Every day at Meeting Point Community Acupuncture Clinic, Jessica is thankful to be treating so many people with a wide variety of health issues who might not have been able to afford acupuncture otherwise.
When not working at the clinic, Jessica might be running, mountain biking, skiing, taking her pups for a walk or run, travelling or possibly looking for the next adventure.
