Philosophy

Many Paths to the Mountaintop – Acupuncture is thousands of years old, and is based on a coherent theory of the body.  Yet within that framework, there are many different styles. The success of a course of treatment depends on finding a practitioner whose style resonates with you.  In Jeanne's practice, the pathway toward healing is a partnership between practitioner and patient; she believes in listening deeply, taking the time to thoughtfully answer questions, and sharing insight and information.  The course of treatment is adjusted through this process of feedback and dialogue.

Jeanne is trained in three distinct styles of acupuncture: Traditional Chinese Medicine, Kiiko Matsumoto style (a Japanese method based on abdominal palpation), and Acupuncture Physical Medicine (a North American method based on trigger points and a more orthopedic view of the body.) Having this diverse toolkit allows Jeanne to draw from a variety of options based on the individual patient's needs and sensitivities. In addition to this multi-faceted training, Jeanne brings her years of experience as a movement teacher to the table. An understanding of biomechanics, movement quality, and the body-mind continuum deeply inform her approach.  She integrates this perspective, as well as her training in manual therapy, nutrition, and a variety of mind-body movement techniques, into each session as needed.
