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. In September of 2024, I joined Whole Systems Healthcare, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to providing the highest quality holistic health resources. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e7b3dc5da793cfa2beba0/b0ceeb82-9085-45cf-8c5c-426aaa6969b7/Whole+Systems+White+Logo+.jpeg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. 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 2024-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e7b3dc5da793cfa2beba0/015bf259-df7f-432b-81fb-9d30d7d7bf3e/Whole+Systems+White+Logo+.jpeg Schedule - Make it stand out Whole Systems Healthcare Knoxville Clinic 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.
