About Lynn Jaffee…
I have always been fascinated with natural health, and from the first time I had an acupuncture treatment, I was fascinated with that, too. I mean, how is it possible that a handful of needles placed in the right place can relieve your pain or calm your anxiety? It’s complicated and beautiful and based on teachings that are thousands of years old.
I have a master’s degree in Chinese medicine and have been a licensed practitioner of acupuncture (L.Ac.) since 2003. I love working with patients, but I also really like to talk about how this medicine works. As a result, I wrote the book, Simple Steps: The Chinese Way to Better Health, which is a clear and simple explanation of Chinese medicine for the lay person. This blog is a labor of love—not only of Eastern medicine, but also as a way to reach a greater audience than by connecting with one patient at a time.
After the illness and loss of my 28-year old son, I shifted my focus from treating patients in the clinic to writing. I currently maintain this blog and write web content for a number of other natural health care clients. I have also recently published the book Love Pain: Stories of Loss and Survival, which tells the story of miracles and finding strength in the face of tragic loss. I wrote it as a resource and a warm hug for anyone struggling to cope during difficult times.
If you want information about acupuncture, Chinese medicine, emotional health, and other healing topics, I hope you enjoy reading my posts and books. If you’re challenged by stringing together a couple of paragraphs in a row and need help writing, contact me.
Wishing you good health!
