Jennifer Aquilina
Jenna Aquilina M.Ac.OM, Dipl.Ac, L.Ac is a life long learner who weaves healing arts alchemy from diverse experiences and teachings she’s gained over 30+ years. She began this journey long ago, as a child with an intense interest in medicine and sensitivity to non-visible realms. As she observed and experienced health challenges in herself and others, it led her to herbalism, a more holistic lifestyle and ancient medicine traditions from other parts of the world.
She completed the Healing the Light Body School Energy Medicine Certification in 2009 with the Four Winds Society. After that, she began studying directly with master healers (Paqos) from the Q’ero lineage. In August 2010, Jenna traveled to Peru and spent a month immersed one-on-one with Q’ero teachings in the area around Cuzco, the Sacred Valley and Q’olloriti. She’s continued her studies with Q’ero teachings and Don Mariano Quispe Flores. In 2019 she traveled to Brazil to explore mediumship and spiritualism at the Casa Dom Inacio. Since then her work has been continuously evolving through experiences.
Over the years she’s worked with a diverse array of folks in various settings from community acupuncture clinics, medical offices, birthing centers, spas and addiction recovery centers. She’s been honored to work with clients on healing and recovery from a wide range of concerns including chronic illness, anxiety, grief and trauma, ancestral and lineage work, women's menstrual and reproductive health, menopause, fertility, obstetrics, labor initiation and birthing support, post-partum care, injuries, wellness, colds and flu, shingles and adjunct treatment for serious conditions.
Jyotisha Vidya (Vedic Astrology) has been a long-time interest, and in 2022 Jenna began deepening in her studies through a lunar nakshatra-based system that views the life through cycles of time called dashas. Her focus is medical jyotish and how imprints and karma from past lives impact and shape our current incarnation and experiences.
Additonal influences from her backgroud are Classical Chinese Medicine, integrating stones and essential oils with treatments, Western and Chinese Herbalism, Craniosacral Therapy, sound & vibration, food as medicine, Maya Spiritual Healing & Maya Abdominal Therapy from Don Elijio Panti and Miss Hortense Robinson through Rosita Arvigo. She participates in continuing education classes each year.
She holds a BA in Psychology and Women's Studies from Wayne State University and earned a Master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine. She is Nationally Board Certified by the NCBAHM (NCCAOM). She practiced as an licensed acupuncturist from 2005 till the end of 2021 and then fully shifted her focus to energy medicine and online sessions.
Her work is guided by seeing the unity, beauty, truth and threads of connection in traditions from all over the world. Honoring the Earth and Stars and all the elements that live within us as part of the universe.
