About DAO YI WELLNESS
Rooted in Tradition, Focused on Your Health
The name DAOYI comes from two ideas: Dao, meaning to maintain a healthy way of life, and Yi, the origin or essence of who we are. Together, they describe exactly what we practice — helping people in Eglinton Upper Village and across Toronto restore and maintain their health using original, traditional, and natural methods.
Our approach is built on the ancient Chinese principles of Yin and Yang: balance, harmony, and the body’s own capacity to heal. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, our registered acupuncturists, TCM practitioners, and massage therapists look at the whole person — your history, your lifestyle, and your specific imbalances — before building a treatment plan.
At DAOYI Wellness, we practice what we call “less is more.” Our herbal formulations use simple, natural ingredients to minimize side effects, and our acupuncture technique is refined to reduce discomfort while maximizing results. Every modality we offer — acupuncture, Tuina massage, herbal medicine, Gua Sha, cupping, and moxibustion — exists to support your body’s own self-adjustment, not override it.
We’re proud to serve as a community wellness space for Eglinton Upper Village: a place where registered massage therapy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and acupuncture come together under one roof, with direct billing available so care stays accessible.

What Makes Us Different
As a female-founded practice, women’s health is at the heart of everything we do. We understand that a woman’s body changes in meaningful ways throughout her life, from the first menstrual cycle to the years after menopause, and that each stage brings its own needs, challenges, and questions. Too often these changes are dismissed as something to simply put up with. We believe they deserve real attention and care that truly fits where you are.
We support women through every chapter of life. For younger women, that can mean easing painful periods, regulating irregular cycles, or calming the mood changes that come with PMS. For women planning a family, we help prepare the body for conception, support natural fertility and IVF, and offer gentle care throughout pregnancy and postpartum recovery. And for women approaching midlife, we help the body prepare for menopause and move through it with fewer hot flashes, better sleep, and a greater sense of balance.
Traditional Chinese Medicine has always viewed women’s health through these natural life stages. Rather than treating each symptom on its own, we look at the patterns underneath, such as the health of your Blood, the flow of Qi, and the strength of your Kidney energy, which classical Chinese medicine sees as the foundation of a woman’s reproductive life. This allows us to build treatment plans that support your body as a whole, not just the concern that brought you in.
Whatever stage of life you’re in, you’ll be cared for by a team that listens, takes your experience seriously, and works with you over time. Our goal is not only to relieve what you’re feeling today, but to help you feel strong, balanced, and supported for the years ahead.
