About – Jennifer Tom Acupuncture

Dr. Jennifer Tom, DACM, L.Ac. is a California state licensed acupuncturist who is passionate about supporting you and your health with practical, down-to-earth healthcare. By creating a safe and trusting partnership, she strives to empower and work together with you to help you achieve your health and wellness goals.

Jennifer’s interest in health and medicine began with her family. From her grandfather’s homemade Chinese herbal remedies, to reading her family’s medical encyclopedia for fun, she was fascinated with learning how the body works, how symptoms could be connected to each other, and what factors can ensure a healthy thriving life. After injuring her back while working as an event planner, Jennifer was introduced to the world of acupuncture and Chinese medicine. The treatments she received not only healed her injury, but also introduced a whole different way of thinking about health and wellness – where a person is seen as a whole person, not just a collection of symptoms; when treating the root cause of disease is emphasized over managing symptoms only; and where prevention is a key factor in overall health. Jennifer is thrilled to share the world of acupuncture with her patients and to be able to help others with this medicine.

Born and raised in Southern California, Jennifer enjoys rock climbing, hiking, camping, traveling, cooking, and hanging out with her dog Dakota.
