About Jessa Youngs: 

My first experience with acupuncture & Chinese Medicine irrevocably changed my life, as I immediately knew it would be the gateway into a lifelong exploration of holistic & integrative medicine.

The five years I spent earning my Master’s Degree from NUNM was a time of profound learning and personal healing from chronic illness. During this time I discovered the depth of my healing potential and the power of cyclical living. This process required me to consciously and deeply reconnect with my feminine body, inspiring me to focus in women’s reproductive & menstrual cycle health. 

During this time, the healing of my body also demanded freedom from all forms of artificial & hormonal birth control. This compelled me to complete a 2 year mentorship with Sarah Bly at The Well to become a Fertility Awareness Educator and Holistic Reproductive and Sexual Health Educator. It is my pleasure to be able to teach women about their bodies and support them in reclaiming their cycles as the guiding force in their lives.

My science-based upbringing (Mom & Dad are chemists) and my B.S. in Biochemistry also fueled me to merge spirit and science by combining my Chinese Medicine practice with Functional Medicine and DUTCH hormone testing.

My passion is guiding women to reclaim the health, vitality & nourishment of their menstrual cycles by merging ancient & modern science-based medicines with essential feminine wisdom. My highest vision is for all women to witness the mirror between our feminine body and our planet Earth as an invocation for planetary healing and regeneration.

In my free time you’ll find me singing & dancing, moving my body, playing outdoors, gardening & cooking, gathering in sister circles, and going on adventures with Jeff in our ‘78 VW bus. I also love sustainable & organic fashion (ask me for my fave Etsy shops!) and honoring my maternal lineage by enjoying delicious Italian food and trying to practice my shoddy Italian. Ciao!
