Jessica Ward’s journey into the realm of holistic healing began with a strong foundation in Exercise and Health Science, earned from the University of Massachusetts Boston. Her passion for optimizing human health led her to work as a personal trainer, where she witnessed firsthand the transformative power of movement and lifestyle changes.

However, Jessica’s interest for deeper understanding and holistic approaches to wellness led her to pursue further education at the New England School of Acupuncture of Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. Here, she earned her Masters of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, immersing herself in the rich tapestry of traditional Chinese healing modalities.

Jessica’s commitment to her craft propelled her to pursue her Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine at the Pacific College of Health and Science.
