Acupuncture has been effective in treating chronic and painful debilitating disorders, which have no clear explanation or origin. Many who are not experiencing disease also seek treatment to maximize their wellness and maintain balance. The greatest reason to begin acupuncture treatment is to cultivate vitality and radiant health and to stimulate the tremendous healing power of the body, mind, and spirit.

This highly effective system of medical care is based on natural laws, which govern the movement of vital life-giving energy, both in nature and in the body. This energy, called “chi”, moves through the body in precise channels supporting functions of the body, mind, and spirit. When the chi is moving dis-harmoniously, imbalance begins to surface in the form of symptoms like pain. To address the underlying cause of a condition, these symptoms are viewed in relationship to the totality of a person. The gentle insertion of hair-thin needles at specific points along the channels helps restore harmony.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal medicine is one of the main forms of treatment in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). TCM’s written history stretches back at least 2,500 years.

Chinese herbal medicine is one of the main forms of treatment in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). TCM’s written history stretches back at least 2,500 years. Although acupuncture had been the first Chinese medical modality to gain acceptance in the West, Chinese herbal medicine is quickly becoming one of the most popular and effective complementary therapies.

Chinese herbology compliments acupuncture treatments and in some cases is superior to acupuncture. Chinese herbal medicine is a poly-pharmacy, meaning multiple herbs are combined into one formula. By using this form of medicine the herbs synergistically work together to heighten the effect of each medicinal or counteract any undesirable effect. Patients find that results are achieved more quickly when acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine are used together.

The Chinese materia medica (a pharmacological reference book used by TCM practitioners) contains hundreds of medicinal substances-primarily plants, but also some minerals and animal products-classified by their perceived action in the body. Different parts of plants such as the leaves, roots, stems, flowers, and seeds are used. Usually, herbs are combined in formulas and given as teas, capsules, tinctures, or powders.

Yoga Nidra and Group Acupuncture

The transition into autumn is a time for letting go and finding inspiration. During this process, we often feel compelled to slow down, rest more, and reflect on the state of our well-being. We feel empowered for positive change and a willingness to let go of all the things that no longer serve us.

The transition into autumn is a time for letting go and finding inspiration. During this process, we often feel compelled to slow down, rest more, and reflect on the state of our well-being. We feel empowered for positive change and a willingness to let go of all the things that no longer serve us. Jen Stukey has designed a special workshop that combines the healing qualities of Yoga Nidra and Acupuncture to relax, liberate, and inspire you. Each participant will receive an acupuncture treatment followed by a yoga nidra practice (meditation-based deep relaxation technique).

This workshop is intended for all, no yoga experience is necessary.

Hello and thank you for allowing me the opportunity to share with you about myself and my practice.

I have been treating patients since 2004 and have performed over 10,000 acupuncture treatments.

My Chinese medicine practice focuses on women’s health, whether physical or emotional, I am dedicated to helping women live a life of joy and ease. I am currently treating women for Infertility, Menstrual Symptoms, Gynecological Disorders, Headaches, Back Aches, Muscular Skeletal Pain, Emotional Disorders, Insomnia, and many other health issues.

I continue to pursue education that focuses on women’s health and I observe my patients achieving their goals by the beautiful weave of traditional and complementary medicine.

Prior to receiving my Master’s of Acupuncture degree, I earned my Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Maryland Baltimore County. Immediately after graduation, I started the three-and-a-half-year Masters of Acupuncture program at the Maryland University of Integrative Health (formerly known as Tai Sophia Institute), which is the oldest and first accredited acupuncture program in the United States.

I am a licensed acupuncturist and received National Board Certification through the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). I also have proctored the Clean Needle Technique exam portion of the NCCAOM.

I completed a two-and-a-half-year program in Chinese Herbal Medicine also at MUIH. I hold a 660-hour certification in Chinese Herbal Medicine. This combination with my acupuncture degree has granted me a Masters of Oriental Medicine. In 2012, I had the honor of becoming a clinical supervisor for the Maryland University of Integrative Health in the Chinese Herbal Medicine clinic.

While in acupuncture school I completed a ten-month yoga teacher-training program at the Columbia Yoga Center in which I became a Registered Yoga Teacher at the 200-hour level (RYT ® 200). Since I have taught over 1,000 hours of yoga, I am now an E-RYT® 200 which allows me to provide continuing education to registered yoga teachers and lead teacher training programs.

In 2016, I received the SmartCEO Brava Award. The Brava Awards program celebrates high-impact female business leaders. Brava award winners combine their irrepressible entrepreneurial spirit with a passion for giving back to the community and are exemplary leaders of both their companies and their communities. They encourage local philanthropy, mentor up-and-coming leaders, and set their companies on the path to tremendous growth.

In the summer of 2019, I had the opportunity of doing an internship in the Labor and Delivery unit of NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn. I was able to be present to and support the birthing process of several women with acupuncture, acupressure, and massage techniques. I learned to understand the phases of delivery from a Yin/Yang theory. The training included labor preparation through the postpartum period using acupressure, bodywork, auriculotherapy, and moxibustion to support and encourage healthy labor. I also got the opportunity to observe a c-section of twins during this internship.

I am excited to offer you the power of relationship-centered healing. Through my experience as both a patient and as a practitioner, I have experienced the transformational results of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine treatments. At the core of all treatments is respect
