Acupuncturists in Montreal
Elisa Lessard
After 15 years' experience as a counsellor accompanying people with drug addiction and/or mental health problems, I felt the need to find a different but complementary approach that would enable the body to be used to improve physical and psychological well-being. Traditional Chinese medicine was a significant discovery for me, as it opened up new philosophical concepts and perspectives for helping people.
As part of my training, I did an internship at the Fondation Québécoise du Cancer, where I found that acupuncture helped reduce the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatments, such as fatigue, hot flashes, peripheral neuropathy, digestive problems and pain.
It has always been important to me to welcome people without judgment and to establish a relationship of trust and mutual respect. I'm delighted to be able to practice at the Clinique d'Acupuncture Sociale d'Hochelaga, which shares my values of inclusion and access to care for all. I look forward to meeting you.

An acupuncturist since 2024 and a massage therapist since 2011, I combine my training with my interests, weaving a spiral of knowledge. My journey really began in 2009, when I was studying anthropology. A professor had suggested that we travel and learn as many languages as possible to really immerse ourselves in the subject. So I went to China, to southern Yunnan. Following a visit to the rice fields of Ping'An, I fell ill. I was cured by an experienced acupuncturist who first gave me a decoction of plants and insects. The next day, my ailments were completely gone. She then shared her knowledge of the needle and points with me for a few weeks. When I returned, it was clear to me that traditional Chinese medicine would become the apprenticeship of a lifetime.
My heart remains in Asia, and I've returned there many times to follow the most authentic training courses and to encourage the people who keep their culture alive. I enjoy treating all gynecological ailments, from the onset of menarche to perimenopause, PMS and fertility issues. Anxiety, digestive disorders and headaches are also problems I like to understand and treat with you.

Ten years ago, I received my first acupuncture treatment that changed my life. I suffered from chronic pain that doctors only treated with prescription pain medications. I feared that the medication only "turned off the signs of alarm". But I wanted to know how to target the source of the pain.
Acupuncture, Chinese herbs, Tuina, Qigong, and especially Chinese dietary medicine (FOOD) revolutionized my lifestyle, how I felt, and how I interacted with the people around me and my environment. I have the utmost respect for this cosmology, and for the incredible diversity of deep medical knowledge that spans the continent of Asia, meticulously transmitted over the last five thousand years. Each day, I receive a lesson in humility as I recognize the innate wisdom of all living beings: our evolution is guided by self-healing, co-regulation, and the experiences of joy and love. I am honored to be able to work and exchange with you as my learning process continues.
I am particularly interested in treating:
- les maladies auto-immune
- la santé gynécologique, la fertilité, l’obstétrique et les soins post-partum
- les athlètes (art-martiaux, danse, cirque)
- la santé pédiatrique

What motivates me above all else is connecting with people. Listening to your words, to what your bodies have to say, and then doing my best to support you in achieving a better quality of life. After several years of working in psychosocial intervention, particularly in mental health, I wanted to approach healing differently. What I especially love about acupuncture is its blend of power and gentleness, and its understanding of the connections between every aspect of life. We treat people the way we tend a garden: with curiosity, patience, and respect.
I dare to believe that taking care of oneself is also taking care of others.
That individual balance ripples out to the collective. That when we allow ourselves to slow down, to feel, and to soothe our suffering a little, we can then fully engage with the world and naturally infuse it with our own color.
I particularly enjoy treating:
- psycho-emotional issues (stress, anxiety, insomnia, burnout, addiction)
- chronic pain (fibromyalgia, migraines, etc.)
- gynecological health and menopause
- side effects of cancer treatments

Lorsque que je pense à ma vie, avant celle d’acupunctrice (en restauration, en horticulture, en tourisme) je remarque un dénominateur commun : prendre soin.
Graduée en 2022 en fin de pandémie, j’ai pris la route de la Côte-Nord pour m’oxygéner et me remplir le coeur de beauté! La vie me ramène maintenant à Montréal où le besoin d’être entourée et de faire partie du collectif refait surface. C’est un privilège de me joindre à l’équipe et de participer à rendre l’acupuncture accessible.
Pour moi, un soin en acupuncture est une rencontre humaine. Avec le thérapeute, mais surtout avec soi-même. Un moment choisi pour se déposer et reprendre son souffle. Remettre les choses en place.
Je suis de nature calme et joyeuse. J’aime voyager, parler espagnol, boire du café, écouter les oiseaux chanter, être sous l’eau et jardiner.
J’ai un intérêt soutenu pour les déséquilibres hormonaux, les douleurs chroniques et les montagnes russes émotionnelles. C’est avec bonheur et douceur que je vous accueillerai, et ce peu importe la raison de consultation.
