About Gord

Welcome!

I’m Gord Grant (Ph.D., R.Ac.), and my work is about helping people restore strength, balance, and well-being — wherever they’re starting from.

With a background in science, beekeeping, and acupuncture, I’ve learned that real progress comes from listening not only to your symptoms, but also to your story and your unique nature — the details and priorities that guide you, known only to you — and building the right support to address both immediate concerns and underlying issues.

A calling shaped by science and nature

In my 20s I researched bee diseases; in my 30s I built and ran a large scale commercial bee farm; in my 40s I returned to research with a food focus. Since my 50s, and now into my 60s, I’ve practiced acupuncture while still keeping honey bees, and more recently, fostering habitat for Alberta’s indigenous solitary bees.

My family and community remain central to who I am, but work has always been its own calling.  I don’t see myself retiring — this work keeps me curious, engaged and fulfilled.  Each step has taught me something about resilience, renewal, and how our choices shape our health. This same approach helps me engage in life and stay connected to what matters most — in myself and in others.

What patients can expect

When you come in, you’ll be treated as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms. Each session is adapted to your situation, with attention to comfort, communication, and changes you can notice in daily life. The goal isn’t just relief, but steady progress in both your symptoms and your overall sense of well-being.

The clinic itself is part of your care — a space filled with art, plants, music, a water feature, and even a small library.  Many people come early or stay afterward simply to enjoy the calm, have a tea, or engage with books and art.

My approach

I combine proven methods — acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, and a gentle style of dry needling — with the expertise I’ve gained from both science and experience. My goal is not just short-term relief, but lasting progress in your health and well-being.

Why I do this work

I’ve seen in myself, in my bees, and in my patients that health and life are never static. Health and life are always evolving — a process of adapting and renewing.  Sometimes the shifts are small, sometimes they’re profound. For some, it’s simply about easing pain or improving function in daily life. For others, it’s part of a larger journey toward long-term balance and strength.

My motivation is to meet people where they are, and to help them find a way forward that feels true and makes sense in their lives.

Next Steps
