OUR HEALING TEAM

Kanokwan ‘Nina’ Jatuparisuthiseen

L.Ac., LMT, C.SMA

I graduated with the highest honor from the University of Bridgeport with a Master of Science degree in Acupuncture. I am a Board-Certified Diplomate in Acupuncture by the National Certification Commission of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). I have trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Sports Medicine Acupuncture Certification Program, Trigger Point Therapy and Kiiko Japanese-style acupuncture. I received additional training in Theoretical and Clinical acupuncture, moxibustion, Tuina (Chinese bodywork) and health preservation at Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China. I am a licensed acupuncturist, massage therapist, Certified Sports Medicine Acupuncture® esthetician and certified yoga instructor.

I am currently a candidate for the Doctorate in Acupuncture degree at Pacific College of Health Sciences.

I had a corporate job for many years until I was able to leave and pursue my studies to become a licensed acupuncturist. As a result, I have a unique perspective on the various health issues that working adults face.

My philosophy is to treat patients as a whole, both physically and emotionally. My extensive 10,000 hours of experience and training as a bodywork therapist have given me a deeper understanding of serving the many different needs of my diverse patients. I have the privilege of serving a wide variety of patients: athletes, pregnant women, those suffering from Office Syndrome, pre- and post-surgery rehabilitation patients, teens, and seniors.

Away from the clinic, I’m a dance enthusiast — especially Hip Hop. Since balance is important, I cool down from my vibrant activities with meditation, Qi Qong, Yin Yoga and hiking. My experience as an athlete and cheer captain led to a life-long interest in musculoskeletal therapy and sports medicine.
