Description of Practice: Jennifer L Fockler, LAc
My goal is to help you achieve optimum health and wellness. Through working with my patients I have seen the impressive results that acupuncture and Chinese medicine can have. I am grateful to be able to share the benefit of my extensive education with you. My background includes training not only in acupuncture, but in a wide array of Chinese medicine modalities. I am licensed by the state and recognized by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).
My journey into healthcare began in my teens when I gave up eating meat. I was always concerned about how the environment and what we eat can affect our bodies and minds. And after watching a family member struggle to find help in the western medical world, I knew there had to be a different way to find relief and move towards real healing.
My love for the arts and humanities had me studying art history as an undergraduate, and I dabbled in jewelry design and interior design. But I eventually realized that my true calling was to turn my 'unconventional' interests and lifestyle into a tool to help other people. And really, that's what this life is all about.
I am a graduate of Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, Chicago. A rigorous program of over 3000 hours, with over 500 clinic hours. I am a certified NCCAOM Herbalist, and really believe in the power of plants. I also believe in the power of people and volunteer at Project Vida, offering acupuncture to an underserviced community in need.
Your unique health care situation is of the utmost importance to me. I am happy to answer any questions you may have regarding how acupuncture and Chinese medicine can benefit you. Together we can work toward achieving your health and wellness goals.
I consider it an honor to walk alongside my patients' on their journey and I hope that my small contribution can make a positive change.
