Jack T. G. Schwem, LAc
I moved with Dawn to Minneapolis to attend Northwestern Health Sciences University from which I graduated with a Masters of Acupuncture in 2022. I chose Northwestern because of the integrative focus and had the excellent opportunity to work in integrated student clinics where patients got to see a team of practitioners all working together to help them heal. I look forward to expanding my network of clinicians and perpetuating the lessons learned in these integrative clinics.
I feel profoundly honored to be practicing this potent and subtle medicine. As an acupuncturist I have helped people’s easy breathing come back after bounds of long covid, seen people make strides towards health after traumatic brain injuries, got people back to favorite activities. Practicing acupuncture continues to be a journey filled with all the joy of learning how human bodies work with the added wonder of seeing those bodies work better week after week.

My brand value skyrocketed and I could charge 5 times more than before
