Jessie has always experienced a strong connection to energy and the natural world, this deepening curiosity has developed into a passion for healing. At the age of 20, after several years of practicing yoga and meditation, Jessie began her training in qigong (Chinese energy work) under the mentorship of Sifu Justin Ngui, 24th generation in the Ngui family lineage. After three years of practicing qigong and using it to heal animals, she began to study acupuncture. Jessie graduated from Eight Branches Academy of Eastern Medicine in 2017 and has been working in a clinic as an acupuncturist (R.Ac.) ever since.
She treats a wide range of conditions including but not limited to anxiety, gastrointestinal diseases, woman’s health, allergies, physical pain, and sports injuries. She uses the principles of qigong in her practice, looking at each patient holistically to locate the root of their ailment, initiating healing from a deeper level. She is passionate about empowering people to use energy as a means to lead healthier and more fulfilling lives.
Jessie has an Honours BA from York University in the Humanities, is certified as a Level I and Level II Yoga Teacher with Paola Di Paolo of Four Directions Yoga, is trained as a Birth Doula and carries a Diploma of Acupuncture from Eight Branches Academy Of Eastern Medicine.
Prior to attending University, Dr. Lianna Bahry occupied the majority of her time on the ice rink as a Competitive Figure Skater. It was through figure skating that she became fascinated with movement and body mechanics. She then began coaching which led to finding her passion while working with people to optimize their potentials and achieve their personal goals.
Throughout university and during her postgraduate doctorate in chiropractic, Dr. Bahry dedicated her time to becoming an active member of the yoga community and began working with individuals to create programs of care focusing on Functional Strength-Training. By doing so, she fostered a mind-body awareness that carried forward into her practice. Maintaining this holistic belief, she focuses treatment on the restoration of the entire body’s physical and mental function.
A mother herself, Dr. Bahry has benefited tremendously from ongoing care received throughout her pregnancies. She has a special interest in working with pre/post natal patients and paediatrics. She strives to empower her patients and build community. Dr. Bahry’s expertise in biomechanics and the neuro-musculoskeletal system has allowed her to successfully care for patients with a wide variety of conditions. She utilizes a holistic approach where the entire body is treated, not just the symptoms. Dr. Bahry will evaluate the body’s physical function through a comprehensive and structured approach.
