Jennifer Waters, Dipl.Ac, L.Ac., has been in private practice for over 20 years. A health care practitioner and educator, she’s committed to helping her clients uncover the true causes of dis-ease in the body and mind.
After a single session of LED Light Therapy relieved her pain associated with a labral tear, Jennifer incorporated Light Therapy into her clinic. She has seen the specialized combination of Light Therapy and Acupuncture produce profound synergistic results.
Jennifer maintains a thriving clinical practice in Syracuse, NY, including bringing acupuncture and light to the CNY Fertility Clinic owned by the world-renowned OB-GYN and endocrinologist Dr. Robert Kiltz. She also teaches “Time to Lighten Up!” classes to empower as many people as she can with practices, tools, and techniques that help them regain their health and vitality.
Jennifer’s formal education includes a B.A. in Cross Cultural Communication from Friends World College at Long Island University and a degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the Oriental Medical Institute of Hawaii.
Her interview column “Talking with Masters” for Acupuncture Today is how she met her favorite acupuncture teacher, Zion Yu. In honor of his teachings, she and the talented Tori DeAngelis co-authored his compelling memoir, “Welcome The Pain”, published by Balboa Press in 2013.
