JEAN BAKER, Owner & M.Ed, MAcOM, L.Ac, Dipl. OM., Usui Reiki Master

Jean Baker is a licensed Acupuncturist and a Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner.  She received her Master’s degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine from AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine in Austin, Texas. She is a board-certified Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist through the National Certification Commission of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM), and is licensed by the Minnesota Medical board.
​

From a very young age, Jean has been called to inspire and teach others. Her career pursuits reflect this calling. Jean obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of St. Thomas. She worked as a Mental Health Counselor for Developmentally Delayed Adults in a group home setting. Jean has had the opportunity to teach and mentor others throughout her adult life. Her teaching experience includes working in the health and wellness industry as a group fitness instructor and group fitness coordinator. Jean earned her Master’s Degree in Education from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota. Prior to becoming a licensed acupuncturist, Jean was a high school social studies teacher. She thoroughly enjoyed her career as a teacher because it allowed her to teach and inspire others to learn and grow both academically and on a social-emotional level. Jean’s thesis work focused on creating a holistic educational environment based on academic proficiency, as well as an emphasis on social and emotional intelligence.
 
Jean has always been fascinated with Eastern Medicine. She is a quarter Chinese and her grandfather and mother taught her the principles of Chinese Nutritional Therapy at a very young age. Jean grew up in the restaurant business and learned how to utilize “food as medicine” to aid in the body’s natural healing process.
 
Jean discovered acupuncture as she was struggling with her own health issues and looking for a natural approach to restore her body to optimal health. Inspired by the powerful role that acupuncture played in her own health and healing, she chose to go back to school to obtain a Master’s Degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Jean is passionate about sharing this powerful and holistic medicine with others to assist them on their journey to optimal health and wellness.

In addition to being a Licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist, Jean is also a Usui Reiki Master. Similar to Traditional Chinese Medicine, Reiki is a form of ​​Japanese energy work that is focused on natural health and healing by balancing the subtle energy systems throughout the body.
 
Jean has experience treating a wide variety of physical and emotional health conditions. Her focus areas include psycho-emotional challenges: PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction; women’s health and gynecological disorders, musculo-skeletal pain, sports medicine, allergy-related symptoms, gastrointestinal dysfunction, cancer support, autoimmune disorders, and family wellness.

Jean’s philosophy is that the key to vibrant health and wellness is found in nurturing the body, mind and spirit and she is passionate about assisting others on their journey to optimal health and wellness. She firmly believes in taking a collaborative approach to wellness while utilizing empathy, compassion and respect. Lifestyle changes, including meditation, self-awareness and dietary considerations are at the core of her treatment plan for any condition.
​
Jean has found that the body has a tremendous capacity to heal itself if it is given the proper environment to do so.
In addition to her dedication of learning and teaching Chinese medicine, Jean enjoys walking in the city and hiking in the woods, daily physical workouts, meditating, reading, writing, and spending quality time with family and friends.  
​
Jean is passionate about assisting others on their journey to optimal health and wellness.  Jean is highly motivated to help your achieve your wellness goals and treats every person with honesty, integrity and respect.  

There is no greater gift that you can give yourself and your loved ones, than the gift of optimal health!
