About Jessica


Jessica is a mother, an acupuncturist, herbalist and hirudotherapist (leech therapy) and is passionate about living healthy and naturally.  She utilizes all of the different modalities of Chinese medicine and Hirudotherapy, choosing what will work the best in each unique situation. She loves to answer questions and educate about the body and how it works.


Jessica has a special passion and knowledge about the treatment of infertility, pregnancy, labour and postpartum.


She started her private practice focusing on pregnancy and infertility 5 years ago, in 2007. She volunteers at prenatal classes to teach acupressure for laour pain to couples-always free of charge because she believes that the tools for a more positive and enjoyable labour should be available to every woman.


In 2009 she started working at Maternity Wellness, outside of the city. The only maternity clinic focused on alternative treatments.


She has had personal successes with infertility, breech presentation, overdue pregnancy, preparing for labour etc. She places a large importance on educating women about recovering in the postpartum period. There are important considerations involving lifestyle changes and dietary recommendations.


Medicated Diet, the diet is the first line of defence when treating a problem in the body. I help to ease the transition of making small changes in the diet that will have big impacts on health.  In 2011 Jessica was part of a large group seminar which educated the public about the Eastern philosophies of food and how to use food for people as individuals for their body and how to treat illness.


Jessica is a member of the Canadian Society of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture as well as the American Association of Hirudotherapy.
