A Chinese Medicine Practitioner can utilize the same methods of diagnosis, pattern differentiation method and treatment that Practitioners have been using for thousands of years, to treat that very same pattern often with profound results. One of the big differences between Western medicine and Chinese Medicine is that Chinese Medicine is focused on restoring the functional mechanisms affecting the whole person versus fixing one small part and ignoring the rest.

Since completing the intensive 4-year program at the Canadian College of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine in Victoria BC, I’ve been in practice for about 20 years. I also hold licenses to practice as a Registered Acupuncturist and a Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner. I have served on our largest provincial association (ATCMA of BC) for 6 years, 2 of those years as the president.

I’m committed to furthering my education, and I offer practical and empathetic care with a unique approach for every patient. We’re all different, and we all need different things. Everyone has their own path to healing and recovery and I’m here to assist you along yours.

I’ve completed extensive post-graduate training including the following:

A 1-year post graduate program with Dr. Edward Neal at the Institute of Neijing Studies, where I was able to do a deep exploration into one of the most important, historical, foundational Acupuncture texts that dates back 3000+ years – The Huang Di Nei Jing.

A 2-year postgraduate program at The Institute of Classics of East Asian Medicine (www.iceam.org) a deep dive into Chinese herbal Medicine studying with some of the best and brightest minds in Chinese Herbal Medicine. Since graduating, I have continued advanced studies with this institute on a consistent and regular basis, joining approximately 450 graduates from this program from around the world in studying and refining our skills as practitioners of classical Chinese herbal medicine. I am now in my 12th year of advanced study with ICEAM.

In my practice, I use a variety of Chinese Medicine modalities, including acupuncture, fire cupping and silicone cupping, gua sha, tuina (massage), and Chinese herbal Medicine along with modern treatment modalities such as IMS and dry needling.

I’m especially drawn to treating symptoms of stress, insomnia, depression, menstrual issues such as dysmenorrhea and PMS, skin concerns, digestive conditions, and autoimmune conditions, but I can utilize Chinese Medicine principles to address a wide variety of health concerns. I have a keen interest in treating the whole person and not just the symptoms.

Yoga Therapy
Restorative Yoga

Hi there! My name is Jill, I am honored to be part of the community here at Fermata Integrated Health.

Since 2004, amongst raising my three children and experiencing this crazy beautiful life, I have held quite a strong Yoga & Mediation practice and also found some time to dive into several Yoga Teacher Trainings. In January of 2012 I began my teacher training journey with Moksha Yoga (Hatha) in Brazil. I have since continued my education studying Yoga Therapy with Susie Hatley, Restorative Yoga with Judith Lassiter, Vinyasa Flow with Seane Corn, PowerFlow (Baptiste Yoga) with Pam Radar, teacher training with Nicki Doane (Maya Yoga), Ashtangha Vinyasa Flow training with Geoff Mackenzie from First Light Yoga, Vancouver, and YOTI (Yoga on the Inside) with Eddie Modestini and Trauma Informed/Sensitive Teacher Training through Yoga West which is affiliated with The Centre for Trauma and Embodiment & TCTYSY (Trauma Centre Trauma Sensitive Yoga).

Every class & training I have taken has been an integral part of creating the teacher I am today, however; no teacher, training or book has prepared me more to stand before you more than this human experience of living life!

Each class I walk into knowing that it has the capacity to be a transformational journey for each individual; the simple fact that I have the opportunity to help facilitate such an experience is an honour. Any opportunity I have to stand before you in the practice room, I am standing WITH you, with great compassion, love, and deep respect for your personal experience.

I look forward to practicing with and guiding each and every human who walks through these doors.

Today my husband and I had 60 minute massages each by Elaine. She is a new therapist for Fermata but has been practicing for quite awhile. All I can say is WOW!!!! It was honestly the best massages we have had in years. She used hot stones and deep tissue massage which we love. I would recommend her to anyone! Best addition to the Fermata team and a true experience as well! Thank you Elaine

Fermata is a wonderful clinic in Kelowna. Sarah Jenkins is the best TCM Practioner and Acupuncturist I have seen in the past 20 years. She is extremely patient, knowledgeable and her treatments are very effective. The clinic is spotless, well designed and the staff are punctual. Highly recommend!

I was dealing with an intolerance to fermented foods and beverages for months thinking there was no other option other than antihystemines. My typical reaction was breaking out in hives all over my body. While getting acupuncture I shared this issue with Sarah who told me she could provide traditional Chinese medicine to treat my condition. I decided I would try it thinking I might see an improvement but instead the treatment proved to be a cure. It has been over a year and I have not had a single re-occurance. Totally amazing, 5 stars for sure!!

Referred to Fernata by my massage therapist and I am forever grateful!! My back was a mess from a car accident and Sarah helped me work through that with her amazing treatments and now I am in maintenance mode which is due to her excellent technique!! I highly recommend acupuncture and this centre!

I found out late in my pregnancy that my baby was breech. Sarah was recommended to me from a friend and I was willing to try anything and everything to get baby in the right position. After 2 treatments baby’s head went down! Sarah is so kind, generous, and gentle. The staff made me feel welcome, relaxed and comfortable as this was my first time going to acupuncture. I could not recommend this clinic enough and Sarah especially for breech babies! She’s Is incredible!! Thank you Sarah!!
