ABOUT THE STUDIO
1993 was a heck of a year.
Canada appointed their first female Prime Minister. Ruth Bader Ginsburg gained her position on the US Supreme Court. Jurassic Park, The X-Files AND Dazed and Confused were released. But, you know what else? The limited edition Winnebago Warrior RV hit the streets.
Eir has taken the 90’s heritage of that Winnebago Warrior and brought it into the 21st century. Completely custom built from the inside out, our mobile #healsonwheels studio features ceiling mounted zero gravity treatment chairs, a full solar power system, oversized skylights, a wood fire stove, and full surround sound to keep those healing vibes going.
With room for up to four guests at a time, the Eir mobile healing studio provides a communal + convenient space for you to take a little time for natural health care + self care on your own or with friends.
Designed by the Eir team + custom built by Precision Coach Inc.
ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Mercy has always done things a little differently.
Her entrepreneurial journey started at the age of 10, when she founded her community’s first Dog Walking-Private Detective Agency. Seeing the potential of combining these two lucrative industries, Mercy successfully spent the summer of 1996 with her eyes, ears, and (dogs’) nose on the neighbourhood.
Since then, Mercy has explored a variety of industries and professions. She competed throughout Europe and North America as a Rhythmic Gymnast, lived alongside indigenous communities in the Kalahari Desert as a Medical Anthropologist, was a Professional Pillow Fighter with Toronto’s former Pillow Fight League, and has worked throughout North America and Uganda as an international non-profit Programs Coordinator. It was through these varied professions that Mercy discovered the single thread that links us all together: When our communities feel their best, everybody wins.
With this ethos in mind, Mercy has devoted the last decade to studying Acupuncture + Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine. Having studied in both the USA and Canada, Mercy has immersed herself in a variety of healthcare systems, identifying ways to improve on existing structures. Her studies led her to residencies at Rady’s Children’s Hospital (San Diego, CA) and the MHS Family Recovery Centre (Oceanside, CA), where she witnessed first hand the power of collaboration between Eastern and Western medicine, and the importance of providing Acupuncture + Natural Medicine to the community.
And with that, she is excited to introduce Eir Mobile Medicine to Victoria BC, and help our community feel their best.
Mercy is a Registered Dr.TCM in good standing with the CTCMA.
ABOUT THE MEDICINE
Traditional Chinese Medicine is a scientifically proven holistic form of healthcare.
This medicine has been practiced for over 2500 years, and is a complete body of medicine. A variety of tools make up the practice of TCM, including: Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Movement Therapy, Bodywork and Nutritional Counselling.
Chinese Medicine is rooted in the belief that we are all connected, and our symptoms are an expression of imbalance in the body. Through the use of Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine and other natural modalities, we bring the body back to homeostasis and activate our body’s own natural healing abilities.
