Our Story
Two journeys, one mission — helping Vancouver heal through Traditional Chinese Medicine.
It all started with a dream — to help you achieve your best health so that you can live a life full of happiness.
Founder
Cindy
Cindy started her career as a nurse at the age of 23. She loved helping people, but wanted something more — a hands-on approach where she could feel the difference she was making.
She began experimenting with massage techniques, drawing on her deep knowledge of human anatomy and clinical care. Over years of practice, she developed her own methods — blending medical precision with an intuitive, compassionate touch.
Today, Cindy's massage is the heart of Zen. Clients describe it as unlike any massage they've had — because it's built on a foundation most therapists don't have.
Founder
Stanley
Stanley began as a mechanical engineer, but quickly realized his true calling was in health — helping people achieve a state of wellbeing they didn't think was possible.
He retrained in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, eventually developing his signature approach: infusing massage with Chinese herbs to treat muscle, ligament, and joint problems at their root.
His creation of the exclusive KORU herbs has helped thousands of patients find relief from chronic pain, sports injuries, and conditions that hadn't responded to other treatments.

Founded Together
Cindy and Stanley wanted a place where they could channel their passion into helping people heal. Together, they founded Zen Wellness Center — a space where Traditional Chinese Medicine meets genuine, personal care.
Over a decade later, they continue to serve the Vancouver community with the same dedication and warmth that started it all.
