About Gord

I’m Gord Grant (Ph.D., R.Ac.). I founded The Acupuncture Turning Point back in 2009. My work is about helping people restoring function, strength, and well-being — starting from where you are now.

With a background in science, beekeeping, and acupuncture, I’ve learned that real progress comes from listening not only to your symptoms, but also to your story and your unique circumstances — the details and priorities that guide you — and developing the right support to address both immediate concerns and underlying issues.

A career shaped by science, bees and nature

In my 20s I researched bee diseases; in my 30s I built and ran a large-scale commercial bee farm; in my 40s I returned to research with a food focus. Since my 50s, and now into my 60s, I’ve practiced acupuncture while still enjoying bees as a hobby.

My work has always mattered to me as a way of staying engaged with life.  Whether as a bee farmer in the past, or now as an acupuncturist, it has been a place where curiosity, effort, and care come together.   Over time, it has taught me about resilience, renewal, and how small, consistent choices influence health, vitality and well-being.

Your first visits and beyond.

When you come in, you’ll be treated as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms. Each session is adapted to your situation, with attention to discovering the changes that show up between treatments. The goal isn’t just relief, but steady progress in both your symptoms and your overall sense of well-being.

The clinic is a space filled with art, plants, music, a water feature, and even a small library.  Many people come early or stay afterward simply to enjoy the calm, have a tea, or engage with books and art.

My approach

I combine proven methods — acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, and a skilled approach to dry needling that minimizes discomfort. My work is informed by research and clinical experience. My aim is steady, meaningful progress — not only superficial short-term relief.

I’ve seen in myself, in my bees, and in my patients that health and life are never static. Health and life are always evolving — a process of adapting and renewing.  Sometimes the shifts are small, sometimes they’re profound. For some, it’s simply about easing pain or improving how they move and feel. For others, it’s part of a larger journey toward long-term balance and strength.

My motivation is to meet people where they are, and to help them find a way forward that makes sense and fits their lives.
