About Jessie

My path to Chinese medicine has always been rooted in caring for people during life's most meaningful transitions.

As a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, licensed acupuncturist, and licensed massage therapist, I believe healing begins by listening. Every person has a unique story, and my goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for.

Throughout my training, I found myself continually drawn to the moments that often receive the least support, the beginning and the end of life. My studies in midwifery deepened my appreciation for pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period, teaching me to honor the profound physical and emotional changes that accompany becoming a parent. Also, I’m in the process of completing a nine-month mentorship focused on integrating acupuncture into end-of-life care, where I learned gentle approaches to supporting individuals living with serious illness while also caring for the families who walk alongside them.

These experiences shaped the heart of The Nesting Tree.

Whether I'm supporting someone as they recover after birth, helping a family navigate the final chapter of a loved one's life, or caring for someone living with chronic illness or significant life changes, my approach remains the same: thoughtful, individualized, and grounded in both the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine and modern clinical understanding.

The Nesting Tree was created from the belief that healthcare should feel deeply human. Like the shelter of a tree, I hope this practice offers a place where you can rest, regain your strength, and receive compassionate care through every season of life.

It is a privilege to be welcomed into your home and trusted during these important moments. I look forward to walking alongside you with presence, respect, and care.

Dr. Jessie Avery, DACM, L.Ac., LMT.
