MY PERSONAL JOURNEY

20 years of experience at your service

I have experienced the ill effects of stress on my health, and my performance at work. I found tools and new and efficient solutions which enabled me to deal with those effects and solve them.

I am a Jin Shin Do® Foundation graduate and I am also accredited by the Fédération québécoise des massothérapeutes (FQM). My 20 years of experience with serving professionals who face similar challenges are at your service. I now split my time between clinical work and teaching.

My personal journey

The price of success

Following my higher studies, I first built my career as manager of international projects. This job had several advantages, however the working conditions became more and more difficult. The stress I experienced over the years resulted in many physical and psychological symptoms : tendinitis, acute back pain, irritable colon syndrome, thyroid problem, burnout.

As I searched for efficient ways to solve my health problems, I pursued personal development approaches. I became initiated to chinese medicine, body oriented practices such as Qigong, Heart Coherence, Acupuncture and Jin Shin Do® Acupressure. I also put into application everything I learned in my professional life; the results were tangible. I rose to the challenges, I overcame my own limits and the quality of my life improved. I even graduated from the Jin Shin Do® Foundation and received accreditation from the Fédération québécoise des massothérapeutes (FQM).

My personal journey

The joy of sharing

At the end of my career as a project manager, I reached a point where I felt great and full of energy at the end of the day. This was quite a feat, as my workload had greatly increased due to my involvement in different activities and training. It was at this point that I decided to share the fruit of my experience full time.

I now offer my expertise and care through consultations, workshops and conferences in private practice as well as in professional environments. Every day, I get to witness my clients’ transformations, how they move along on their path and how they improve the quality of their life. For this I am pleased and filled with gratitude.

Testimonials

“Alain is an excellent therapist, rigorous and enthusiastic. He helped me support and balance my energy during a most difficult year. Acupressure is such a gentle, precise and efficient method! Thank you Alain.”

Emmanuelle ClénéOsteopath

“When I first consulted : I suffered from anxiety, fears, stiffness, stress, amenorrhea and insomnia. After treatment I felt relaxed, confident, and I experienced a new-found sense of security. My physical, mental and emotional bodies were balanced and harmonized. In short, I found myself, unlocking tensions and enjoying being at ease in a free healthy body. Jin Shin Do operates magic every time. ”

Maude LabontéPsychosocial Intervener

“The first time I consulted for acupressure, I had been suffering from a sharp pain in my neck which had been radiating in my upper back and arm for several months. From the very first consultation, I felt this approach was beneficial. Not only did it relieve the pain, but I understood the tension points which settled in my body. I hardly suffer anymore, and I have decided to continue this therapy because it changes the way I do things and how I feel… for the better. Thank you, Alain.”

Amina TrikiResearcher

“Receiving Jin Shin Do treatments and working with Alain has been a transformational experience. After only a few months, I am experiencing shifts and improvements with respect to a health condition that has been with me for nearly a decade. He has helped me to identify that the quality and depth of my breathing was comprised due to many years of persistent pain. Alain also introduced me to coherence cardiaque - a rhythmic breathing practice that helps to balance the nervous system (amongst other benefits). I did not think that a breathing exercise could have such a significant impact on my health, but now I am hooked! ”

Marika TjebbesTeacher

“My experience with Acupressure with Alain can be described as a joyous liberation. I had been suffering from fibromyalgia for many years and had trouble trusting my body. Although I had tried many approaches I never knew whether I could participate much less enjoy the opportunities life sent my way.

The acupressure sessions with Alain allowed me to feel better and better at every level, it even transformed how I face life, and more specifically its challenges - with grace and ease.

The healing process rarely happens overnight, but after each acupressure session I felt improvement, often stunning, and surpassing all my expectations as my results encompassed my well-being as a whole.”
