All paths have led to here—
—It is not by coincidence that we find each other in this time & space, the here & now—I am humbled and honored to be gifted this opportunity to witness and collaborate with you …once again.

Jen’s particular treatment style blends the following perspectives:
From a cultural perspective, Jen remembers witnessing her grandfather perform fire cupping and utilize liniments to manage day-to-day life. She watched her grandmother incorporate food therapy intuitively as she nourished her entire family of refugees. With reverence & desire to more deeply honor and reconnect with her heritage and roots, Chinese medicine seemed a most exciting choice for Jen’s ongoing life’s work. In many ways, this medicine feels like a remembrance, and she is grateful to be here again with you.

CLASSICAL FIVE ELEMENT ACUPUNCTURE
Jen is a certified practitioner in Classical Five Element Acupuncture through her apprenticeship with Dr. Brian Bender, a master-level practitioner and teacher with years of embodied experience in the study of Zen and five element medicine. Classical Five Element is said to be a shamanic branch of Taoist medicine, and it is a powerful lineage tradition which aligns profoundly with Jen’s spirit. Her treatment style deeply focuses on spiritual and emotional alignment alongside physical wellbeing.
When we can see our own spirit clearly, all else falls into alignment within the grand harmony of life.
Classical Five Element Acupuncture weaves in elemental rebalancing with the body’s innate ability to remember its own wisdom and wholeness. When you experience this particular style of acupuncture, you might notice a stark difference in how the treatment itself focuses on healing at the deepest layer of self, of truth.
Classical Five Element is foundational in Jen’s treatment approach to healing and wholeness.

CLASSICAL CHINESE MEDICINE
Jen is a practitioner in an ongoing advanced acupuncture mentorship with Ann Cecil-Sterman, where she continues to cultivate deep proficiency as a channel practitioner through the study and embodiment of the complete classical system, and through this profound lineage of Taoist medicine. This practice of the complete channel system is a foundational return of acupuncture to its pre-Han Dynasty classical roots. Classical Chinese Medicine incorporates the full spectrum of the Complement Channels of Acupuncture which include: Sinew, Luo, Divergent, and the Eight Extraordinary Channels along with advanced pulse and tongue diagnosis. Jen has found that Classical Chinese Medicine is particularly powerful in addressing a complete scope of the human experience, and far beyond—including but not limited to: physical pain, mental-emotional disharmony, chronic degenerative conditions, childhood conditions, trauma, and much more.

NUANCED NAVIGATION OF: FERTILITY PLANNING, PREGNANCY SUPPORT, POSTPARTUM, MATRESCENCE + BEYOND
In this lifetime, Jen has also overcome her own obstacles of the womb, and has spent time and energy navigating the delicate blend & aid of both Western and Eastern medicines.
Faced with a physical history of complex uterine fibroids, which led to several blood transfusions, hospital visits, uterine surgery & planned cesarean delivery—as well as nuanced navigation of all things related to fertility, pregnancy, postpartum & beyond—Jen has a very direct and personal interest in working with all who are on the tender path to healing & loving the Sacred Womb, and especially with those who are powerfully calling in their spirit babies.
