About Jean Menges
Jean Chuang Menges, M.S., L.Ac., Dipl.C.H., CBP, ParBP
All too often it's the practitioner who gathers information about the client, and the client knows little of the practitioner or the practice. I would like to tell you a little about my roots.
Before my family immigrated to the United States, I spent the first ten years of my childhood living with my grandparents in a rice farming village in Taiwan. They introduced me to the ancient Chinese practices of health and longevity. We ate a variety of fresh foods, prevented ill-heath by supplementing our diet with Chinese herbs and spices, and coordinated our daily activities according to the rhythms of Mother Nature. We maintained close family and community interactions, honored our ancestors, and followed the time-honored spiritual traditions and customs.
My interest in and knowledge of western medical sciences began early in high school. I volunteered in hospitals and performed laboratory research studies during my summer vacation. After attaining Bachelors degrees in both Medical Technology and Biology from Case Western Reserve in Cleveland, Ohio, through pre-med studies, I continued to pursue and learn other techniques to enhance my skills. Working with acupuncture and various healing modalities have further deepened my understanding of each healing journey I make with my clients.
One of the basic principles of holistic healing is that our bodies have the tools we need to heal ourselves. As a practitioner, my role is to find the most efficient ways to maintain a balanced body, mind, and spirit in order for this type of healing to happen. I am honored when my clients say, "Jean is a remarkably talented natural healer." They also say that I never hesitate to refer if I feel another practitioner may better meet a particular healing need. I am able to help my clients because I believe with all my heart that the healing must happen from within.
I have established my practice in Manhattan where my husband, Jon, pursues his career as a musician and composer (www.mengesmusic.com). He is a trumpet player, music teacher, and leader of his own Jazz Band. We share the care of our two young children.
Every day I am grateful that I am on this path of healing and balanced living. I feel blessed that my clients can share the internal peace and serenity I have come to understand. Combining my knowledge of ancient Chinese wisdom stemming from my childhood in Taiwan along with other sacred body, mind, and spiritual practices, my life can best be summed up as "searching for the healing within."
My personal promise: I am passionate about being a partner in your healing journey. I continue to pursuit invaluable up-to-date holistic principles and therapies to improve your bodymind communication. My commitment is to providing a calm, safe, healing environment so that you can uncover your own gifts as you integrate your physical, emotional, mental, and spirit levels.
