Jessica Mkrtchyan LAC, MTCM

Approach

Jessica (she/her) believes in an integrated approach to holistic health and overall wellbeing. As a practitioner and forever student of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Jessica’s mission is to bridge the gap between western and eastern philosophies of medicine to help those who may not be feeling fulfilled in treating their ailments via conventional medical routes. Having experienced a variety of chronic symptoms that were not tied to any single western diagnosis after college, she embarked on a journey to better her own health. She discovered the incredible healing benefits of Chinese medicine and herbs, which greatly improved her chronic fatigue, high stress & anxiety, weight fluctuations, as well as, idiopathic hair loss.

Since then, she has been passionate about sharing her discoveries with those that share a similar experience or those simply looking for answers to their health concerns not previously found elsewhere. As a practitioner, she honors the beauty and complexity of traditional medicine. She understands the practice is something to behold and something that should be shared with deep care and respect for its ancestry. By working closely with her patients, she works to find solutions that transcend beyond the walls of the treatment room by implementing food therapy, meditation, breath work, and other self care practices to address the root of the symptoms at hand.
