Academically, my focus was a pre-medical track with anthropology, psychology, and Eastern religious studies. Through the College Scholars program, I wrote a thesis exploring addiction recovery and the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit in the healing process. My time as a diver helped me gain a better understanding and respect for the mind-body connection and the role that nutrition, sleep, and stress can play in overall health. My personal health journey and a desire to practice a prevention and wellness-focused approach to healthcare led me to the Pacific Northwest to pursue a doctorate in naturopathic medicine and a master's in acupuncture at the National University of Natural Medicine. While in school, my clinical rotations focused on adjunctive care for cancer and chronic disease, psychoneuroendocrinoimmunology, and a Japanese approach to acupuncture. I further studied Asian bodywork, craniosacral therapy, and myofascial therapy to integrate bodywork and healing touch into my treatment style. I returned home to East Tennessee in 2018 and am passionate about bringing holistic wellness to my community. I strive to bridge different ways of knowing to promote wellness and support the individual path to health and healing. My mission is to help redefine the paradigm of healthcare. https://ainsleyjillian.com/education daily 0.75 2024-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e7b3dc5da793cfa2beba0/7cc19df9-d6a2-45ad-99ff-ba619987cf1c/Screen+Shot+2021-12-13+at+11.35.10+AM.png Education https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e7b3dc5da793cfa2beba0/29d63306-9abe-4b44-9894-70881b255eba/Screen+Shot+2021-12-13+at+11.33.55+AM.png Education https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e7b3dc5da793cfa2beba0/37c00be0-1154-45ad-8b79-0b8e1e03aacf/Screen+Shot+2021-12-13+at+11.33.41+AM.png Education https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e7b3dc5da793cfa2beba0/71e4fc5b-c534-4ea3-9203-9bbe70b32b35/Screen+Shot+2021-12-13+at+11.34.04+AM.png Education https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e7b3dc5da793cfa2beba0/1639413729667-Y6DEM1XDXZLWW79MKJGZ/Screen%2BShot%2B2021-12-13%2Bat%2B11.41.17%2BAM.jpg Education https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e7b3dc5da793cfa2beba0/3d2e9931-b548-4610-b0d9-ff5cfb4c1eeb/Screen+Shot+2021-12-13+at+11.47.01+AM.png Education https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e7b3dc5da793cfa2beba0/816471e4-333f-42e3-8b16-9666059e35db/Screen+Shot+2021-12-13+at+1.20.07+PM.png Education TN acupuncture council https://ainsleyjillian.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-09-21 https://ainsleyjillian.com/schedule daily 0.75 2026-05-18 https://ainsleyjillian.com/modalities daily 0.75 2022-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Modalities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Modalities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Modalities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Modalities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Modalities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Modalities https://ainsleyjillian.com/publications daily 0.75 2022-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e7b3dc5da793cfa2beba0/d06c499c-b481-4bf8-bbd5-35766e97a92e/Sacred+Spaces+Cover+1.jpg Publications - Sacred Spaces I was honored to be a co-author for a book titled "Sacred Spaces: Subtle Shifts for Mind, Body, and Home Transformation.” It is a collective project by some amazing people and authors, including my friend and lead author, Colleen Avis. One of the main goals for this book was to bring together a brave group of authors who would tell their stories and create a collective ripple, supporting others on their wellness journey. My chapter title is Perception, Perspective, and the Practice of Presence: Empowering Healing through Connection. It’s available on Amazon, and the link is listed below if you’d like to purchase an e-book or paperback. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e7b3dc5da793cfa2beba0/6a35b228-3232-48fe-b671-c9ae11df9d79/Screen+Shot+2021-12-13+at+11.24.25+AM.png Publications https://ainsleyjillian.com/our-approach daily 0.75 2021-12-12
