Gregory Schnabel
Gregory Schnabel has studied and practiced Chinese medicine for over 20 years. He began to take an interest in it in 2001, in Taiwan, when the care provided by a diē dá medical practitioner cured him of injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. In 2002, Greg met his first teacher, Ron “Doc” Rosen OMD. After being Dr. Rosen's apprentice and attending his barefoot medicine classes for three years, he enrolled in the acupuncture program at the International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Victoria BC (ICTCM). He studied there under the supervision of Dr. Wally Mui D.TCM for three years. After graduating, however, Greg felt there was something missing from his training. He found this missing element in the teachings of Jeffrey Yuen. In 2011, Greg traveled to New York where he established a community acupuncture practice in Catskill, NY, and studied with Mr. Yuen on weekends at his center in Chinatown, NYC. He learned about Chinese herbalism, advanced acupuncture, Chinese dietetics and the use of essential oils from the perspective of classical Chinese medicine. Most importantly, he learned that true Chinese medicine is rooted in the spirit.

Felix Dénommé
Ten years ago, I received my first acupuncture treatment which changed my life. I was then suffering from chronic pain to which the doctors only responded by prescribing painkillers. I was worried that the drugs would only serve to “turn off the alarm”. I was rather looking for how to target the cause of my condition. Acupuncture, Chinese herbalism, tuina, qi gong and ESPECIALLY Chinese dietetics (THE FOOD) have revolutionized my way of life, the way I feel, as well as my way of interacting with people and my environment. . I have the deepest respect for this cosmology, for the incredible diversity of profound medical knowledge across an entire continent, meticulously recorded and passed down for 5,000 years. Each day, I am humbled by seeing the innate wisdom of all living beings: our evolution is guided by self-healing, co-regulation, the experience of joy and love. I am honored to do my job and to be able to share with you in this continuous learning process.

Acupuncturist
Laura Martin
Depuis qu'elle a terminé le cours d’acupuncture au Collège de Rosemont, Laura pratique en milieu communautaire, en centre de traitement des dépendances, et en clinique multidisciplinaire. Elle est orientée par son intérêt à soutenir les patient-es dans leur processus de guérison. La médecine chinoise est une approche personnalisée qui considère l’état immédiat dans lequel vous êtes, et la spécificité de vos symptômes pour guider le traitement. Pour Laura, l'acupuncture nous rappelle aussi que nous sommes partie intégrante du monde. Ces deux orientations sont à la base de sa pratique, où elle utilise principalement une acupuncture par méridiens (Acupuncture Sa’am, Dr. Tan). Laura est membre de l’Ordre des Acupuncteurs du Québec.
