Jen is a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist who is focused on maintaining a compassionate healing space to provide the tools you need for wellness and self-care. Jen is originally from the Midwest and lived in a variety of places before falling in love with Oregon.

Her interest in Chinese Medicine came from her study of Buddhism, Taoism, and the human body. She graduated from Sierra Nevada College in Lake Tahoe with a BA in Ski Business & Resort Management, focusing on her active lifestyle in the mountains and working in the ski industry for several years before discovering her passion for Chinese Medicine. While living in Lake Tahoe, she interned with two wonderful doctors of Chinese Medicine who focused on an array of different ailments, including athletic performance. After working in their clinics for two years, and seeing the improvements patients experienced, she moved up to Portland, Oregon to pursue her own Master's Degree in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine.

Post acupuncture school, Jen worked in a remote clinic in Nepal for several months treating a wide array of ailments with the Acupuncture Relief project (2017). She has taken workshops on acupuncture + emotional health, and attended fertility conferences. Currently, she is doing an apprenticeship with Whitfield Reaves L.Ac. with a focus in Sports Medicine. While not working, Jen loves to be playing in the mountains with her family, attending workshops, and cooking healthy delicious food.

Jen’s treatments include acupuncture and may include one or more of the following modalities: electro-stim, cupping, moxa therapy, infrared heat therapy, and herbal formulas. Her focus is treating musculo-skeletal pain and dysfunction (low back pain, neck, work related back and shoulder pain, numbness/tingling nerve syndromes, bursitis, arthritis,etc) migraines, headaches, stress related health issues, woman's health (fertility, PMS, hormone regulation, menopausal symptoms, acne).

In Jennifer's words, "I promise to actively listen, maintain a compassionate healing space, and work with you to provide tools for wellness and self-care. I am here for you."
