Services

Acupuncture

Acupuncture uses ultra-fine needles at specific body points to stimulate healing and balance energy flow. This ancient practice effectively addresses chronic pain, stress, and hormonal imbalances by activating the body's natural painkillers and improving circulation. Patients experience relief from conditions like migraines, joint pain, and digestive issues through personalized treatment plans.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy employs controlled suction to enhance circulation and relieve muscle tension. This technique effectively reduces pain from chronic conditions while promoting relaxation by improving blood flow and releasing tight muscle knots. Patients benefit from immediate relief of shoulder and back pain through this non-invasive, drug-free approach.

Herbal Medicine

Customized herbal formulations combine traditional Chinese botanical knowledge with modern research to address specific health concerns. These natural solutions target both symptoms and root causes of conditions like digestive disorders and hormonal imbalances. Patients receive personalized prescriptions that complement other treatments for comprehensive wellness outcomes.

Microneedling

Microneedling creates micro-injuries to stimulate collagen production and skin renewal. This treatment effectively reduces fine lines, improves skin texture, and diminishes acne scars through controlled healing responses. Patients achieve smoother, more youthful-looking skin with visible improvements after multiple sessions.

Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths to enhance cellular function and skin health. This non-thermal treatment promotes collagen production, reduces inflammation, and improves skin texture. Patients benefit from non-invasive anti-aging effects and accelerated healing for various skin conditions through regular sessions.

I have been seeing Jennifer for over 2 years. I love her practice. She is very helpful with my headaches, back and neck pains. I have done acupuncture and cupping as well which I find as a great additional treatment to acupuncture. Jennifer also carries Chinese herbs and some supplements so which is very convenient. Highly recommended.

Just over a year ago, I went see Jennifer for cupping and much needed upper back pain relief. After only one session, I felt so much better! I continued to visit her office regularly and started incorporating acupuncture into the sessions. Initially, I was really nervous, but now I'm hooked. My life long problematic skin is now perfect, my digestion is regular, I sleep better, PMS is less stressful, and I'm no longer in chronic pain. If you want to improve the quality of your life, I highly recommend Jennifer and TCM!

I tried acupuncture with other practitioners before but never saw any results; however, that wasn't the case with Jennifer. After one session, I experienced pain-free movement in my wrists for the first time in a long time. Her office is very inviting and peaceful; her procedure room is clean and comfortable and Jennifer's a caring and skillful practitioner. If you're looking for medication-free pain relief, I recommend scheduling a session with Jennifer.

I've been seeing Jenny for 6 weeks for chronic tailbone pain that I've had for a year and a half. I tried chiropractic medicine and physical therapy, neither relieved my pain. The orthopedic surgeon suggested a cortisone injection. He said it was my only option to get relief. Instead of going through with the injection, a friend suggested I see Jenny and I'm so glad I did. I have been without pain for 4 weeks.

She is incredibly intelligent and professional. I was amazed with the results I experienced after the first visit. I thought I was going to suffer from this pain for the rest of my life, which I probably would have if it weren't from Jenny. I highly recommend consulting with her before considering any invasive surgical procedure. She's truly a superb clinician!

Jenny is quite simply a life saver. Very professional, very knowledgeable, very friendly and very welcoming. I would recommend her to anyone, especially any of my female friends who might be suffering from fertility issues or hormone imbalances.
