Body U n b o u n d Acupuncture was established in 2004 upon my graduation from TriState College of Acupuncture. My name is Jodi Rose and I have 16 years of experience treating many different patients. Prior to this, I was also a patient of Acupuncture for quite some time, becoming acquainted with the many wonders of this historical and mystical medicine.  

When I was 23 years old, I was a passenger in a vehicle that was involved in a major car accident. This highly traumatic event left me in chronic pain for 7 years. After many years of physical therapy, MRI's, CAT scans, and visits to many doctors, I was lucky to be told that all was well in my body. But I was in severe pain, depressed, not functioning, and frustrated with the western outlook on health. It wasn't until I found acupuncture that my world changed. The physical pain diminished to a small extent each time I had finished a treatment, but more interesting to me was that my hope and spirit felt lifted. A palpable experience for an elusive concept of self. I was finding my way back, but this time, with a shifted perspective on life, health and healing.

Prior to my experience with Acupuncture the definition of it was all I could understand: small sterile needles inserted into a body in order to move qi, blood, and oxygen. It resonated with me on some levels, enough that I would try it because I was desperate. But how it started to resonate with my physical being, my mind, and my spirit was so much more than I could ever have imagined. My heart became open to healing and I felt safe and nurtured. I became fascinated and fell in love with the practice of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. It felt like a secret, and I knew that no one should have to go through the pain I had gone through for so long. I wanted to help others because I knew what it meant to be in pain, and I had walked through to the other side. I knew the struggle. And I knew then that this was something I had to study and practice. 

Acupuncture is an energetic medicine. The needles alone can help facilitate a faster rate of healing than expected. However, I invite you to become an active participant as I did, by allowing yourself to become open to healing on not only on a physical level, but on an emotional and spiritual level as well. I am always honored to help guide a person through their healing journey. I encourage dialogue as you move from “dis-ease” toward a more harmonious way of living.

Since 2004 here in NYC, and Durham NC, where I lived for 3 years, I have treated many clients with a wide range of issues presenting with anything from muscular skeletal and systemic to the emotional and spiritual.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
