“Give your body what it truly needs and prepare to be amazed!”
Jana Hussmann Meacham always wanted to work in medicine and as a child, assumed that she would be a nurse. Well, as all of us know, life takes unexpected turns and she has never been a nurse. She did, however, train to be a Nuclear Medicine Technologist and worked in that field in a hospital setting for 15+ years.
In 1981, Jana was introduced to Acupuncture, which at that time was considered to be something akin to the snake oil that was peddled at medicine shows in the 19th Century! She had experienced a back injury and was left with very persistent and uncomfortable pain; her physician referred her to a pain management clinic. One of the options offered was Acupuncture, and being curious, Jana decided to give it a try. Well, not only did the back pain disappear, she felt so much better overall that she continues to this day to receive Acupuncture treatments as part of her wellness program.
That experience was the beginning of Jana’s journey into another paradigm of healthcare and wellness, which is to focus on the “prevention side” rather than on the “repair side”. A voracious reader and perpetual student, Jana has explored many different areas of alternative healthcare, including nutrition, massage therapy, chiropractic care and the role of water and supplements in holistic wellness. Throughout this journey, Jana has continued to be amazed at the wonder and resiliency of the human body and is now privileged to be able to shares her passion, knowledge and experience with you!
