We were lucky to catch up with Jacqueline Anaya recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Jacqueline thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Over the course of your career, have you seen or experienced your field completely flip-flop or change course on something?

As an acupuncturist with a face-to-face business during our world wide pandemic, I quickly transitioned to a virtual telehealth model and began educating the public about the benefits of Traditional Asian Medicine online. I have a YouTube channel, Anaya Acupuncture, in which I demonstrate my craft. I paint acupuncture meridians onto models to help people understand the energetics. In my professional field, an ancient health practice whose heart is literally feeling a patient’s pulse and providing intimate energetic treatments; it’s been a huge shift adapting to and providing meaningful virtual treatment options. We did it though– with virtual herbal consults and teaching healing techniques.

With all this change and freedom, I moved to Miami! I’m creating a practice, “belleza y bebe”, that supports beauty, fertility and emotions. Miami has diverse, rich cultures. An international playground with a fascination for beauty, music and sensuality. It’s a big change and I’m learning Spanish. La vida se trata de cambios. ¡Dale!

In offering holistic fertility treatments with Tantric divine feminine practices the benefits are astounding. Acupuncture improve sex drive, deepens orgasm, and improves fertility. Preconception acupuncture improves blood flow to uterus and ovaries, improves thickness of uterine lining, improves IVF success by 65%, and mediates IVF/IUI medication toxicity. Acupuncture helps live birth rates in pregnancy by 50%+ and reduces unpleasant side-effects like anxiety, depression, fatigue, acid regurgitation, headaches and pain. Acupuncture improves male fertility; treating ED, improves sperm count, motility and morphology. It can naturally reignite a couple’s passion and make dreams come true.

Holistic beauty treatments create youthful skin by improving stem cell proliferation. Acupuncture facials improve proliferation by 300% and microneedling (collagen induction therapy) with herbal serums by 1,000%! Acupuncture facials create a natural ‘face lift’ effect while treating one’s core health and improving vision and hearing. It boosts collagen, elastin, brighten complexion and increase skin absorption for high quality nourishing topicals by 300%. There’s no downtime. It’s an incredible treatment! Microneedling too, is an extraordinary treatment that we do in combination with acupuncture as well.

In treating our emotions naturally, instead of through pharmaceuticals, one realizes the wisdom of our body. Our emotions are rooted in our core health. Many people feel imbalanced with increased anxiety, depression and weight gain. Acupuncture leads to an average weight loss of about ten pounds. Acupuncture is wonderful in calming emotions, treating even complex PTSD. As with all acupuncture treatments, improving overall wellness leads to balancing hormones, weight, and emotions as a natural result.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I offer deeply relaxing holistic treatments consisting of acupuncture, tuina – massage, cupping, gua sha, herbal and nutritional guidance to resolve a broad spectrum of medical conditions. I have ten years+ in private practice, served as an acupuncturist for both the Mayo Clinic and Veteran Affairs Medical Center. I have continually expanded my education through advanced training in the east-west complexity of treating fertility, skin care, post-traumatic stress disorder, cancer, digestive issues and every kind of pain. I’m attuned to subtle energy, trained as a Reiki Master and CranioSacral Therapist L1.

As a life-long learner I’m always evolving through education, meditation and personal growth. I started practicing Vipassana Meditation in 2008 which fundamentally altered my life, as much as discovering acupuncture had done. This path clearly reveals how our deepest wounds deserve the subtlest touch.

Putting training and knowledge aside, what else do you think really matters in terms of succeeding in your field?

Being an acupuncturist, a healing art all about energy flow – being sensitive to energy is essential. Being sensitive to people’s subtle unspoken emotions, being able to feel your own qi flow and that of others is key. It helps one intuitively understand where the pain (and stagnant energy) is in a patient’s body. Understanding rarefied aspects of qi is the basis of intuition.

When people begin to meditate on their body or feel their chakras, as they become more sensitive to energy, they often focus attention on their most superficial frontal energy. This energy is best suited to how one relates to others, and isn’t one’s core energy. In Traditional Asian Medicine this superficial and social meridian is the Ren Mai meridian about conception, Whereas the core energy is the Chong Mai, penetrating or pillar energy, which holds one’s deeper personal patterns. As acupuncturists we’re able to open and help cleanse these meridians of trauma and much more. It’s really an honor to be able to help people energetically in this way.

Are there any books, videos or other content that you feel have meaningfully impacted your thinking?

Mediation retreats! What’s supported my ability to evolve in all my dimensions is Goenke’s Vipassana Meditation tradition. This organization offers charitably based (therefore affordable), ten day, silent meditations. They holds space for people to heal and mediate. This is my true personal sanctuary and I often feel, “I’ve come home” whenever I go there. They also have meditations for entrepreneurs, Some people in this tradition are powerful leaders in our culture; who say this has helped them focus their intuition on further evolving their business adventures and literally predicting the future.
