How I came to be an acupuncturist was not exactly a straight line. I have followed my heart time and time again gathering a very diverse set of experiences that led me to study the most beautiful form of medicine I know. Though a confluence of brilliant teachers and opportunities, I decided to spend the rest of my life learning and practicing a medicine that encompasses the full breadth and depth of human experience.
I believe wholeheartedly in our innate ability to heal ourselves. This is the essence of my practice, to support healing. I use acupuncture, medical qigong, Qigong Meridian Therapy, Wu Ming Qigong, as well as breath and mindfulness practices to help us reconnect to our innate healing ability.
I have helped people with a wide variety of concerns, among them: chronic illness, sports injuries, allergies, anxiety, depression, migraine headaches, anger, grief, sadness, excessive worry, digestive issues, acute pain, chronic pain, breathing difficulties, chronic illness as well as physical and emotional trauma.
My path to the present moment has been diverse and wonderfully fulfilling. This experience includes photojournalism, fine arts photography, teaching photography and art history, theatre, film, and television acting, home renovation and custom carpentry as well as teaching in the acupuncture program at Maryland University of Integrative Health (MUIH)( formerly Tai Sophia Institute). I also write a monthly wellness column for the Emmitsburg (MD) News Journal.
I have completed graduate studies in a wide range of fields: photography at Maryland Institute: College of Art, acting at the American Repertory Theatre Institute for Advance Theatre Study at Harvard University, the Applied Healing Arts at Sophia Institute, and acupuncture at Maryland University of integrative Health (formerly Tai Sophia Institute).
I continue my studies of qigong, medical qigong, and Chinese medicine with Dr. Nan Lu who is a grandmaster of Wu Ming Qigong and the founder of the Traditional Chinese Medicine World Foundation in New York City.
In addition to the Ruscombe Mansion Wellness Community, I practice at the Healing Arts Center in Gettysburg, PA. To learn more about my beliefs and how I can help, visit www.jeffersonbrelandacupuncture.org. To contact me, call 410-336-5876 or email jeffersonacupuncture@gmail.com
