How long does Jen typically work with someone?

The length of time I work with someone differs and is relevant to each person’s goals and the effort they put into themselves outside my office. Whether it’s through Life Coaching, Acupuncture, or a combination of the two, it is always my intention to send you home with self-help strategies. For instance, this may be a particular exercise for a patient working through an injury or instruction on intermittent fasting for someone dealing with gut health issues. It is always my goal to give you the tools to keep yourself healthy. Sometimes that process is quick and we may see each other 4-6 times and you’re on your way. There are also patients I’ve been working with for several months who need progressive care for deep-rooted injuries or emotional imbalances such as depression or anxiety. 

What results can I expect from life coaching?

The truest answer to that is; it depends on the effort you choose to put in and your willingness to face the choices you make daily. Life Coaching has the potential to change your life in significant ways when you choose to commit to yourself by learning new techniques that will reframe your thoughts and allow for a more gentle perspective. You can expect fulfillment, joy and a richer experience of life. You will have deeper relationships because you understand how to communicate effectively while also knowing the importance of listening. You will feel strong and confident in any situation because you will come to understand that it is your choice how you go through any experience. Suffering will happen in life, we cannot escape that. Whether it’s emotional suffering from a death of a loved one or a life-altering injury, YOU determine to what extent that experience will have an impact. Life Coaching hands you the keys to your own life by building up your Self Worth which inevitably leads you to live a life of integrity through accountability thus paving the way for Authentic Happiness. 

Does Acupuncture hurt?

Many of my new patients have a fear of needles. This is a common fear that stems mostly from what we know through the experience of needles in getting vaccines or having our blood drawn. Acupuncture needles are very small in diameter, much like your hair but stronger as they are made typically with stainless steel. Here is what I tell each of my first-time patients. 

“You may feel a prick as the needle is inserted or you may feel nothing at all. It is my intention (in my style of practice) that your body has an opportunity to rest, maybe even take a nap. If one of your needles is hurting you your mind will not ease as I’d like it to, so it is important to me that you let me know if any of your needles is uncomfortable so that I may adjust it”.

When I am working on a pain pattern I may choose stronger stimulation of the needles. This will create sensations that some folks feel as pain. However, I will talk with you about these sensations as I do not want you to be scared of the communication between the needle and your body. That is how I see the interaction between you and my needles, as communication with the purpose of healing.
