Justin Lapointe
Acupuncturist
Member of the Order of Acupuncturists of Quebec
Welcome! I am Justin Lapointe, a dedicated acupuncturist and member of the Ordre des Acupuncteurs du Québec. I am passionate about combining ancient acupuncture techniques with modern and holistic health approaches. In my clinic in the heart of Montreal, I am committed to providing personalized and deeply therapeutic care, addressing the entirety of your being: body, mind, and emotions.
My Journey
My interest in human development began long before my immersion in the world of acupuncture. With an academic background in sociology and environmental design, I explored how our well-being is interconnected with our environment and social interactions. During my fifteen years of post-secondary studies, I gained an in-depth understanding of human nature, enriching my acupuncture practice.
My Therapeutic Approach
Each session with me is an adventure where I seek to catalyze deep healing. Whether you are an athlete looking to improve your recovery or someone seeking inner balance, I offer you an acupuncture experience where your health is the priority. With my specialized training in pain management and sleep disorders, I aim to provide treatments that resonate with your individual needs.
Clinical Experience
2011-2014
I am specially trained in sports and cosmetic acupuncture, pain relief, and gynecology. My approach is enhanced by postgraduate training with renowned experts such as Sonia Tan and Whitfield Reaves. My clinical experience also extends to fascia and sports medicine acupuncture.
2007-2010
Commitment to Well-Being
Yoga and meditation have been pillars of my life since 2014, enriching my ability to integrate mental and physical well-being into my treatments. I have had the privilege of teaching these disciplines at various studios and companies, including Cirque du Soleil, always adapting my classes to the specific needs of my students.
