Very toxic, unprofessional, stressful work environment. Also very racist especially to Indian people, the one owner said they only want white English people working for them, so people can understand them. My boyfriends sister who is Indian went for an interview and all they said was "oh your english no good", interview didn't even last 2 minutes. …
Constantly micro managed, harrassed, and sometimes others book and it becomes over booked then you dont get a break or lunch. Even while on lunch expect to be interrupted and be put back to work. Also you can expect the owner to call you 40 times

I am presently finishing my third year at The Canadian College of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. The growth/knowledge I have learned from my instructors and clinical supervisor has prepared me to continue as a health practitioner (RMT) with multiple new skills. As well as a fresh perspective on my wholistic approach for healing the… human body. The atmosphere of the school/clinic is a challenging program but the college offers all the support to successfully complete your diploma. Entering my new occupation as an Acupuncturist will bring a new lease to my professional career

Supportive learning environment accompanied by a great team of professionals. Enjoyed learning a variety of different elements of TCM while also being able to practice hands on and applying that knowledge into the student clinic. Appreciated the option of the fast paced two year program in order to complete the program at a faster rate, landing a job within two years. Would recommend anyone who is interested in Acupuncture/TCM to come check out the college wether that be at an open house or at the student clinic, because it truly is a great place to get a kick start into a fulfilling career of

I went to the student clinic and had an acupuncture treatment. Even though I had never tried acupuncture before, the people made me feel confident I was in good hands. The student practitioner asked me a bunch of questions about my health and why I was there for treatment and then confirmed his diagnosis with the registered acupuncturist. I didn't even feel the needles go in and then, after they left me to relax, I felt so "zen" that I nearly fell asleep on the massage table! The whole thing took an hour from start to finish and I left feeling rejuvenated and energized.

Excellent patient care Staff and students are very caring .. and want to help you heal .. Tired of taking pills go see what they have for an alternative solution .. I have never referred a friend that told me… that they did not get relief from even just the first treatment .. Even if you just go for a massage you aren't going to get one any where else for the price and you are helping a student learn ..
