Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture in Markham, Ontario — founded in 2022.
Our Story
Lu Gan founded Amrita Healthcare in Markham in 2022. The clinic carries her own name: “Amrita” is Sanskrit for divine nectar, and her Chinese name, 甘露 (Gan Lu), means the same thing. She comes from a third-generation family of Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners. She earned a bachelor’s degree in integrated clinical medicine and a master’s degree in acupuncture at Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where she was later named a distinguished alumna, and completed an advanced apprenticeship under acupuncturist Dr. Wei Liu. She established the clinic near Apple Creek and Woodbine in Markham. Her practice follows the principle of Yang Zheng — cultivating the body’s own resilience rather than treating symptoms alone. People’s Daily has featured her as a new-generation Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner who preserves the essence of TCM while adapting it thoughtfully to modern life.
What every visit at Amrita Healthcare is built on.
We honour and apply wisdom passed down through generations, so every treatment is rooted in the authentic lineage of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
We integrate insights from modern medicine to provide logical, clear and personalized health strategies.
We create a healing experience that engages all the senses, so feeling well is itself something to enjoy.
We build long-term, trusting partnerships with each client, walking together on the path to renewed vitality.
Every course of care starts with a consultation — your symptoms, your history, and what you want to get back to.
From there a plan is built from the therapies that fit. Amrita practises the full range of Traditional Chinese Medicine — acupuncture, gua sha, cupping, moxibustion, tui na, auricular therapy and Chinese herbal medicine — alongside Registered Massage Therapy, so a plan can combine approaches instead of being limited to one.
Appointments can be booked online, and the rate for every service is published on our pricing page in Canadian dollars.
Five clinicians practise at Amrita: Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners, Registered Acupuncturists, and a Registered Massage Therapist registered with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario.
Sufeng (Susan) Peng practised obstetrics and gynecology for more than twenty years at a tertiary hospital in China and is a senior practitioner of Li-style Gua Sha — a technique she trained the clinical team in. Baiying Li studied acupuncture and tui na at Changchun University of Chinese Medicine and trained further at John & Jenny TCM College in Toronto. Ka Ki Li completed the massage therapy program at Centennial College with honours.
