Healing at Your Own Pace: Personalized Traditional Chinese Medicine & Telemedicine

 

‘Any healing process- whether recovery from infection, physical trauma, or psychological distress-must entail the stimulation and direction of the body’s own restorative functions.  In former times these functions were called the Vis Mediatrix Naturae ‘The Healing Power of Nature.’

Chinese, Japanese, 5 Elements, Esoteric, Alchemical and Classical-Style Acupuncture

For thousands of years, acupuncture—a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine—has worked with the body’s natural energy circulation. By harnessing the body’s intricate bioelectric systems, this practice preserves optimal function and restores balance to its internal flow. Acupuncture meridian systems act as holographically interconnected maps, forming vital pathways that bridge the body, mind, and spirit. 

My extensive training in Chinese, Japanese, Classical, Esoteric, Alchemical and Five Element styles provides me with a comprehensive skillset to meet diverse patient needs. Because every individual responds uniquely to treatment, I utilize these sophisticated, varied techniques to ensure the most effective and personalized care.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

As a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (D.O.M.) and a nationally licensed Chinese Herbalist, I bring a 5,000-year-old tradition of natural primary healthcare to modern, wholistic wellness. With four years of specialized training and successful completion of national board exams, I focus on understanding individual symptom presentation and constitutional presentation, emphasizing both prevention and treatment. I craft customized herbal formulas based on centuries of clinical success to achieve synergistic effects and superior efficacy. These herbal remedies are safe, effective, and can be integrated with Western medication under my professional guidance. I specialize in developing these tailored formulas, and all custom or patented formulas must be prescribed by me for fulfillment.

Shamanic Healing Sessions 

Shamanic healing addresses spiritual and energetic roots of imbalance, working with spirit guides to clear blockages and restore wholeness, leading to profound shifts in physical, emotional, and mental well-being, often manifesting as deep relaxation, clarity, released trauma, and a renewed sense of purpose; it’s a profound, wholistic transformation requiring openness from the client to connect with inner power and ancestral wisdom.  My shamanic healing work does not include substances, psychedelics or entheogens.

Shamanic healing sessions are available worldwide via Zoom. Because we are energetic beings, distance is not a limitation; I work directly with your biofield to provide healing, regardless of physical proximity.

Energy Medicine Treatments

As a practitioner of Energy Medicine, Internal Energy Qigong, and  Shamanism, I treat meridian pathways in their original, interconnected form—not merely as a “protocol of points.” While Western-style acupuncture often separates these practices from their roots, my approach restores the foundational energy medicine of ancient times. Whether through specialized acupuncture or stand-alone Energetic Healing, I focus on the comprehensive, traditional system to maximize healing, requiring a deeper level of practitioner participation than standard methods. 

Esoteric and Alchemical acupuncture

Embark on a journey of inner alchemy. Through targeted esoteric meridian patterns, these treatments harmonize the energetic, emotional, and physical bodies, opening the doorways to higher consciousness. By weaving together the wisdom of platonic solids, quantum energy, and conscious intention, these sessions clear energetic, mental, and astral obstacles, allowing you to embody your divine blueprint and align with your soul’s purpose.

Qigong Instruction

Combining rooted TCM principles with Qigong’s slow, mindful movement, diaphragmatic breathing, and meditative intent significantly enhances energy flow, reduces stagnation, and promotes wholistic healing. This integration balances Yin and Yang, allowing for -effortless power- (Wu Wei) and improved vitality by conserving life-force. Qigong serves as a comprehensive system for health maintenance, injury recovery, and improved, fluid circulation.

Combining Elements to Improve Flow: 

  • Regulating Body (Movement): Using soft, flowing movements prevents physical strain and improves circulation.
  • Regulating Breath (Breathing): Slow, deep, and rhythmic abdominal breathing increases oxygen intake and directs energy
  • Regulating Mind (Intent): Using meditation and focused intention connects the mind and body, directing to specific areas for healing.
  • Balancing Yin & Yang: The combination of gentle movement (Yang) and stillness/relaxation (Yin) fosters a balanced, healthy state.
  • Wu Wei (Effortless Action): By mastering timing and avoiding strain, the practitioner conserves Qi and achieves effortless power. 

This service is available to established patients both in-person and virtually, either as a standalone offering or included in a package

Animal Energetic healing sessions

RareBird Acupuncture offers healing sessions for animals using Acupressure, Tuina and hands on energy healing techniques. At this time animal healing sessions are provided via house calls.

Speciality Acupuncuture Treatments and Home Care

Chinese medicine has many branches and specialities that require additional training and clinical hours, including Cosmetic Rejuvenation acupuncture and Pediatric care for children up to 12 yrs old. House calls and Home Care services are also available for ease of care.

Cosmetic Rejuvenation Acupuncture

This treatment revitalizes your complexion by stimulating Qi and blood circulation, promoting natural radiance, hydration, and collagen production. From both traditional and Western medical perspectives, targeted needling improves muscle tone, boosts elastin, and encourages cell regeneration—effectively addressing fine lines, tight jaws, and skin conditions like acne. 

My practice integrates constitutional acupuncture with specialized cosmetic techniques, enhanced by facial cupping, gua sha, and crystal rollers. For comprehensive rejuvenation, I also offer derma rolling and targeted treatments for scarring or stretch marks. By balancing your specific facial needs with total-body care, I help you achieve a radiant glow from the inside out.  Read more about it 

Recommended Frequency of Sessions for Best Results

For optimal and lasting results, 12 consecutive treatments followed by one or two yearly follow-ups are recommended. However, even if you choose to come monthly or try it just once, you will still witness glowing results.

Pediatrics

While pediatric Chinese medicine applies traditional concepts to children, it is a distinct specialty defined by a unique energetic framework. Children possess a different energetic anatomy and physiology than adults, requiring specialized approaches to assessment, point selection, and treatment techniques. Read More About it

Evaluation and Diagnosis: Children are relatively unable to communicate subtle signs and symptoms. This inquiring phase is conducted with the child and the parent or caregiver. When a child is 6 or 7 years old, standard traditional Chinese medicine differentiations of tongue and pulse may be applied.

Treatment options: Treating children is uniquely rewarding. For patients from birth through age twelve, I prioritize non-insertive techniques and pediatric massage (Tui Na), specifically adapted to each child’s age and developmental stage. Depending on their needs, I may also prescribe Chinese herbal formulas, recommend dietary adjustments, or provide acupuncture for older children when appropriate 

Common Conditions Treated for Babies and Children: Like adults, conditions can vary. A growing child may experience more stomach aches, constipation, common colds, as well as skin conditions. Other conditions that I treat are insomnia, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and anxiety.

House calls and Home care visits

To accommodate your needs, I offer two distinct off-site acupuncture services:

  • Home Care Treatments: Available for new or existing patients unable to travel, including specialized, compassionate end-of-life care. House calls visits are also available. 
  • On-Site Community Acupuncture: Group sessions brought directly to your location.

Testimonials

"Jean is a gifted healer/D.O.M. I have worked with her for more than a year now and see her regularly - it can be for specific issues but the experience is so supportive that it is also for general care and nurturance. Her care during sessions is extraordinary. She listens intently and asks excellent questions; she combines both incredible knowledge and skill with an intuitive sense. This integration is powerful. Highly recommended."
— Katherine Y.
"Jean is an extremely skillful and intuitive practitioner. I feel fantastic after her treatments."
— Lara T.
"Dr. Loscalzo at RareBird Acupuncture is among the most masterful healers I have known. Dr. Jean utilizes her deep knowledge of Chinese medicine and herbs to potently treat patients with her subtle medicine. Dr. Jean seems also to tap both her wisdom and intuition to support not only the physical body, but also the spirit and emotional bodies. Her treatments are skillful, loving, and generous, and ultimately support deep healing at a cellular level. Dr. Jean has treated my hormonal issues, muscular tension, stress, and organ diseases. I am so grateful to her, and could not recommend her more highly."
— Holly D. B.
"Jean is a gentle, nurturing and extremely knowledgeable healer. I went to her feeling very stressed out and worn down and there was an annoying pain behind my right shoulder blade. I have no idea how or why it works, (Jean could explain it) but she got things "moving." I felt like I was shedding layers of armor. It was actually very emotional which I wasn't expecting. When she was finished with my treatment I felt relaxed, rejuvenated and a little sleepy in a very cozy way. The next day I felt totally re-energized."
— Kirsten K.
"I've seen Jean for several treatments for my neck/back injury. She is the BEST in the healing work she delivers on all levels mind, body, spirit. I have less discomfort to continue my active lifestyle and feel more balanced from within. She is a compassionate, knowledgeable expert in her work. Her healing capabilities during all sessions are extraordinary! Cupping therapy she does as well is truly remarkable! I am so lucky and blessed to have found such a great Acupunture/Chinese medicine Dr. Thank you Jean :)"
— Kassi F.
"In a recent acupuncture session with Jean Loscalzo of Rarebird Acupuncture, she brought to my attention areas of my health that needed support that I would not have otherwise known, as they did not manifest in any obvious 'symptoms'. I was then able to fine tune my daily habits to help those issues before they could turn into bigger health problems. She not only treats her patients physically, but her caring soul and vast knowledge makes her a true spiritual healer. I feel better and wiser after being treated by Jean and highly recommend her treatments to all."
— Orianne C.
"Jean is truly gifted in her healing abilities. Her treatment is holistic, Jean sits and listens to how you've been feeling, what's going on with you (physically, emotionally, your sleep, your diet, work, stress, etc.). She then uses needles, cupping, moxibustion, gua sha, herbs, etc to tailor that day's treatment. I've seen tangible results after one treatment and the long term results are immeasurable."
— Adah B.
"I visited Jean to get a general 'tune-up' and also we addressed some issues I have had with mobility in my shoulder and circulation in my arms and hands. As she went to work, we ended up discussing and beginning to address so much more. In one session, I felt something 'move' or 'open up' that was quite positive in those areas. Jean is extremely knowledgeable about working with the body in a lot of different modes, and was thorough in her questioning in a way that felt very productive. It's a bit hard to put into words, but Jean has a special touch and you will be in good hands with her. If only I lived in Santa Fe so I could visit her regularly!"
— Justine H.
"Jean Loscalzo of Rare Bird Acupuncture is wonderful. I have long standing back problems due to an autoimmune disorder. In addition to pain and lack of mobility, it causes sleep problems, thyroid dysfunction, fatigue, and anxiety. She is able to use her many tools to help me to have more energy and pain relief. One very helpful trait is adaptability- I recently came in with severe back pain and she used a variety of techniques that together helped a lot! Her treatments also improve my sleep and stress level tremendously. I can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you for all your help, Jean!"
— Heather V.
"I have been doing acupuncture detox with Dr. Jean at Inside Out for over a year now. I have noticed so many changes in my life because of it. When I first started doing acupuncture I wasn’t sure what to expect. I didn’t understand how it even worked but living in recovery has helped me to learn to try new things and step outside of my comfort zone and be willing do the unknown, So, I did. It has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. I was having a hard time setting boundaries, having a hard time knowing how I felt, having a hard time expressing how I felt, and slowly the acupuncture helped me to do those things. I think it was at that time when I realized that acupuncture connects your body to your mind, when you mind is in tune with your body WOW, I just can’t explain it. I continue to grow in recovery and when I am not doing acupuncture I can feel the difference. I am so grateful that I get to go to inside out and do acupuncture every week. It has helped me in so many ways."
— B.G., Inside Out Recovery Center, Española
"Jean is a talented healer and facilitator of Chinese medicine. As a nurse practitioner I am discerning with who I see for healing. Jean has impressed me in her treatments of my physical, emotional and esoteric challenges. Her treatments are a complimentary balance to western medicine. I highly recommend her."
— Sally S.
"Dr. Jean is intuitive, highly skilled and creative in her approach to treating her patients. I have seen her off and on for 3 years for a variety of issues and she always listens and comes up with a solution. I highly recommend her!"
— Carol C.
"Jean is a gem, caring and concerned with a wealth of knowledge. Her treatment of my various complaints, primarily dealing with aches and pains due to arthritis always gave me relief. I cannot say enough about her treatment of my concerns and highly recommend her to all my friends."
— Deborah L. S.
"Jean has a unique way about how she goes about her treatments, combining traditional practices with intuitive abilities. I was amazed how I barely felt the needles going in! I have never experienced this with other practitioners. After my treatments with Jean I discovered health issues that I now have recovered from. Jean’s awareness also helped me to focus on some areas of my body that needed direct attention which has been super valuable. I HIGHLY recommend Jean to anyone seeking relief and guidance in their health and emotional healings."
— Michelle F.
"I have been seeing Jean regularly for a variety of issues since 2019 and I am deeply indebted to Jean for all of the healing work she’s done for me. I originally reached out seeking aid for a congenital heart issue after I responded poorly to multiple medications - I had read a paper about treating the condition with acupuncture and thought it was worth a shot. My heart issue won’t “go away” without surgical intervention, but the work Jean does drastically reduces the symptoms and, in turn, my stress levels surrounding it. Since I’ve been going to Jean, she has also treated me for a variety of ailments and injuries beyond the heart. She resolved (in a single session, mind you) a very painful lower back issue that I had lived with for years - having seen multiple specialists who couldn’t figure out the problem without attempting something “exploratory” (I have no desire to be opened up unless necessary). She has treated the lingering effects of a shingles infection. She helped me heal my stomach after it was wrecked by one of the heart medications. She has treated me for more minor injuries and problems than I can remember. On the journey to homeostasis, Jean has also guided me mentally and spiritually and helped me work on less physical, though no less important, aspects of my health and wellbeing. In my personal experience, many doctors are in the healing profession but aren’t healers. I think Jean was destined to be a healer regardless of her profession - we just got lucky that she chose to be a doctor and that she's in Santa Fe."

Pulse Diagnosis– In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the pulse is more than a heart rate; it is a gateway to the meridian and organ system. By evaluating upwards of 17 different pulse qualities on each wrist, I can determine the precise needs of your body. I work in this traditional way- letting the pulse dictate the treatment, rather than relying on predetermined protocols.

Tui Na Massage Therapy is an ancient healing art that promotes balance by restoring the harmonious flow of Qi.

Utilizing various specialized tools to increase microcirculation, reduces inflammation, and promotes lymphatic drainage. It acts on the subcutaneous tissue to release muscle tension and, traditionally, to address internal illness

Unlike conventional heaters, it features a special mineral-coated plate that releases essential trace elements when heated.

The National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) auricular protocol is a widely used, complementary, drug free acupuncture therapy that supports recovery by addressing physical, emotional and psychological aspects of addiction, smoking cessation, and trauma. Ideally integrated into comprehensive community care, this non-verbal, group-based approach aids detoxification and stabilizes patients. 

I offer these services in office and on-site in community settings.  My supervisor license allows me to oversee up to 30 NADA practitoners.
