JENNIFER TAYLOR | L.Ac., MSTCM (she/her) With over 18 years of clinical experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Jennifer has worked with an extensive range of conditions including orthopedic/ musculoskeletal imbalances and women’s health related issues. After sustaining a debilitating shoulder injury while working in Outdoor Education over 20 years ago, she came to this medicine and health modality out of necessity. In acute daily pain, she stumbled upon a miracle worker who performed acupuncture and cupping, and, Wow! She was hooked! Experiencing the powerful and healing benefits of Chinese Medicine along with its elegant simplicity has been both inspiring and truly transformative. During her studies at Five Branches Institute in Santa Cruz, she completed advanced clinical internships in orthopedics and also studied under several professors in the Gynecology Dept. completing her Masters Degree in 2005. As a long time OCA practitioner and fellow colleague, she has continued her orthopedic training under the guidance of Chris Randle learning and implementing more specialized sports techniques. Her other life long passion, though, remains working with Women in all the stages of life, using both acupuncture and nutritional and herbal medicine therapies to further support healing. Jennifer treats teens, women during pregnancy and postpartum care, and during fertility preparation, women experiencing hormonal imbalances and conditions such as migraines, acne, anxiety/ depression as well as perimenopausal and menopausal conditions. Helping to improve the quality of life for all of her patients with compassionate and skilled care has been her life-long goal. With the body of wisdom and teachings that TCM provides, she hopes to continue in that goal.
