Greetings, I am Jewels Kalkan, a passionate practitioner deeply committed to holistic health and well-being. My journey into the realm of healing commenced in 1986 when I ventured into the fields of Massage and Nutrition services. Over the years, I have meticulously honed my skills to offer comprehensive care to my cherished clients.
My pathway to the world of holistic healing was forged through firsthand experiences. Having triumphed over two leg fractures, I embarked on a life changing transformation, seeking healing therapies as a client on my path to recovery. This journey ignited a profound realization – my purpose was to bestow the gift of healing upon others. Fueled by my own healing odyssey, I embarked on an intensive 5-year Chinese Medicine course, culminating in the establishment of my clinic in 2000.
I take great pride in achieving and maintaining my National Board Certification and the privilege of being a Licensed Acupuncturist in Montana, USA, a distinction I’ve held for more than two decades.
My origins are closely connected to the stunning natural beauty of Tofino and Victoria on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, where I spent my formative years. And Mexico is a country I’ve also come to call home, that has been a source of inspiration and wonder.
My unwavering commitment to remaining at the forefront of holistic health is vividly reflected in my completion of over 40 certification courses, encompassing Allergy Elimination (N.A.E.T.), Neuro-Emotional Technique (N.E.T.), and Nutritional Counseling. These certifications empower me to provide comprehensive care, adeptly addressing a myriad of health concerns.
Moreover, I have had the privilege of attending seminars with Dr. Richard Tan, a distinguished Grand Master Acupuncturist, from whom I gleaned invaluable insights into his Balance Method for treating pain.
Beyond my formal education, life presented me with additional, informal education through two significant accidents. Post-graduation, I endured the aftermath of a car and motorcycle accident, which resulted in whiplash, a third leg fracture, a crushed ankle, knee surgery, and two more extended periods of being the patient, totaling an additional 4 years of rehab. My personal healing and quest for knowledge continue, with recent encounters including torn muscles, knee bursitis, and shoulder arthritis. As a devoted athlete, I am 100% commitment to maintaining peak fitness and function. I regularly consult with a Sports Chiropractor, Physical Therapist, Acupuncturist and Massage Therapist – this is my chosen lifestyle.
I extend this dedication to my clients, sharing their fervor for a vibrant, pain-free life. My mission remains steadfast – to empower my clients on their journey to holistic wellness, aiding them in leading fulfilled, balanced lives. If you are in search of natural solutions to your health needs, I stand ready to support you, offering guidance and expertise as you embrace the path to well-being.
I am a devoted athlete like you and I believe in the mantra that “Movement is Medicine,” and I embrace the idea that “Prevention is the Best Medicine.” In addition to my passion for snowboarding, kiteboarding, foiling, and mountain biking, I also prioritize weightlifting, swimming, and yoga as essential components of my daily routine. It brings me immense joy to share this active lifestyle with clients who share the same commitment to holistic wellness and optimal health. Together, we believe in the power of movement and prevention to create a healthier, more vibrant life.
Sincerely, Jewels Kalkan L.Ac.
