About Jennifer (Jenny) Abel R.Ac., R.TCM.P
The body’s ability to heal is amazing—especially when we listen to its messages. Practicing in an intuitive way, I hold a safe, healing space to help you connect with your own innate healing power. I also love offering lifestyle guidance, dietary therapy, and cutting edge resources.
Having completed formal training in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Herbology at the Tzu Chi International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I began my studies 15 years ago and have been in clinical practice for the past 10 years. I continue to expand my knowledge through ongoing continuing education. I have completed advanced training in Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture with industry leader Michelle Gellis. I have also received one-on-one mentorship with Elaine Li, a highly respected teacher of TCM Herbology.
In addition to TCM studies, for the past 16 years I have studied directly and extensively with internationally acclaimed master healer, Mada Dalian. Mada is a rare and brilliant teacher, a modern buddha, and mystic. Studying with Mada has been life-changing, and has greatly enhanced my ability to be in my fullest integrity with my practice. My studies with Mada have also crystallized the importance of addressing mind, body, emotions, spirit, and consciousness to truly heal.
When I am not in clinic, I enjoy being in nature, dancing, being in community, and deepening my meditation practice.
If you are wanting an empowered approach to your healing, I would be honoured to share that journey with you.
