My Story

Dr. Jillian first experienced the power of Chinese medicine in 2004 after a car accident that threatened to severely limit her mobility and put her on a lifelong regimen of “pain management” medications.  Her doctor told her to prepare for the fact that she may never ride her bicycle again.  Not satisfied with that prognosis, she took her healing journey in a different direction. Working weekly with an acupuncturist for 6 months got her back on her bicycle for short rides. By the end of a year, with consistent work and strength training, Dr. Jillian signed up, trained for, and completed a 100-mile bicycle ride! Nearly 20 years later, she still gets regular acupuncture treatments and remains painkiller free, pain-free, and fully mobile.
