Jessica Ward
Doctor of Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine, MAOM, Licensed Acupuncturist
Jessica Ward's journey into the realm of holistic healing began with a strong foundation in Exercise and Health Science, earned from the University of Massachusetts Boston. Her passion for optimizing human health led her to work as a personal trainer, where she witnessed firsthand the transformative power of movement and lifestyle changes.
However, Jessica's interest for deeper understanding and holistic approaches to wellness led her to pursue further education at the New England School of Acupuncture of Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. Here, she earned her Masters of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, immersing herself in the rich tapestry of traditional Chinese healing modalities.
Jessica's commitment to her craft propelled her to pursue her Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine at the Pacific College of Health and Science. This advanced training provided her with a comprehensive understanding of acupuncture, herbal medicine, and the intricate principles that underpin Chinese medical theory.
In her practice, Jessica specializes in Chinese-style acupuncture and herbal medicine, drawing upon the wisdom of ancient traditions to address the complexities of modern health challenges. She has dedicated herself to learning Dr. Wang Ju Yi's Applied Channel Theory, incorporating channel palpation as a diagnostic tool to uncover imbalances and restore harmony within the body.
Central to Jessica's approach is her unwavering belief in the innate healing capacity inherent within each individual. She sees herself not as a healer, but as a guide, accompanying her patients on their unique journey towards optimal health and wellbeing.
Whether her patients seek relief from chronic pain, management of stress and anxiety, support for women's health and fertility, solutions for digestive issues, or simply a path to enhanced overall wellbeing, Jessica's treatments are tailored to meet their specific needs.
Beyond her practice, Jessica finds balance and rejuvenation in various pursuits. You might find her lifting weights at the gym, flowing through yoga poses, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, or enjoying the company of her beloved dog, Sage. In every aspect of her life, Jessica embodies the holistic principles she espouses, striving for harmony and vitality in body, mind, and spirit.
