This stunning original design by Haida artist Jay Simeon features “Kuniisii” a supernatural being who gave the Haida people songs and music, along with other mythical creatures prevalent in Haida history that was passed down from generation to generation through songs and oral narratives. This one-of-a-kind Steinway model D was hand painted in acrylic made from ground argillite, a stone found exclusively in the Queen Charlotte Islands of British Columbia. The work was commissioned by Tom Lee Music Canada. To the Haida people, music and mythology are intrinsically connected. The history was handed down from generation to generation, through songs and oral narratives of epic journeys. In designing the artwork of the Steinway piano, it was Jay’s intention to capture the importance of it in the Haida culture. For more information on this collector’s

PACIFIC EXECUTIVE HEALTH CLINIC

“We want our patients to receive the best quality of care that Canada offers without the long waits”

Dr. Emile Woo


PR O SPER IN B EAU TY AN D H EALTH

Pacific Executive Health was started last year by Dr. Emile Woo and Dr. Colin Hong. It is located centrally near the corner of Broadway and Cambie Street. It is a private clinic servicing the Vancouver area. The clinic was started as a response to the growing need for health care services for the increasing Chinese population in the Vancouver area. The aim of the clinic is to therefore provide timely and quality care in a private setting. TELL US ABOUT YOUR INDULGE FEATURED PRODUCT? Pacific Executive Health is here to help patients navigate the Canadian medical system. It is also able to provide services that are not available with the public system such as newer technologies such as Capsule endoscopy and also able to offer painless colonoscopy and without the long wait times. In addition, we take advantage of the latest and sophisticated technology to offer non-surgical cosmetic treatments and skin care products.

Dr. Colin Hong

WHAT IS TRENDING IN YOUR INDUSTRY FOR 2016? People are expecting more personalized and responsive health care to meet their needs to stay healthy. However, the Canadian healthcare system continues to be mired with a lack of funding leading to patients waiting for months before they can receive care. Private providers are now leading the way to being able to provide the care that the public system is unwilling or unable to provide.

BEFORE

AFTER

What is trending in your industry for 2017? natural cosmetic treatments. lighter doses of botox and other neuromodulators. using small amounts of filler all over the face to rejuvenate each area and giving support to the outer 2/3’s of the face with fillers instead of focusing on the centre with huge cheeks and over-inflated lips. What are the most common concerns people ask about in their consults? Many patients say, “i look old, sad and tired i don’t know why.” these feelings are usually a result of hollowing tear troughs. the fat pads under the cheeks drift downward as we age. When we fill these areas, the patient looks instantly refreshed.

Wilson school of Design graD, Taylor Byrom, has caughT WorlDWiDe aTTenTion WiTh her kiDs cloThing line Taylor Byrom grew up in a house where people sewed. So when she decided to turn fashion design into a career, it wasn’t surprising. Byrom graduated from Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s (KPU) Wilson School of Design in 2013 with a bachelor of design in fashion and technology. Initially planning to launch her career as a wedding dress designer Byrom drastically changed focus after her experiences volunteering with sick kids. Seeing firsthand the need for better, more functional clothing options for kids with complex medical needs, Byrom created and launched jolie hart, a line of girls’ apparel created for just that. The pieces in her clothing line have been designed to accommodate various tubing and medical equipment, as well as wheelchair restrictions. Now, as a KPU alumna, Byrom is continuing to grow her business (she’s recently begun working on a clothing collection for young boys with medical needs called victory hart) which is a true mix of design theory, application, and industry connection.
