At Rivers of Qi, we use traditional acupuncture combined with modern therapies to balance overactive or underactive hormones, improve fertility, support IVF, IUI, & pregnancy, and  increase vitality.

Jessida enjoys helping people increase their quality of life. Whether you are looking to reduce menstrual cramps and severe mood swings, or were ready to start your family months ago, her mission is to help you achieve your goal. Jessida will approach your care from a combination mind, body, food, and lifestyle approach. "Nothing is happening in isolation," she says. Whether you are experiencing stress that leads to insomnia or digestive distress, want to prepare for a successful IVF procedure,  or feel overwhelmed by the many mixed health messages online, she will create a plan with you, and then be an accountability partner for YOUR specific journey.
