Dr. Jessica is the owner of Botanical Point, a Registered Doctor of Acupuncture, Certified Personal Trainer, 300hour Yoga Teacher, Certified Sports Nutritionist, and received honours in Advanced Facial Therapy. Dr. Jessica’s journey to opening Botanical Point was one of self discovery. In 2015 she signed up for Yoga Teacher Training, interested in learning more about spirituality and the ego. This course also unintentionally blossomed her interest in anatomy and physiology which guided her to sign up for a Bachelor of Science. It was during her Bachelor studies she enrolled in an Ancient Medicine class. This class focused on the concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which immediately captivated Dr. Jessica. Two days into the course she purchased a TCM philosophy book written by two of the foremost American educators and healers in the Chinese medical profession, Between Heaven and Earth by Harriet Beinfield and Efrem Korngold. After reading the book, Dr. Jessica knew this was her calling, and she registered herself into a 4 year TCM course in Nelson, BC. It was during school, Jessica wanted to deepen her knowledge of functional anatomy and physiology beyond the scope of Acupuncture, so she became a certified Personal Trainer and a certified Sports Nutritionist. She used the knowledge she gained to rehab her old sports injuries, exercise muscles correctly in the gym and nourish them optimally in the kitchen. Now she uses this knowledge to heal her clients that have sports related injuries and pain. The skin is the largest organ of the body and has perplexed Jessica throughout her life as she has always struggled with sensitive skin. After studying internal medicine with TCM, Dr. Jessica was able to subdue her own skin concerns with herbal medicine and Acupuncture. That is until the 2020 pandemic brought with it - maskne (also known as mechanical acne). Again, seeking the knowledge to cure, Dr. Jessica enrolled at the Esthetic Institute to study Medical Esthetics. Here she learned how to analyze skin, use professional products and treat the skin topically for an abundance of skin related concerns. Now she is able to combine her knowledge of Eastern TCM and Western Medicine Esthetics to heal each client from the inside-out and amplify their inner beauty. Dr. Jessica is very passionate about sharing her knowledge and implementing different tools from both Eastern Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine to treat each person individually. However Dr. Jessica is most passionate about (and continuing her education within) the fields of medical esthetics, fertility, sports medicine, nutrition and TCM herbal formulas.
