Journey Together
Build meaningful connections with colleagues who are ready for depth, creating a supportive community that understands your journey.
Hybrid Learning
Six immersive in-person weekends seamlessly connected through online platforms, clinical rounds, and ongoing practice integration.
Guided Mentorship
We walk this journey with you, offering guidance and support as you discover your authentic clinical voice, with ongoing access to experienced teachers.
Learn to practice from a different place...
After years of collecting techniques, certifications, and protocols, many practitioners still sense something missing. You likely entered this medicine because you felt its depth—because something in you longed to touch what is real, human, transformative. Somewhere along the way, you may have found yourself doing more while feeling less. Busier, but not necessarily closer to the heart of your work.
An Invitation to go deeper...
This two-year mentorship is an invitation to return to the medicine that first called you. Across six immersive weekends over two years and integrated with options to explore what it truly means to meet your patients where they are. You will remember how to see again—how to truly connect with the person in front of you. Beyond symptoms. Beyond pattern categories. Into the living, unfolding story of a human being trying to find their way back to themselves.
The Emergence of Wisdom
You'll develop the capacity to recognize that profound medicine emerges from genuine presence, not technique. Through specific methods and guided practice, we'll teach you to quiet the analytical mind so your deeper intelligence guides treatment—where points reveal themselves, herbs speak their purpose, and the treatment path becomes clear. This is precise clinical methodology rooted in classical wisdom.
Practitioner Development
This mentorship develops—or reawakens—the practitioner within you who practices from authentic presence. Through careful guidance, you'll learn to work from your deepest knowing, see with trained clarity, and hold space with genuine care. We'll teach you why and how doing less creates conditions for deeper change—this isn't philosophy, it's clinical precision.
Sustained Integration
Between weekends, our online platform supports ongoing integration through practice labs, case discussions, reflection prompts, and mentorship contact—each practitioner engaging at their own depth and pace. Your cohort becomes a professional family: colleagues walking the same path from effort to ease, technique to artistry, doing to being.
How the mentorship works...
This is not a course in methods. It is a journey into becoming and living the medicine. Learning to hold space with such presence. Creating the conditions where healing emerges. These are teachable capacities that can be transformational for you and your patients. This is about potential.
This mentorship is for you if…
You feel called to deepen your medicine.
You’re a licensed acupuncturist who feels something essential is missing from how you’re practicing. You know there is a quieter, more attuned way to show up for your patients—and you’re ready to step into it.
You value clarity, presence, and true connection.
You’re tired of adding more protocols and want depth, clarity, and heart. You feel drawn to a style of practice that prioritizes awareness over accumulation, and relationship over routine.
You want your work to reflect the heart of who you are.
You’re ready for your treatments to feel more like artistry—rooted in authentic presence, guided by what emerges, and aligned with the medicine that first inspired you.
- Meet Your Teachers - Dr. Devynne & Dr. James
We are a father–daughter team of Five Element acupuncturists who have spent years building practices rooted in presence, relationship, and real clinical outcomes. We created this mentorship for practitioners who feel the same pull we did—to move beyond technique and into the living art of medicine. Our work is grounded in classical wisdom, lived clinical experience, and a deep respect for the people who trust us with their healing.
Reflections from the Treatment Room
A few words from our patients...
"I am grateful to have discovered Jing Shen Healing Arts. I suffered years of an undefined illness with symptoms of insomnia, digestion issues, exercise and heat intolerance, plus anxiety. Dr. James crafts herbal medicine exactly for me, as needed. He is gentle with his needles. His Moxibustion treatments have a magical way of breaking open the hard shell that years of illness have wrought. I enjoy his quiet insights into Five Element Theory. Dr. James listens to me. He uses his intuition, plus story telling to nudge me into taking care of myself. He has a beautiful respect for the human spirit. Now, in less than a year, I sleep well, eat a large variety of foods, and have the stamina to build a healthy and vibrant life. Most of all I have some peace with myself. I continue to steadily improve beyond my wildest hope.

Jing Shen Healing Arts
“I have been blessed over the years to have experienced Acupuncture in a couple of different styles before finding Jing Shen Healing Arts. My introduction to Acupuncture was to treat hip pain. It was great, and it was helpful. However, I was later introduced to a style of Acupuncture called Five Element. That treatment was amazing! It was different; without a doubt, Five Element was completely different from any other treatments I had ever received. These treatments helped the physical pain but also touched on some of my buried emotional pain. Without the need to talk about it, the Five Element treatments were helping me heal some trauma I had kept to myself and buried for years. Honestly, I had always dismissed it as “everyone’s got stuff,” and we all do. Still, suddenly I realized that I didn’t have to keep carting it around with me. I had not realized the depth of the pain, hurt, and anger that was deeply there until I started my personal wellness journey. I am humbled and completely grateful to Dr. James and Dr. Devynne for the Beautiful work they do and all they continue to do for the community and those who are blessed enough to cross your path.
