your balanced way to wellness!

Our Vision

To build a reputation of excellence by offering an integrative approach to well being using Traditional Chinese Medicine services that facilitate health and restores balance. Our commitment is to provide safe, effective care and education to our community to preserve lifelong balance in mind, body and spirit.

Our Philosophy

We support each member of the Purple Buddha community in their own path toward optimal health.

Both the ancient wisdom of Eastern medicine and advances of Western Medicine guide our approach to evidenced-based integrative medicine.

We embrace and honour the profound power of our patient’s mind, body and spirit within the Purple Buddha community.

We recognize each person as whole and complete in his or her path of health, spiritual and financial wellbeing.

We affirm our patients’ birthright to live a life of happiness and fulfillment and demonstrate a deep appreciation and respect for the human spirit.

We facilitate health and healing, and embody a new model of health care providing a whole-person approach to comprehensive health and wellness.

Why Mr. Tang?

Terence Tang, PhD, R. TCMP, R. Acu.

“As our society falls victim to an increasing number of chronic illnesses, we need a health paradigm that solves problems and provides affordable, effective health care for all.”

For over twenty-five years, Mr. Tang has dedicated his studies and career  in both Western and more recently Eastern medicine.  He believes that integrative East-West medicine is a candidate for such a model of medicine.  With this in mind he applies this framework throughout the process of diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation as it guides the use of the appropriate techniques, allowing the strengths of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to compensate for the weaknesses of modern Western medicine.  His goal is to support integration of two systems — modern medicine’s analytical, quantitative, mechanistic approach with the systematic, holistic and individualistic approach of TCM so that each person achieves balance and optimal health.

Mr. Tang is registered with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists in Ontario (CTCMPAO) and is the founder of Purple Buddha Health and Wellness Centre serving his local community of Kitchener-Waterloo.  He brings extensive patient-tested knowledge and experience to his busy practice providing customized solutions and personal attention to each patient.   Committed to providing comprehensive and compassionate care, Mr. Tang helps patients achieve optimal outcomes in total health offering services for patients of all ages.
