Hi, I’m Jennifer Faigin, DAc, Dipl. Ac., LAc., LMT, founder of Cedar & Sage Acupuncture in Scottsdale and Mesa, Arizona. I’ve been married to my wife for 30 years, and we built Cedar & Sage together. So, when I say everyone is welcome here, I don’t mean it as a slogan. It’s how we live.
I’ve spent more than 30 years in the healing arts. I actually began as an equine massage therapist, training under Mary Schreiber at Equissage in Round Hill, Virginia, before adding human clients. I became a licensed massage therapist in Texas and Arizona after training at the Austin School of Massage Therapy, and spent decades learning how stress, pain, and life show up in the body. I went on to earn my master’s and doctorate in acupuncture from the Phoenix Institute of Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture. I’m board certified nationally and licensed in Arizona, and I practice Traditional Chinese Medicine as the complete medical system it is.
My approach is simple: listen first. Many LGBTQ+ people have walked into a medical office and had to brace themselves, whether that meant correcting assumptions, explaining their family, or wondering if they’d be judged. You won’t have to do that here. My intake form asks for your chosen name, gender, and pronouns from the start. Come as you are, bring who you love, and tell me what’s really going on.
I help people with many issues including stress and anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain and tension, headaches, digestive issues, fatigue, menopause and hormonal changes for anyone who goes through them, and the side effects of cancer treatment. My services include acupuncture, electroacupuncture, Tui Na, fire cupping, gua sha, dry needling, and acupuncture point injection therapy. I also offer lower-cost community acupuncture on select dates.
Your first visit includes a full consultation and your first treatment, so we have time to actually talk. Cedar & Sage is cash-pay with upfront pricing, so there are no surprises. I see patients in Scottsdale Thursday through Sunday and in Mesa on Wednesdays. Call or text (480) 754-9059 or visit cedarandsageacupuncture.com.
I’d be glad to help you feel better in a space where you never have to explain who you are.
