ADELINE-THI MUGNIER
Osteopath, Acupressure Therapist
Since her early childhood, Adeline knew that she would dedicate herself to manual therapy, but it was only after high school that she decided on osteopathy. Having an all-encompassing view of the human body seemed coherent and promising to her.
After graduating, she dedicated herself to osteopathy for 5 years before feeling the need to broaden her knowledge. She then began a program in Acupressure and Traditional Chinese Medicine in order to expand her understanding of the human being in its physical, emotional and energetic oneness. This curriculum allowed her to get closer to her vocation and provided her with a substantial background. She received her second diploma at the end of 2019.
Adeline takes the time to help her clients understand and listen to their bodies, as well as improve their life habits. Her clients say that the precision of her touch, her intuition and her capacity to listen are the reasons for the benefits that they receive.

KELSEY CUNNINGHAM
Acupunturist
Through her gentle approach, Kelsey seeks to offer restorative treatments that also address the emotional aspect of illness and pain. She has a special interest in gynecology and holistic reproductive health, but also has experience with digestive difficulties, chronic and musculoskeletal pain, insomnia, and emotional disturbances such as anxiety and eating disorders.
Her studies include degrees in acupuncture and moxibustion (Eight Branches Academy, 2015),Clinical Western Herbalism (Institute of Traditional Medicine, 2018), and Traditional Chinese Medicine (Institute of Traditional Medicine, 2019).

Kelsey has passed the Pan-Canadian Examinations in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, and is a member of the Ordre des Acupuncteurs du Québec and the Association des Naturotherapeutes du Québec.
A session with Kelsey in Acupuncture will include a deep dive into your medical history and a discussion of lifestyle and other factors as they pertain to the condition for which you are seeking treatment. The treatment itself will normally include the insertion of 5 to 15 fine needles into specific ‘acupoints’, which will remain in the body for about 30 minutes in a peaceful, restorative space (during which time, you are invited to nap or meditate).
A naturopathic session will also include an in-depth discussion about your health status, and your goals for your well-being. We will then focus on nutrition according to your unique needs and tendencies. When beneficial, Kelsey will also suggest a custom herbal preparation such as a tincture, herbal tea, pills or powdered formula). A reflexology treatment is included in each naturopathic session.
A reflexology session aims to relax the body through an acupressure massage on the feet, which represent a "microsystem" of the whole body.
Fascinated by traditional philosophies of medicine and their regard for the body as a dynamic and intelligent ecosystem, Kelsey continues her professional development through ongoing training and self-directed study. She spends her free time volunteering as a doula with the Montreal Doula Collective, and watching birds while walking on Mount Royal. She is fluent in French, English, Spanish and Portuguese.

Prior to working with women to help them glow utilizing plant-based foods, mindset & self-care practices, she was working as a Registered Nurse for over 6 years, both in hospital and in a community setting.

Continuously expanding her knowledge through studies in Kundalini Yoga, Ayurveda, and other holistic methods, Alixe is committed to serve women who want to achieve a beautiful life balance.
