Justin Lee, Registered Acupuncturist & Owner
While travelling through China, Justin experienced first hand what it was like to see a Chinese Medicine doctor. At the time, he witnessed the doctor’s ability to detect his father had undergone surgery in his lower abdomen over 2 decades ago just by feeling the pulse on his wrist. A moment that sparked Justin’s interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Justin graduated from the University of Waterloo with a Bachelor of Math and worked in finance a few years before pursuing acupuncture as a profession. He received his diploma in Acupuncture from the Toronto School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and pursued additional training in Japanese Acupuncture under master acupuncturists Mitsunori Seino, and Takamasa Tsurusaki (Seino System of Japanese Acupuncture).
Justin incorporates ‘food as medicine’ in the form of dietary recommendations with his Japanese acupuncture - abdominal diagnosis (Hara), gentle needling, and moxibustion (heat therapy) to create the change his clients need.
Aly Jensen, Registered Acupuncturist
Alycia (Aly) was first introduced to Acupuncture as a patient after a traumatic car accident she experienced in her childhood. The trauma left Aly in chronic pain and due to surgical complications she also experienced digestive issues, stress and anxiety. Aly wanted to find an alternative to alleviating the pain without the reliance on narcotic pain medications, or nerve blocking injections - which led her to discovering the benefits of acupuncture.
During her experience, Aly learned that Acupuncture was great for alleviating pain, effective in regulating her digestion, all the while bringing down her stress and anxiety levels. Acupuncture has provided Aly with countless benefits over the years and has empowered her to take back control of her health.
She completed her training at the SSC Acupuncture Institute, graduating with high honours, and completed additional certifications in Facial Rejuvenation & Cosmetic Acupuncture, Advanced Needling Techniques, and Shiatsu Massage.
She has a special interest in treating women's health issues including fertility & pregnancy, wrinkles, menopause, and symptoms related to PMS.
Aly believes that Acupuncture is an integral component of any person’s overall healthcare needs.
