Education & Professional Authority
She completed her MSTOM (Master of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine) at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine and earned her Doctorate at Five Branches University. She is nationally board-certified in Oriental Medicine, Acupuncture, and Chinese Herbology (DNCCAOM).

The Proprietary Model: PVA™ & PVM™
A life-changing diagnosis at the onset of the COVID pandemic prompted a synthesis of classical Chinese medicine with trauma theory and clinical neuroscience—work that is often visibly observable as real-time shifts in fascial tone, autonomic regulation, and energy flow.
Jennifer is a Certified Primitive Reflex Clinical Specialist (CPRCS) and an internationally recognized expert in autonomic dysregulation. Her clinical protocols integrate neuroplasticity, fascial signaling, and trauma-informed acupuncture. She is now a post-graduate instructor, developing and teaching advanced training in Polyvagal Acupuncture™ (PVA™) and Polyvagal Massage™ (PVM™) for neuro-somatic treatment of trauma.
Her proprietary model for Nervous System Repair is built on a comprehensive integration of:
-
Polyvagal Theory (PVT) and its application in clinical settings.
-
Classical Chinese Medicine (Acupuncture) and meridian theory.
-
Fascial signaling and release to address somatic bracing.
-
Primitive Reflex Integration to reset neurological foundation.
-
Functional Medicine principles for neuroplasticity precursors.
-
Circadian cycling strategies for optimal autonomic recovery.
In partnership with a leading provider for post-graduate education and training, she is building a professional mentoring and education platform for acupuncturists and integrative providers seeking to deepen their expertise in PVA™, PVM™, nervous system repair, and trauma physiology. More course offerings will be available in 2026.
