About Jean-Michel

Chester et moi

Bio

Jean-Michel is passionate about acupuncture since it
removed his intense chronic shoulder pain. Rock climbing
injuries have sparked his curiosity about anatomy and
musculoskeletal problems.

The wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine caused a
profound transformation in his approach to his daily life.
This inner calm makes him more available to listen fully.
Moved by compassion, his mission is to alleviate suffering,
sorrow, confusion and stress.

If our health is the by-product of our daily habits, we
sometimes need a little help to trigger a change. It is a
gesture of deserved self-love to book with a therapist who
really cares.

Jean-Michel believes we are in constant evolution. His
practice helps balance the Qì (vital energy) of the 5
Elements in order to go through the current phase and
move on to the next. His wish is that everyone thrives so
that humanity can flourish.
