We’re thrilled to welcome Jessica to the team at Acupuncture for Balanced Wellness!

With over 15 years of clinical experience, Jessica blends acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and nutritional guidance to support the body’s innate ability to heal. She has helped patients find relief from chronic pain, injuries, hormonal imbalances, fertility challenges, autoimmune conditions, digestive concerns, and mental-emotional stress — as well as providing compassionate care for women through all phases of life, including pre- and postnatal support.

Jessica’s approach is rooted in ancient traditions and enriched by modern understanding. Her background in bodywork and two decades of clinical experience have deepened her appreciation of the mind–body connection and refined her intuitive, patient-centered care.
She earned her Master’s in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences in Oakland, CA, and is an NCCAOM Diplomate of Oriental Medicine. Much of her professional focus has been on pain management and women’s health.
Deeply interested in somatic movement and meditation, Jessica integrates these principles into her holistic approach to healing.

Jessica is seeing patients at our Chicago Loop office on Mondays & Thursdays.

🌿✨ Exciting News! ✨🌿

I'm thrilled to share that I've officially become certified in Functional Medicine! 🎉

After 17 years as a licensed acupuncturist, this new chapter allows me to deepen my commitment to holistic healing by integrating Functional Medicine into my practice.

So, what is Functional Medicine? It's a patient-centered, science-based approach that seeks to identify and address the root causes of disease. By considering the complex interplay of genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors, Functional Medicine aims to restore balance and promote optimal health .

This approach beautifully complements Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture, which focus on harmonizing the body's energy (Qi) and restoring balance between yin and yang . Together, they offer a comprehensive path to wellness that addresses both the symptoms and the underlying causes of illness.

I'm excited to offer this integrative approach to support your health journey. Stay tuned for more insights and offerings!

When a pregnant person experiences chronic stress, elevated cortisol (the primary stress hormone) can cross the placenta, potentially impacting the baby’s developing nervous system. This can lead to issues like increased fussiness, sleep disturbances, or even long-term emotional sensitivity after birth.
⠀
✨ The good news? Acupuncture is a safe, gentle, and effective way to reduce stress during pregnancy.
⠀
By calming the nervous system, balancing hormones, and promoting deep relaxation, acupuncture helps lower cortisol levels—benefiting both the parent and baby.
⠀
Whether you're navigating first-trimester nausea or third-trimester tension, acupuncture can support a more peaceful pregnancy—for you and your little one. 💕

At Acupuncture for Balanced Wellness, we provide holistic support for every stage of motherhood.

Much of acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on Taoist principles of health, balance, and moderation. At Acupuncture for Balanced Wellness, we use this wisdom to guide us and help our patients achieve a healthy balance.

At our Chicago Loop acupuncture clinic, we use cupping as natural treatment to release muscle tension, detoxify tissues, and promote blood curculation. The negative pressure created by cupping stretches muscles and connective tissues. It also pulls old stuck blood up to the surface so that new fresh blood can nourish the area and promote healing. By bringing old blood and fluids to the surface, the body can more easily flush out any toxins trapped in the tissues. Cupping is a great treatment for aches and pains, congestion in the lungs or GI system, and muscle recovery.
