JESSICA MARTENS – Sound Acupuncture
I am incredibly fortunate to be one of those people who absolutely loves what they do. Acupuncture, which is part of a larger system of medicine becoming known as Asian medicine, is an amazing healing art.
I practice a style of acupuncture and herbal medicine known as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). I look at a person as a whole, not divided into separate symptoms or conditions. This allows me the ability to see connections between disparate symptoms and create a treatment that works for the whole person, rather than healing one piece but missing the bigger picture. TCM thinks of a person as a garden, an entire ecosystem interacting within the larger ecosystem outside. At times I think of myself as an ecologist, a gardener, a healer, a confidante, a detective, a researcher, and of course, as an acupuncturist.
