The Healing Arts Center of San Diego 

 

My name is Dr. Jennifer Moffitt, acupuncturist, budding clinical  neuroscientist and creator of a polyvagal approach to oriental medicine by combining classical acupuncture with clinical neuroscience, physical therapy, and primitive reflex integration in a unique way.  We had my own nervous system derangement as the blueprint for this work, and it surpasses any medical tradition I have ever used.  Chronic cases that defy medical treatment, including nerve damage, are resolved successfully.  Tissue regenerates, and the body takes on a healthy, regenerative glow that is visible to the naked eye.   Results are long-lasting, and patients are able to maintain their healthy results with less maintenance, and simple self-care practices. 

​

Some patients are done in 3 sessions, some in 30.  Chronic cases are usually more complex, but results can be instantaneous and visible when patients connect deeply with the language of the body.  It is a journey to understand how to prevent things from recurring.  My job as a neuroscientist is often more like "medical detective," and as we dive into the bodies primitive reflexes, we discover how the injury or illness came about and how we can restore proper function.  Patients are empowered through an understanding of their own triggers, learning how to re-balance themselves in the present moment.

 

Needles are optional in this tradition and the needle style is painless. Most patients experience no discomfort of any kind.
