Jessica Davies LAc.

Jessica Davies, LAc., MTCM

Jessica found acupuncture in MI in the 90s when it relieved her chronic migraines. The unexpected side effect of feeling grounded and inspired sent her on her path to CA where she received her Master’s Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2004. She enjoys supporting teens, and women in perimenopause as well as other times of big transition. Anxiety, insomnia, back-pain, headaches, high blood pressure, and ADD/ADHD are a few of her favorite things to treat. Relieving all types of pain and considering the body-mind-spirit connection keeps her curious and always learning. In addition to acupuncture and herbs Jessica has studied Food as Medicine, Intuition Medicine, Positive Psychology, and bodywork. You will likely find her work a blend that is always changing and deeply rooted in tiny, magic, little needles.
