I’m Mélanie (Mel), a non-binary, queer and neurodivergent registered acupuncturist dedicated to providing individualized care at Roncy’s Apothecary & Clinic and Map Your Body, located at two convenient locations in both midtown and the west end of Toronto.
My journey into acupuncture began with my own positive experience receiving regular acupuncture treatments. I felt validated and well-cared for by my acupuncturist and their holistic approach to healing. This led me to pursue acupuncture, where I could offer treatments which accommodate each person’s specific needs and goals.
Since late 2019, I have been fortunate to practice acupuncture in high volume community acupuncture and multidisciplinary clinics, offering several hundreds of treatments each year. Because of my background in community acupuncture, where I offered a high volume of treatments in busy clinics, I am experienced in treating a wide range of conditions.
Before my acupuncture training, I went to professional dance school and then studied cabinetmaking. Ultimately I was inspired by other amazing acupuncturists and traditional Chinese medicine practitioners to assist others on their healing journeys. In my down time I like to engage in creative pursuits such as songwriting and playing music, I also enjoy baking, being outdoors and spending time with my dog, Eddy Bear.
