Neck/shoulder pain has been constant since neck surgery for 2 blown out discs in 2000. Thrilled to say that after 1 session with Jennifer the shoulder muscles have relaxed, the burning pain has decreased by at least 75% and range of movement has increased considerably. Last night was the first truly peaceful sleep I have had in years. Already have my next few appointments booked. Jennifer really took time to talk with me and asked a lot of questions ~ so nice to receive that level of attention. I was so happy that Jennifer accepts insurance and Flex credit cards! Also, office was easy to find, nicely appointed and clean — all things that reflect a professional but welcoming space.

Jennifer is wonderful! She takes a genuine interest in the well being of her patients and has very extensive knowledge of the practices she uses. I’ve never had an acupuncturist have such great care and concern with my pain management. Jennifer is the only acupuncturist I would recommend!

I cannot recommend Jennifer Folkerts enthusiastically enough! She’s a very talented, warm, and humane acupuncturist and herbalist who is sincerely interested in her clients’ well being. She has a very deep understanding of and passionate commitment to traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, and Qi Gong, and she’s able to effectively educate clients directly and simply. She’s also got an extensive understanding of diet and lifestyle choices, and she is very familiar with treating numerous conditions. And she doesn’t fall for any of the New Age-y traps you might be expecting – she has appreciations for many healing traditions, East and West, and generally favors and supports anything that heals and respects the body, mind, and spirit. She’s helped me extensively to manage my bipolar disorder, and she’s helped a few of my friends deal with anxiety and stress issues as well quitting smoking. I believe she also specializes in fertility and pre-natal yoga. Her studio is warm, private, and very comfortable and relaxed. Her ‘bedside’ manner is very warm and relaxed, also, and she’s a hip, easy-going, and very charming personality. My partner and I have enjoyed working with her greatly – she’s made a marked impact on my quality of life. Her rates are very reasonable and she takes many(if not all) insurances. She bills according to your insurer’s requirements, but also acts to make sure your copays/out-of-pocket are fair and affordable. She is very generous with her time and insights, and she’s very willing to provide TCM herbal cocktails and nutritional supplements to patients when appropriate – but she NEVER pressures you to do more than you’re able to afford or willing to try. She is actively involved in the teaching community and teaches a very moving Qi Gong class, as well, so her knowledge is very fresh, current, and engaged.
