Wenatchee Community Acupuncture
21 Orondo St, Wenatchee, WA, 98801
Wenatchee Community Acupuncture was founded in 2020 by Jill after she ran a successful community acupuncture clinic in Delaware, Ohio for six years. She graduated from the University of Washington with a bachelor’s in Psychology, holds a MSW from Indiana University and completed her Chinese Medicine training at the American Institute for Alternative Medicine in Columbus, Ohio and Daoist Traditions in Asheville, North Carolina. Jill is also a 200-hour certified Kundalini Yoga teacher from IKYTA. Jill is deeply influenced and indebted to a diverse array of teachers, especially Jeffrey Yuen, Pema Chödrön and, more recently, Lama Rod Owens, Tara Brach and Lama Tsultrim Allione. The greatest teachers in her life have been her two sons, now young men. Jill’s operating philosophy as an Acupuncturist - and as a human being - is rooted in all of these guides and their encouragement for constant personal growth and self-cultivation in order to be of benefit to others. Jill is also indebted to the People’s Organization of Community Acupuncture, an organization that facilitates the development of community acupuncture clinics across the United States and internationally. Her heroes are activists of all kinds and ordinary people who have overcome extraordinary challenges. Jill’s education, experience and 25+ year meditation practice has provided her with a deep reverence for the interconnectedness of health and well-being both within the individual and as it relates to their experience with the outside world. Every service and class she offers is infused with this devotional understanding. When Jill is not at Wenatchee Community Acupuncture, she can be found hiking, getting her ass kicked at CrossFit, practicing (and sometimes teaching) yoga and Buddhist-inspired meditation, working with the Compassion Prison Project, building fires, listening to some epic Spotify playlists, gardening, writing, hanging out with a diverse set of kindred spirits and loving on her sons.
Stone medicine (the alchemical use of crystals, metals and other substances) has been around for thousands of years. In Classical Chinese Medicine, stones are known for working with the deepest energetic layers of the body - the Yuan Qi. The application of stones on the body, grinding them up for poulstices, making stone grids for energetic protection or intention holding and the use of stone elixirs are all tools that we can use to effect electro-magnetic changes in our internal and external environments. A Stone Medicine consultation will include an introduction to the theory, application and use of stones as well as a "prescription" specifically for you. Jill has been a collector of stones and shells since she was a young child and her more recent Stone Medicine training has been with Jeffrey Yuen, Classical Chinese Medicine scholar, practitioner and the 88th lineage holder of the Jade Purity School of Daoism and Sarah Thomas, LAc of Upper Clarity School of Stone Medicine. Consultations do not include actual stones, books or acupuncture but does include recommended resources for people to purchase them.
