Dr. Jenna Valentine founder of Valentine Care: Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine, Coaching and more in Austin Texas.
Dr. Valentine started her practice, Valentine Care, in 2018. But how did she get here? Her extensive education began at Occidental College, where she majored in Psychology and minored in Spanish. Her psychology major — paired with her naturally chill and empathetic nature — has shaped her unique approach to healing. She incorporates coaching for individuals and couples into her practice, firmly believing that healing involves both emotional and physical well-being. She offers this through a method she calls somatic exploration™, a version of Hakomi therapy.
After college, Dr. Valentine felt drawn to acupuncture, inspired by life changes that gave her the chance to reflect on what would bring her the most joy in a career. Having experienced the benefits of acupuncture for many years, she recalls that “it lit her up to think of offering it to others.” This passion led her to earn a Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from AOMA, followed by a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from Pacific College of Health and Science.
In addition to her formal education, Dr. Valentine holds certifications in functional medicine, advanced cupping, and is an AOBTA-certified practitioner of tuina.
But Dr. Valentine isn’t all business. When she’s not being a total boss helping people at Valentine Care, she’s geeking out over reading blood labs, meditating, and diving deep into breathwork and mindset research. A lifelong learner, she’s always reading multiple books at once and is committed to understanding — and helping fix — the gaps in today’s healthcare system. She also enjoys podcasts and exploring the natural beauty of Austin.
Most importantly, Dr. Valentine is a proud mother to her amazing daughter, Colby, who admires everything about her.
Dr. Valentine is so excited to meet — or continue working with — each one of you!
