Jennifer Aquilina
Jenna is a life long learner who’s been weaving healing arts alchemy from diverse experiences and teachings for 20+ years. She received Energy Medicine Certification in 2009 from the Four Winds Society and then began studying directly with master healers (Paqos) from the Q’ero lineage who are descended from the Inka. In August of 2010, Jenna traveled to Peru, spending a month immersed with Q’ero teachings in the area around Cuzco, the Sacred Valley and Q’olloriti. She’s continued her studies since then through Q’ero teachings and classes with Don Mariano Quispe Flores.
Her background includes working with Energy Medicine and Acupuncture & East Asian Medicine with private practice clients, in 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, women's menstrual and reproductive health, menopause, fertility, obstetrics and labor initiation, post partum, injuries, wellness, colds and flu, shingles and adjunct treatment for serious conditions.
Jenna earned a Master's of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in 2004 and is Nationally Board Certified by the NCCAOM. She holds a BA in Psychology and Women's Studies from Wayne State University in 1998 and completed an internship with a Women's Shelter in First Response, Advocacy and Crisis Line as part of her degree.
Since 2005, much of her continuing education in Holistic and East Asian Medicine has focused on energetically based modalities - different styles of Energy Medicine, Shamanic Healing, Channeling, Craniosacral Therapy, Maya Abdominal Therapy, Maya Spiritual healing, Sound Healing, integrating stones and essential oils with acupoints. She also has a background with Western and Chinese Herbal Medicine, Nutrition and Nutraceuticals.
In her thirst for knowledge, she’s traveled in Peru, Brazil and Mexico and all over the USA, so far. Learning from many wonderful teachers over the years, she sees the unity, beauty, truth and threads of connection in traditions from all over the world.
In 2022, Jenna began deepening in her studies of Jyotisha Vidya, which is the Vedic Science of Astrology. Jyotish has been a long time interest since being introduced to it in 2002 and then beginning to explore it more deeply in 2010. She is particularly interested in medical jyotish and how imprints and karma from past lives impact and shape our current incarnation and experiences.
