Meet Your Practitioners
Jennifer Burns MAOM, LAc, YTT200 has always been interested in balance and health. She has molded this interest into helping individuals become the best versions of themselves using her knowledge of Contemporary Oriental Medicine. Growing up in a family of farmers in Western New York taught her the ups and downs of a life lived close to the land while focusing on an unwavering work ethic. Through high school she juggled an active athletic life, including track and powerlifting, with milking the cows before and after school while excelling in her studies. After high school and eighteen years in one of the snowiest places in the U.S., Jennifer made the trek to the Sunshine State to study Wildlife Ecology and Conservation at the University of Florida. She took special interest in ecosystems dynamics. During her time at UF, she continued her pursuit of physical health and expanded that interest to become an ACE Certified Personal Trainer. Jennifer also worked at a local health food store where she continued to see the outpouring of individuals who were dissatisfied with the health care they were receiving from Western Medicine.
After commencement, Jennifer continued to work in health based retail services. Her connection with innumerable individuals who were not satisfied with the answers modern medicine had to offer for their ailments lead her down the path of researching Oriental Medicine. Her experience with ecosystem models prepared her for the Asian view of harmonious health and balance. As fate would have it, Gainesville, Florida has one of the top colleges of Oriental Medicine in the U.S., Dragon Rises College of Oriental Medicine. Jumping right into their rigorous program for a Master's in Oriental Medicine and a Bachelor's in Health Sciences, Jennifer found exactly what she knew would be able to deeply help people along their path to health and a balanced internal ecosystem.
Jennifer originally built her practice in a small town just outside of Gainesville, FL to continue sharing her knowledge of superior health, human performance, and the practice of a balanced life with her patients. She is continually expanding her knowledge base, including a recent six-month class leading to a certification in Hunyuan Fertility.
