Chinese Medicine Practitioners
Jennifer Jones
Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist
Jennifer discovered TCM in her teens, when acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine became the keys to her recovery from debilitating migraines; she also became fascinated with oriental mythology at a young age. Jen enrolled in the TCM degree offered by UTS immediately after finishing high school, which she successfully completed in 2006. She undertook a clinical internship at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital in Chaoyang, Beijing, China.
Jen has been practicing in and around the eastern suburbs of Sydney since 2007. She has worked alongside physiotherapists, osteopaths, naturopaths and podiatrists in several holistic health clinics.
Drawing on her remedial massage skills, Jen uses a tactile approach to her gentle acupuncture treatments to locate blockages and release them with acupuncture. Jen has a special interest in women’s health and fertility, migraines, facial rejuvenation and sports injuries.
Outside of the clinic, Jen is a busy mamma with her 6 year old twin daughters, and loves gardening, cooking, making people laugh, and planning the next motorhome adventure.
