Student-led Acupuncture Clinic

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, herbal remedies and moxa.

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

• A treatment during the initial consultation – not guaranteed (full treatments will be provided during each subsequent booking) and depends on the time available and type of clinic format booked.
