Hi, I’m Jen I am a Dr. of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, and I am so glad you are looking to find health and wellness in your life. From a very young age, I knew I wanted to help others. Growing up with a chronically ill mother I was exposed to the medical system on a daily basis. Growing up around painkillers and prescriptions, doctors and homecare workers, studying nursing seemed like the obvious career path.

Having worked in long term and palliative care facilities, as well as home care and doctor’s offices, I have witnessed people in all stages of health, illness, birth, and death. Through my experiences, I saw that while conventional medical therapies did save many lives, there was a disturbing trend of over -medicating and under- nourishing. I came to a troubling conclusion; the system I was working for was not, in fact, a health care system but rather an illness treatment system. I wondered “Why not try to maintain one’s health BEFORE illness, rather than wait until it was too late?”

My search for a more holistic form of medicine brought me to MacEwan University’s Acupuncture program, and while reading my first text on the modality, I knew I had found my Dharma (life’s purpose).

I am excited to bring my experience in conventional medicine, my love of eastern philosophy, and passion for natural healing to the residents of Sherwood Park and greater Edmonton area. I strive to bring you a unique, heartfelt and gentle healing experience specialized to address and balance the WHOLE person, body, mind, and spirit.
