Jeri Ching-I Ho (she/her/hers)
I am an acupuncturist, bodyworker, Chinese Medicine herbalist, and artist of many walks. To me, service to others means to continually engage in a healing relationship with my whole self - body, heart, mind, and Spirit. I am blessed that years of study and service have culminated in a Women’s Whole Health practice based in my hometown of Denver, CO. My Chinese Medicine practice springs from and continues to be inspired by the healing and sense of empowerment that activates when I am able to completely surrender and relax into the moment in my Taichi practice.
I was drawn to the Chinese Healing Arts - including ancient Chinese philosophy, meditation, acupuncture and the internal martial arts - in college as a way to better understand myself, my heritage, and my physical and mental health where Biomedicine provided mainly symptomatic relief. In the process, I rediscovered a deepened sense of empowerment and self authority in the healing process. It is the experience of re-discovering belonging within myself and experiencing my body’s innate healing capacity that I most wish to share with others on their healing journey. With gratitude for this life-long journey, I am dedicated to helping you rediscover empowerment within your healing process, no matter where you may be.
When not practicing Chinese Medicine, I love discovering and interacting with human history outdoors, expressing myself through words, movement, music and crafts, and cat-napping in the sun! In my next life, I hope to be an indoor-outdoor house cat or a movement artist to the likes of Bruno Mars!
Whole Women’s Health
As women we cycle - like the tides, the sun, the moon, and the seasons; it is this deep rhythm coursing within us, which manifests every month, that ties us to the rhythms of Nature. As long as a woman cycles, her overall health is closely tied to, is based in, and we are able to understand any health challenges through the health of her Cycle. My work is rooted in the health, attunement, and maintenance of our nervous and reproductive systems, which are inextricably connected, whether a woman is still cycling or not, so that your entire system works in synchronized harmony, as it's meant to.
Standing on the shoulders of giants
I am humbled and blessed to practice the powerful and complete medical system of Oriental Medicine that bears 3,000+ years of history, and bear witness its amazing effects in practice. For 3,000+ years generations of clinicians have recorded and passed down their observations, findings, and results. I continue to deepen and expand my Oriental Medicine understanding and skills through Classical Chinese Medicine through the lineage of Jeffrey Yuen, the Japanese tradition of Iyashi No Michi on Shinkyu University, and a Five Elements perspective with Thea Elijah, as well as integrative fertility with Randine Lewis and Fertile Soul. My Martial Arts background comes from my teachers Cui Yan and Sifu Frank Paolillo. My current Chinese Medicine practice is the aggregate of the generations of practitioners and teachers that came before me and are also my contemporaries.
Special thanks to the generosity in Spirit and dedication of my contemporary teachers and clinicians who continue to practice, cultivate, evolve and teach their extraordinary experience, knowledge, wisdom, and learnings from their teachers so that Oriental Medicine continues to be a viable alternative and truly shines… Thank YOU.
