Jen graduated from the Acupuncture program at Eight Branches Academy of Eastern Medicine in 2016 and is a registered member of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario (CTCMPAO). She is clinically trained in Chinese and Japanese acupuncture techniques, electro-acupuncture, cupping, guasha, Tuina, and moxibustion.
From the onset of her training it has been her ambition to focus her expertise in reproductive health, pregnancy care, and fertility. She is a warm, compassionate practitioner, who believes patient education integrated with treatments is essential to achieve internal balance for successful conception and a healthy pregnancy.
Prior to studying acupuncture, she received a diploma in Social Service Work and went on to travel the world. It was while living in Sichuan, China where she experienced the benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine first hand.
“Meeting a health practitioner whose methods of healing focused on my mind, body, and lifestyle, and not just the resulting illness fascinated me. I experienced on a personal level how this approach to medicine benefits long-term health. I knew then, that I wanted to learn more about the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine and to help people achieve optimal health, and well-being through this holistic way of healing”
When Jen’s not working, you can find her sitting in a park with her head in a book, hiking or biking along many of Toronto’s nature trails, or enjoying a good meal and a good laugh with loved ones.
