BACKGROUND & EDUCATION

From a young age, Jenna was naturally interested in medicine and early life experiences led her onto a path of healing and wisdom traditions from different parts of the world. She has been deeply nourished by learning and working with multi-dimensional traditions of knowledge and medicine which view the universe and life as holistic and interconnected, the material and subtle realms co-existing together and the body is a vehicle for the spirit.

Jenna’s teachers include Quechua Andean healers from Peru, Vilma Pinedo and Don Mariano Quispe Flores. In 2010, she spent a month immersed in the Andes studying one-on-one with Q’ero Paqos (healers) in the area around Cuzco, the Sacred Valley and Q’olloriti. Jenna has also studied with Rainbow Jaguar Institute, the Heart of the Healer and certified in Energy Medicine through the Healing the Light Body School, Four Winds Society (2007-2009).

Jyotisha Vidya (Vedic Astrology) has been a long-time interest and Jenna has deepened in her studies of this ancient Vidya (knowledge) through years of continuous study with Eve Mendoza since 2022.

Her influences include: Western & Chinese herbal medicine, multiple traditions of Acupuncture & East Asian Medicine including Classical Chinese Medicine, Five Element, Japanese, TCM, Tai Ji & Qi Gong, essential oils and gemstones from a Chinese Medicine perspective, Yoga, Massage, CranioSacral therapy, sound & vibration, Maya Abdominal Therapy & Maya Spiritual Healing via Rosita Arvigo from her teachers don Elijio Panti and Miss Hortence Robinson. Ongoing continuing education and experiences are part of her love of lifelong learning.

Jenna holds a BA in Psychology & Women's Studies from Wayne State University (1998) and a Master of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine (2004). Jenna is Nationally Board Certified by the NCBAHM (NCCAOM) and is also a Licensed Acupuncturist (UT). She shifted away from clinical acupuncture practice at the end of 2021 and currently offers consultations and sessions online.
