Alyx Hough Brings Traditional Korean Healing Method to Burnaby’s Premier Wellness Center, Making Metro Vancouver One of Few Regions Offering This Specialized Therapy
BURNABY, BC – Lumera Health Collective, a leading integrative wellness center in Burnaby, today announced the addition of Sujok therapy to its comprehensive suite of healing modalities. Led by certified practitioner Alyx Hough, this expansion marks a significant milestone in the clinic’s offerings, which already include Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture, kinesiology, and registered massage therapy. With Sujok now available, Lumera becomes one of the few wellness centers in North America to provide this specialized modality.
Developed by Professor Park Jae Woo, Sujok Therapy is an innovative system rooted in various ancient medicinal modalities, utilizing correspondence points on the hands and feet as micro-maps of the entire body. By stimulating these points with needles, pressure, or other gentle techniques, practitioners can influence the entire body, supporting both physical and emotional healing. Lumera Health Collective’s holistic approach now includes “TCM | Acupuncture | Kinesiology | SuJok | RMT” services, making it a unique destination for patients seeking both traditional and innovative therapeutic options.
“I’m so excited to bring Sujok therapy into our practice,” said Alyx Hough, certified Sujok therapist at Lumera Health Collective. “It’s a natural complement to the work we already do. By weaving Sujok into traditional acupuncture treatments, we’re able to create care plans that are intuitive, gentle, and deeply supportive for each person.
Rare Therapeutic Offering in Western Canada
Lumera Health Collective is proud to introduce Sujok therapy to the lower mainland, a specialized healing modality that extends beyond conventional acupuncture practices. Unlike traditional needle placement across the body, Sujok focuses on the hands and feet, where each point serves as a micro-reflection of the entire body. This makes the therapy highly approachable for individuals seeking natural, non-invasive ways to address a wide range of conditions.
“With Sujok, we’re able to offer patients an extraordinary bridge between ancient wisdom and modern healing,” explained Hough. “By working with the hands and feet, we often bring relief in ways that feel immediate, gentle, and highly effective. Sujok allows us to meet big emotions and significant life experiences with a subtle yet powerful approach. From easing sleep disturbances and chronic pain to supporting recovery from injuries and even addressing issues like vertigo or hormonal imbalances, Sujok opens up possibilities that complement and enhance our existing therapies.”
Comprehensive Sujok Integration
Lumera’s new Sujok therapy services include acupuncture and acupressure with precise hand and foot point stimulation, color therapy using advanced healing light for improved sleep and overall wellness, and emergency protocols for immediate relief. We also offer integrated treatment plans combining Sujok with TCM and traditional acupuncture. We curate specialized support for weight management and metabolic balance, targeted treatment for vertigo and dizziness, as well as fertility, pregnancy preparation, pregnancy-related symptoms, and postpartum care.
Educational Mission Expanded
In addition to patient care, Lumera Health Collective will soon offer Sujok therapy workshops and courses for both healthcare professionals and individuals interested in self-care techniques. These programs embody the “be your own Sujok doctor” philosophy, teaching fundamental acupressure Sujok methods, as well as seed and color therapy applications.
“Our mission has always been to centre around healing that honors the past and supports the future,” explained the Lumera team. “Sujok perfectly embodies the balance between traditional and contemporary medicine – rooted in ancient wisdom and continually refined through the lens of modern wellness and Western diagnostic approaches.”
About Lumera Health Collective
Lumera Health Collective’s greatest strength is their team of highly skilled and experienced practitioners who bring “a lifetime of experience, advanced training, and a deep commitment to personalized care” with “a unified approach to healing.” The addition of Sujok therapy enhances their existing modalities, allowing practitioners to create comprehensive treatment plans that may now combine traditional acupuncture and sujok techniques.
Known for its excellence in acupuncture and massage therapy, the clinic has become a trusted space for patients seeking to restore balance and well-being. With the introduction of Sujok therapy, Lumera Health Collective now offers an even more comprehensive spectrum of care — all under one roof.
