For Richard Lobbenberg — the clinical director and founder of the holistic health centre Yellow Gazebo — a medical vocation has always been a family affair. His father, mother and brother each held careers or stints as nurses, and Richard originally planned to attend medical school himself before he was swayed by acupuncture and Chinese medicine’s creative and improvisational approach to healing.
Holistic health was another draw. “With Chinese medicine, you can treat the whole person,” he says. “It’s a dynamic approach as opposed to a linear approach. Rather than using ‘a’ to treat ‘b,’ you’re actually treating ‘b’ by treating the rest of the alphabet.” At Yellow Gazebo, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to common ailments.
According to Richard, the clinic is built upon four main pillars of natural health: natural medicine, such as acupuncture, naturopathy and Chinese medicine; body work therapy, which includes massage and chiropractic; counselling services to promote mental health and well-being; and exercise instruction. While would-be yogis now flock to crowded studios across the city, Richard promotes one-on-one private yoga from a qualified instructor to guide enthusiasts through the poses.
I am very happy that I have found this clinic, they just opened in my neighbourhood (St. Clair West) last Fall. I have been going for prenatal massage regularly, I have tried a few registered massage therapists there, they are all very good in listening to my needs, and they are very professional. I also like the atmosphere there, it's clean and calming, not your average wellness clinic, and I trust the therapists there, you can tell they are more professional than the ones in a spa.
I had headaches during my first trimester, the owner practices acupuncture therapy there, he gave me a few treatments and it helped a lot. I was skeptical about acupuncture before, and was afraid of needles, but it didn't hurt at all, and I felt way better after. I just want to thanks them and will definitely recommended my family and friends.
Richard is an excellent acupuncturist. After the birth of my son I was in a great deal of back pain, and pretty exhausted. After only a few treatments I was able to walk pain-free, and my energy level was much higher. I even felt happier and more well-balanced. Thank you Richard!! The atmosphere at Yellow Gazebo is also really lovely - you feel more relaxed the moment you walk in.
I was suffering from heartburn got a consultation as a last resort, turns out I had low energy as well. After a very affordable treatment, I not only have heartburn far less often, I had increased energy for weeks. I now go on a regular basis for almost everything. The staff are caring and invested in your well being. Truly great experience.
