I have been having really bad insomnia the last week and been missing all my classes as well as disrupting my daily routine, so I needed something to help with it. I found Gord from ATP and he was very helpful and informative with my insomnia. Ever since I visited, I have been sleeping really well and been coming to my classes. He also checked up on me after a week which was very nice of him! I would definitely recommend!

The first session with Gord and it magical the last it was truly magical, he showed empathy on the medical reason for me booking the appointment.Made me feel at ease and showed great customer service towards my 3-year-old who I had to bring with me. Gord also accommodated my son's needs as well, while I enjoyed my procedure.Unfourtnelly a lot of professionals are not fond of "children" being at appointments, but Gord showed difference and it truly showed through his support and the knowledge of his line of work. Will come again :).

Was recommended Gord from my massage therapist. Started having nerve pain in my back that was brand new. Never tried acupuncture before but I needed some help dealing with this new problem.Gord listened to my problem, asked questions to better understand the issue and explained what he was going to do to start the process of helping me.After just my first session, the nerve pain was GONE! My back was still sore but the nerve pain was treated.I have been going back to Gord now for four months now and can not recommend him enough. He is a true student to his craft. His knowledge on acupuncture is still evolving, just today we discussed what he just learned as he knows there is still more to discover.Even though I've maxed out my coverage, I will continue to seek out treatment from Gord as he has a gift.

From the moment you walk in, you relax. It's such a peaceful environment, and Gord takes the time to deep dive into your body and thoughts to help find solutions. I'd go every day if I could! I've received massage, acupuncture, and cupping services from this location, as well as learned some breathing and meditation techniques, and my day to day has already drastically improved!

I leave each time with a sense of peace and a better appreciation for the world around me. Thank you Gord for creating this sanctuary.

Gord was very accommodating. This was the first ever time I went for any sort of acupuncture. Filled him in on the issues I was having with my shoulder and back. He did some cupping, acupuncture and electro and helped with my issues. Going back for future treatments as this is the best I've felt in years, already have my next appointment booked. Highly recommended Acupuncture Turning Point!!

I suffer with chronic migraines and the relief I have from acupuncture and cupping helps me enormously. I felt very safe and well cared for during my latest visit during CV19. Every precaution was taken to ensure health and safety. Everyone is so friendly and Gord is an extremely knowledgable acupuncturist.

I have never had a unsuccessful appointment with Gord! I was there this week and Gord worked on me from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. I have a 42 year old back injury, fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression, knee pain and pain management is HUGE. Gord worked on all of the above. I have been seeing Gord for almost 3 years and I can depend on Gord to help me EVERY single time. He also gives me hope, hope is everything when it comes to chronic pain. Hope inspires me to be a healthier me. I highly recommend this healing place. Acupuncture Turning Point is the place to be.

At 38 weeks pregnant I went ton visit Gord to help me with moxibustion treatment. My baby was breech and I was terrified of having to potentially go through a Csection!Within 3 days of the treatment the baby turned after the doctor saying there was little chance that baby would.A happy side effect was having some of the best sleep I've had since being pregnant!I highly recommend as a treatment before other intrusive measures!!!

I would recommend seeing Reg or any of the crew at Acupunture Turning Point. I’ve been to a number of different clinics in the City and I would have to say this is A+. The clinic is amazing, so welcoming, I find the atmosphere is very relaxing/calming. As an Exercise Specialist I was extremely impressed with the way my body felt after my appointment. I will be back and will refer my clients, family and friends.

I first met Gord when he was looking to build out his new space at the United Health Center. We were fortunate to be the chosen Contractor and since opening the space I have also become a patient of Gord's; we developed trust, transparency, and he has been helping me manage my rheumatoid arthritis through acupuncture and has opened my eyes to other methods, practices, and thoughts in managing stress and life. I have also started massage therapy at the ATP and Marisha is fantastic. I thank Gord for his trust in me and our team, and I thank him for his knowledge, expertise, and enthusiasm in his field! - Kevin Lapes

The Acupuncture Turning Point is truly an oasis of calm and peace, a space for healing with Gord Grant at the helm. Gord's understanding of health and wellbeing is extraordinary and through extensive therapeutic training and experience there is provision to care for all sorts of health challenges including trauma recovery using acupuncture. To quote from their brochure: Acupuncture enhances the ability to be resilient and remain healthy in the face of life's stressors. Feeling blessed to be cared for by someone who sees my fractures for what they are and is willing to hold the space for my healing and building antifragility in the process.

The approach to health and the vision Gord has at ATP is like no other facility I have been to before. Rather then just focusing on my injury he looked at the bigger picture and helped me find a way to incorporate healing into my daily routines. I highly recommend going here, especially if you want more then a quick temporary fix.
