Hello! I'm  Jennifer Growden - a licensed acupuncturist and massage therapist practicing in the Marigny neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana.  I've been a bodyworker specializing in acupressure and Shiatsu massage since 2004 and gained my Master's degree in the Worsleyan tradition of classical Five Element acupuncture in 2016 from the Academy for Five Element Acupuncture.  This unique approach to acupuncture seeks to re-establish the balance and harmony between our inner psycho-spiritual experience and the external physical demands of our modern lives. 

​

It took me some time to find what I now believe to be my right path. I started bodywork as a hobby at a young age but I resisted any full time calling.  Instead, I invested my energies in studying a wide variety of things including conflict negotiation, marine mammal training, theater, and psychology.  Nothing ever quite fit but I have no regrets as I feel that each skill set has come to bear fruit in my work as a Five Element acupuncturist.  

 

The need to attend to details and a willingness to go wherever the conversation - or indeed the treatment needs to - has been a skillset reinforced by my early schooling and tested by my practice in New Orleans. I believe that the woes of the heart and mind must be treated before the body can be helped.  By combining my decades of pain relieving massage techniques with the profound healing system that is Worsleyan acupuncture, I seek to help you heal at the deepest and longest lasting level possible.  Reach out today by booking your consultation and let's get you started on your journey back to your best self.  ​
