Dr Jean-Sébastien Bernier,
Chiropractor
-
Curiosity and my passion to constantly question myself, combined with a strong family heritage, led me to deepen the field of Applied Kinesiology, which is, in my opinion, the most advanced field of holistic health to date. Over my many years of practice, a desire has arisen in me to share my knowledge and acquired clinical experiences, which are often important pearls for beginner clinicians or in active practice for years. I always have a great pleasure to take the time to deepen topics or answer questions (just like with my patients) during training, with students or clinicians, for an improvement in clinical results that allow optimization sick people.

Dr Joé Dupuis,
Chiropractor
I completed my studies for an undergraduate Doctorate in Chiropractic at the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivières in 2016. Then, during my academic career, I was fascinated by health from a global point of view.
First, from my first year of study, I learned about applied kinesiology. Moreover, I found both a passion and a tool allowing me to see each individual as a whole. Studying the relationship between the biomechanical aspect, the biochemical aspect and the emotional aspect in each person allows me to put into practice a variety of knowledge in the search for the cause of the symptoms and the treatment specific to each individual.

Since I practice in chiropractic, I have had the opportunity to observe in many ways how amazing is the human body with patients of all ages using an approach inspired mainly by applied kinesiology. For several years, the work of Jean-Pierre Barral D.O. has brought a new light on my practice and transformed my understanding of numerous neuro-musculo-skeletal signs and symptoms. Using several clinical tools, my goal is to identify the source of the symptoms of the patients who consult me in order to optimize their health.
I have always had a keen interest in teaching. For me, these are privileged moments that are marked by pleasure, sharing and learning. By considering your objectives during a class, I will try to be a partner so that together we can achieve these and perhaps even exceed them.

Dr Catherine Therrien,
Chiropractor
-
Doctor of chiropractic in practice for more than 20 years, she is continually deepening and diversifying her knowledge. By first pursuing studies in Applied Kinesiology, in which she obtained the highest level of certification(DIBAK / IEC), she also studied with the Institute of functional medicine, as well as Functional Neurology, Neuro- Emotional Technique (NET), and more recently aromatherapy.
She is currently the president of the Canadian chapter of applied kinesiology (iCAK-Canada), and it remains at the center of her interests since it is the technique that allows her to use all the knowledge she has acquired on each individual patient. Occasionally invited to share her knowledge as a teacher to her peers, she also volunteers on the international level in the administration of the exams of the Diplomate of International Board of Applied Kinesiology (IBE), it is her way of participating in the evolution of the profession in a positive and rigorous way.
Amazed by the body's ability to naturally recover health, this is how every day, she not only provides care, but also teaches each patient, so that they learn to (re)acquaint themselves with the body in which they live and become better able to take care of themselves.
