Biography
Who is Julie ?
Julie is one of the French ambassadors of the Balance System Acupuncture method. Based in Montreal for over 10 years, she first began studying acupuncture in France, curious to better understand what “Qi” is, that tingling sensation and circulation at her fingertips that she experiences while practicing Qi Gong and martial arts. Over the years, she began to change her lifestyle, transform her worldview and find her vocation: to offer, through acupuncture, a space for reconnecting with oneself and one's own self-healing capacities. Julie takes great pleasure in introducing people to acupuncture. Pain, headaches, stress, anxiety, insomnia, women's health and seasonal allergies are at the heart of her clinical practice.
Training and professional skills
In 2012-2013, Julie has the opportunity to live in Asia. She completed her first clinical internship in Vietnam and offered her acupuncture services in a French medical practice in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
In 2017, she graduated from the Acupuncture Department of the Collège Rosemont in Montreal and discovered the Equilibre Method, based on a balancing system of the body derived from classical texts. Its founding principle is to unblock the channels of energy circulation according to a holographic concept of the body.
For Julie, it was a revelation. The Equilibre Method is transforming her clinical practice and providing her with many answers. Passionate about her work, in 2023 she obtained certification from the Tan Academy of Balance at Vancouver, created by Dr. Sonia F. Tan, one of the 16 gold-level practitioners of the late Dr. Richard Teh-Fu Tan, whose dream was to share the often overlooked effectiveness of acupuncture with as many people as possible.
Julie is now part of the team of online and face-to-face teaching assistants at Tan Academy of Balance. She is registered with the Ordre des Acupuncteurs du Québec (OAQ) and a member of the Association des Acupuncteurs du Québec (AAQ). She has been working with l'équipe multidisciplinaire Action Sport Physio Maisonneuve Rosemont since 2017.
