Cancer Support
Support the whole body through your healing journey. Acupuncture helps to control post-operative pain, improve digestion, reduce nausea and vomiting, improve fatigue, reduce anxiety and increase white blood cell count for those struggling with cancer.
Acupuncture works by directing healing energy to cancerous organs.
By activating acupuncture points, energy flow increases, helping the body balance energy flow. Energetic channels create a complex network connecting every part of the body. It's a systems approach, directing healing energy to specific organ pathology, including those ravaged by cancer.

Many doctors these days are prescribing acupuncture as part of their treatment plan for their cancer patients. For some patients, the side effects that accompany chemotherapy can be worse than the disease itself.
A number of cancer centers in the U.S., including Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) in Boston, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, and M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston are integrating acupuncture into their cancer-care programs.
“When I began treatments with Jennifer I was exhausted and suffering from severe nausea. Acupuncture helped me in so many ways while I was going through chemo and radiation. Her treatments not only resolved my nausea, but helped me sleep deeply, lessened my stress levels and strengthened my immune system. ”
“Having practiced as a veterinarian for 40 years, I used my western medical training and my Chinese medical background to treat numerous types of cancer. When I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, I sought a practitioner who was knowledgeable and capable of treating my disease.
Using her extensive training in acupuncture and herbs, as well as a significant understanding of the western treatment I am going undergoing, Jennifer has done a superb job in offsetting the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, while boosting my immune system and keeping my energy and body condition in excellent shape.
I appreciate both her compassion and sensitivity as well as expertise. As I navigate the treacherous path of cancer treatment, I am so happy that I found someone who can implement protocols that not only improve the quality of my life, but also potentiate the effectiveness of the treatments I am receiving from my oncologist.”
