Michel Duhaime

Michel Duhaime grew up in Québec in a French Canadian family. First interested in a military career as an aircraft maintenance engineer, his curiosity in health was stimulated while reading on sports nutrition to satisfy a desire to perform better in athletic areas such as soccer, triathlon, running and skiing marathons, and other endurance events. This developed into a passion in topics related to human health, and eventually into studies in Western herbal medicine, shiatsu, Ki Aikido, and ultimately Chinese medicine and most recently medical Qi gong. As an acupuncturist, Michel has also incorporated other healing modalities, some ancient and some contemporary. This includes Esoteric Acupuncture, transformational medicine, Emotional Freedom Technique, Psychology of Vision, Tao of Trauma, and Inner Bonding®. His practice focuses on the exploration of the body-mind-spirit continuum, specifically addressing chronic pain and chronic illness as windows into the deeper realms of the subconscious mind. His approach is gentle, caring, firm yet compassionate, and follows the subtle hints to recovery offered by his patients in the history of their illness and/or spiritual growth. Michel has been registered as an acupuncturist in BC since 2001.
