(NCCAOM)
Jill
received her B.S. in physical therapy from Finch University/The Chicago Medical
School in 1985. She worked in hospital-based clinics for 13 years in addition to
seeking out alternative healthcare practitioners with whom to study. Jill
returned to graduate school at the
American
College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 1997 and completed her master's
degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2000. She became a licensed
acupuncturist in California and nationally certified in 2001. Jill has since
studied Constitutional Facial Renewal through The Chiakra Center and was spa-certified in
2003. She was drawn to the work of reducing or eliminating fine lines and increasing
muscular tone in the face as a way to balancing core health and enhancing beauty from within.
Jill uses
a mixture of Western and Eastern medical approaches, including myofascial
release, craniosacral therapy, microcurrent, acupuncture, and/or Chinese herbal
medicine to treat a variety of medical conditions. Her private practice is now
over seven years old and has steadily grown.
"Blending my Western medicine background with the Eastern philosophy of health
and well-being gives me great tools with which to better assist a person in
reaching a successful outcome."
