“We want you to get the care you deserve.”

Monica Bourque

Reg. Acu, RMT & Licensed Aesthetician

Her path to becoming a licensed acupuncturist was coincidental. In 2016, she was diagnosed with Frozen Shoulder, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and Carpal Tunnel from overwork. She tried different RMTs and Acupuncturists with unsatisfactory outcomes, which lead her to decide to return to school to study TCM Acupuncture in order to treat herself and further advance her career.

Monica graduated from one of the oldest TCM schools, OCTCM in Markham, which has become a leader in training Registered Acupuncturists under CTCMPAO. She combined the principles of anatomy and physiology with myofascial train network, specifically, for pain management (carpal tunnel, frozen shoulder, thoracic outlet syndrome, thoracolumbar junction issues, trigger points, back pain, lower pain, pain in extremities and muscles weakness.

Additionally, Monica has been licensed as an Aesthetician in the state of New York for more than 20 years. She is conversant with exploring Facial Acupuncture as holistic alternative treatment for skin disorders (acnes, scars, brown spots and pigmentations), easing fine lines and wrinkles, and to improve facial tone and complexion.

Monica is a graduate of Bryan College’s Massage Therapy Diploma Program and is a Registered Massage Therapist. She has worked for massage spa clinic; physio clinics’ an integrative health care centre; and a 5-star hotel spa in downtown Toronto. Her therapeutic acumen has guided her to treat many clients with positive results. Her treatment focuses on the Anatomy & Physiology of the Body as a whole and tackles first the root cause of disruptions. Her unique career journey includes accolades recognizing her as a top aesthetician in New York State, a registered massage therapist and a registered TCM acupuncturist in Ontario.

PERSONAL STATEMENT

Aesthetician, Massage Therapist, Acupuncturist…

I am a perfectionist. I always ask myself what can I do better.  When I start working on a client, the gears in my brain are also constantly turning. I gather information through touch and what I can visibly see. I am always passionate with what I do. In my treatments, I focus on listening to a clients’ body and assess how their body responds to my touch. My intuition guides me towards how to work on them. I am always looking at your body as a whole; trying to get at the root cause of any problems.

To outperform my industry peers, I need to be very creative. In my years of practice, I have created many techniques that you will not be able to experience anywhere else. I know what works and what will make you feel better.

I also often treat myself using TCM acupuncture and electroacupuncture as my own rehabilitation program after long hours of treating others. I know firsthand that acupuncture is great for pain management. And in incorporating it into my practice, I know that I am the complete package in treating people. 

I have been in this business for more than 8 years now. I am enthused when I get complimented and enjoy the satisfaction of being able to help others, especially in helping my clients alleviate their pain and discomfort. I have one “Golden Rule”, which is, to always treat others the way that I want to be treated myself. In this way, I am continually motivated to pursue further education and training in order to constantly provide the most current and advanced techniques in my treatments. 

In addition to my RMT and TCM training, I also have a rich background as an aesthetician, having studied at the top beautician and aesthetician programs in three famous cities: Hong Kong, London, and New York. I pursued post-graduate studies for face and body treatments. I was one of the top students in the program and was praised for having amazing hands.

I always strive to be the best, no matter what I do, and aspire to offer the very best to my clients. Every client is treated equally under my hands and they trust me with my work. I hope that I can help you discover the best version of yourself through providing the proper treatment and maintenance of whatever it may be that ails you.
