Jen Resnick
Jen Resnick came to Traditional Chinese Medicine through the practice and teaching of the martial arts. Her 25 years of movement studies led her to investigate theories of the body in Chinese medicine and in meditation practice. She attended Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in NY and fell in love with the breadth and depth of Chinese medicine. She concurrently began an internship with Frank Butler at Soho Herbs & Acupuncture, which she continues today.
An international champion and nationally-renown martial arts instructor, Jen began her TCM practice in the Bay Area of San Francisco where she also was the Executive Director and Head Instructor of Hand To Hand, a community martial arts center. There, she combined Chinese medicine theory with the practice of martial arts, qi gong and meditation to investigate the path of somatic healing and empowerment through movement. Her training in Qi Gong and Zheng Gu Tui Na trauma medicine allows her, in turn, to effectively treat sports injuries and musculoskeletal pain.
Jen is also a founding member of the Global Alternative Healthcare Project, one of the first organizations to offer TCM-based medical aid internationally. She has traveled to Indonesia, Nepal, and worked with Native American and Latino communities delivering free healthcare to people in need.
Jen’s educational background includes a B.A. in Semiotics from Brown University and graduate studies at San Francisco State University.
