dancer, and someone who has led a physically active life, I know what it’s like living with pain on a daily basis. “The show must go on”. Maybe you feel the same way? Dealing with pain on a constant basis but not knowing how to get relief. That’s where I can help.
I welcome all - males, females, trans*, and non-binary folks - who are on the journey to their optimum health. My commitment to learning about and understanding the individual needs of my patients is what, in my opinion, makes my practice unique. I am available to help with any of your health concerns; pain, fertility, stress, menstrual issues, general health, or other more specific concerns whether body or mind.
My past dance career took me to many countries, and during that time I discovered my other true passion, the healing arts. It started first with the practice and teaching of Yoga, which lead me to the study and work in Ayurvedic Medicine, and eventually to graduate with a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine Diploma in Vancouver. I subsequently received my Registered Acupuncture licence from the College of Traditional Medicine and Acupuncture (CTCMA).
Now I offer my support to those who are looking to resolve their health discomforts or concerns to have a more productive and happy life. Our bodies go through many events and transitions during our lives - from conception to birth through to aging. Our bodies record our stories and remember our joys and pains. I can help your body find peace with its past and its present, and help it step into your future.

** LISSY IS NO LONGER TAKING ICBC CLAIMS:
If you have an ICBC claim and require treatment please email me on the above address before you book an appointment**
Originally from the UK, Lissy graduated with honours from Vancouver College of Massage Therapy in 2018. She became interested in the massage therapy after sustaining a sports related injury. Through treatment and recovery, she was able to see first-hand the benefits of massage therapy, and this motivated her to switch careers from working in the film and tv industry to massage therapy.
Lissy is passionate about helping people and believes all patients are unique and no two conditions or injuries are the same. She likes to adapt her treatments to her patient’s needs and help them work towards their goals, and improve their quality of life. She uses a variety of techniques such as myofascial release, therapist assisted stretching, trigger point release, neuromuscular therapy, dynamic release and other various swedish and deep tissue techniques.
In the past she has treated individuals with tendonitis, carpal tunnel, plantar fasciitis, neck and shoulder pain, frozen shoulder, impingement syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome, pregnancy, respiratory disorders, strains and sprains and headaches.
Lissy is always looking to improve and develop her knowledge and skills further as an RMT and is currently taking a number of continuing education courses.
Lissy’s areas of interest are Women’s Health, Migraines and Headaches and Sports related injuries.
When not treating Lissy spends most of her free time writing, going on hikes, camping, cycling and traveling with her husband. Although she doesn’t ski in the winter she can be found snow-shoeing through the wilderness and exploring all that BC has to offer.

Direct Billing: Available for Pacific Blue Cross, Medavie Blue Cross, Sun Life, Green Shield, and Telus eClaims (incl. Canada Life, Manulife, and more). MSP Supplementary Benefits reimbursement possible via mail.
Jonathan has been studying the human body since the early 2000s, first with a degree in kinesiology followed by a degree in education. He became a registered massage therapist in 2018 and is presently completing a master of arts in counselling psychology, with plans to also practice as a registered clinical counsellor in the near future.
When working with Jonathan, you can expect myofascial release, active techniques, instrument assisted soft-tissue mobilization (IASTM), and cranial sacral therapy. He works at an adaptable, moderate level of intensity and welcomes all forms of input in order to tailor his treatments to clients’ needs.
To better support his clients, Jonathan completed a 12-month cranial sacral therapy mentorship program. Cranial sacral therapy requires attention to detail when working with the cranium (skull), spine, and sacrum (tail bone) as well as the face, sinuses, jaw, and throat. Jonathan has also completed education in order to be a trauma-informed practitioner.
Jonathan’s holistic approach means that clients can expect ongoing assessments of the entire body throughout their treatments to enable an evolving awareness of what is occurring and what may be contributing factors.
When possible, please arrive with loose clothing you can comfortably wear during your treatment.
Jonathan Paez is excited to join the team at Therapia in Yaletown since November, 2022.

Adam graduated from the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy in 2012 with a passion for helping others to get well.
Massage therapy is an essential tool to self-healing and Adam’s path to being effective involves helping people to understand their pains and injuries in order to facilitate better healing.
Adam believes that collaborative, multidisciplinary care is necessary for the best outcome. He uses a combination of swedish, trigger point release, joint mobilization and myofascial release in his treatments. The goal is to provide a safe and effective treatment that is tailored to the individual needs of his patients. Each massage begins with a short assessment to identify the chief issue, and ends with instructions for home care designed to be easy and effective to ensure longer lasting results.
This is a beautiful city and when not working Adam is riding his bicycle, spending time with his family, hiking the trails or just enjoying a moment with a cup of tea on a patio.
