I was born and raised in Sainte-Pazanne, France-a small town a few kilometers from Nantes-near the Atlantic Ocean. My journey starts like many others, who are led to their calling for reasons that are profound and meaningful. I was 12 years old when I was first introduced to Acupuncture and its inherent ability to help nurture, heal, and transform emotional trauma.
Following the tragic death of my grandfather, my grandmother entered a space of deep depression. Ten years later, after having exhausted the resources conventional medicine had to offer, she made the decision to meet with an acupuncturist. It was then that her path to healing-and my commitment to Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine-began.

Honesty and integrity about what I am able to treat and support you with my expertise, as well as the amount of visits needed, will be clearly stated. My goal is to convey and educate you on the extensive paradigm that Chinese medicine represents. I will talk about your treatment plan explicitly and without ambiguity.
Classical Chinese Medicine invites you to explore the essence of Oriental medicine from a perspective that goes far beyond the institutionalized phenomenon presently known as "TCM" (Traditional Chinese Medicine).
Since the 1970s, the TCM process of packaging the multi-faceted roots of Chinese medicine into the sterile confines of a highly standardized model has been eagerly absorbed by educational institutions in Europe and America; and is rapidly becoming the dominant face of Oriental medicine today.

In Chinese Medicine, it is believed that the appearance of your tongue is a reflection of your health and can be a powerful diagnostic tool. Tongue diagnosis is a very traditional and effective method, which has been used to diagnose diseases for over two thousand years. Knowledge of tongue diagnosis is one of the unique treasures of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Your practitioner utilizes sterile disposable needles to access the patient's "QI" or "vital energy". The needles are placed in points found along the channels that run throughout the entire body. The channels are connected to internal organs as well as to the exterior body (skin, tendons, muscles, sensory organs.).
Herbal Medicine is a safe and natural treatment for many common health conditions. Chinese herbs are prescribed by your board-certified herbalist. They are dispensed as formulas specially tailored to treat your symptoms as well as your constitutional diagnosis. We supply patent formulas in capsule and caplet form, as well as topical pain plasters and ointments.

My therapist laughed (in a good way) when I told her I seriously looked up whether acupuncture is addictive after my session. I wanted to just go walk on the stream banks and among the flowers at Lee Martinez farm after my session. I am constantly ALWAYS go go go go, yet spending 30-40 minutes on the table with only my pressures from work to occupy my mind wasn't even a challenge. I'm a top level executive in biotech with a Ph.D. in biochemistry and I don't trust anything I can't understand except this now, and probably only this practitioner. It was too profound a difference in overall mood and

JC is the most attentive, caring, and talented acupuncture practitioner I've experienced. He took ample time to understand my background and goals, his placement of needles felt accurate and effective, and his practice of checking on clients in mid-session after needle placement to check pulse and adjust needles (if needed), further demonstrated his authentic interest to ensure his patients receive high quality treatment. In addition to having a beautiful treatment space, his location near Lee Martinez park provides easy opportunities to go for a stroll and absorb his work after a session. I highly

JC's desire to help his patients and restore their health is genuine. He listens to your experiences carefully, takes detailed notes, remembers pertinent details across multiple sessions, and considers and even recommends supplementary treatment options to formulate an optimal recovery plan. You would be hard-pressed to find a more caring and attentive person anywhere.

JC is the absolute best acupuncturist in Fort Collins. I moved from NC and tried 3 different acupuncturist before I found him ! My old acupuncturist was great but JC was fantastic ! Definitely knows his stuff. So sad I moved away. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, professional and friendly acupuncturist that helps you get the results your looking for then definitely go see Jean- Christophe .

I can't say enough positive things about JC. I've been a patient of his for MANY years. He's helped me through many health concerns both big and small from allergies, migraines, digestive health, women's health issues and others. He is so knowledgeable and works to treat to true root of your health concerns, not just the symptoms. You will not find a more skilled practitioner, I HIGHLY recommend!
