Jenny Hammerstein MD is a certified Worsley Classical Five-Element Acupuncturist (WCF-EA) as well as a US board certified Family Practitioner. Jenny was drawn to WCF-EA after experiencing how treatment changed her life and seeing that it changes people's lives in ways Western Medicine can't. It focuses on identifying and treating the core energetic imbalance. In treating this core imbalance, not only can identified symptoms improve or resolve, but the client can find help in clearing mental or emotional blocks that hold him/her back from achieving personal life goals. Jenny is constantly awed by the types of changes reported by the patient such as "I feel like myself again" "I am not confused anymore" or "My emotions don't overwhelm me now." There are also improvements in physical symptoms, without the use of medications. At the same time, Jenny is still a physician and is alert to conditions that might benefit from a Western medicine evaluation or treatment. Jenny's beginning in the medical field was as a dietitian. She qualified for her RD in 1994 and earned her MS in Nutrition in 1996 at California State University in Los Angeles. After practicing for a few years and finding it ultimately limiting, she went to Yale School of Medicine where she received her MD in 2002. She completed her residency in family practice at South Nassau Communities Hospital in Long Island. From residency, she was hired by the hospital for their outpatient clinic, where she worked for a year and a half. She then moved to Passaic where she had a successful solo medical practice from 2007 to 2011 at which point she made Aliyah with her family. In Israel, she worked with AIM, a private health insurance, taking care of seminary students from 2013 to 2016. During that time she trained privately in F-EA with Raizel Devorah Masail. After completing training, she started practicing acupuncture and did frequent continuing education in the US and in England with the Worsley Institute (for Worsley Classical Five-Element Acupuncture.) During the Covid Pandemic she repeated the full Worsley Institute Training (WIT), receiving her certificate in 2023. She has a practice in Jerusalem and is excited to be expanding her practice to Ramat Beit Shemesh at 2nd Nature Healing Center.
