About the clinic

Acupuncture is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) modality that uses points on the body that lie on meridians or pathways along which the body’s life-giving energy called Qi circulates.

Under the supervision of professional clinic mentors, Georgian College Acupuncture students provide treatments including electroacupuncture, acupressure, cupping and moxa.

If you are a new client, please take a look at the Acupuncture acknowledgement agreement before your first appointment.


IMPORTANT NOTE: At any time before or during treatment, the supervising Registered TCM/Acupuncturist may determine that treatment shall not proceed due to the increased risk to the client or others in the setting

All instructors/mentors involved in training students and supervising the Georgian College Acupuncture Clinic are duly regulated members in good standing with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario (CTCMPAO). CTCMPAO is the governing body established by the Government of Ontario under the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991 and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Act, 2006.
