Upcoming Workshops

Jade Integrated Health offers a variety of wellness and education based workshops throughout the year. These workshops often draw from the different services we provide at our locations and typically include providers from different background to form a whole human approach. This means that you may see a physical therapist, acupuncturist, yoga teacher, or massage therapist teaming up for a workshop. If there is a topic or workshop you are interested in Jade providing, please let us know!

Could Fascia Explain Your Menopause Aches and Pains?
Could Fascia Explain Your Menopause Aches and Pains?

If you've noticed more stiffness, aching joints, or that it takes longer to "warm up" after sitting, you're not imagining it, and it may not be "just aging."

During perimenopause and menopause, hormonal changes affect your fascia, the connective tissue that supports and connects your entire body. As estrogen declines, fascia can become less hydrated, less elastic, and more sensitive, contributing to many of the aches and pains women experience during this stage of life.

The good news? Movement can help, but not all movement is created equal.

This May marks 30 years as a physical therapist — a journey that began with awe for a five-year mentor and grew into a deep passion for women’s health, pelvic care, and whole-person treatment.

It's Ski & Board Season! How to Warm Up & Cool Down to Prevent Injury

If you’re heading to the slopes this season, you probably have long car rides ahead of you. Once you arrive at the mountain, but before you get those boots on, consider doing a dynamic warm up to get ready for the day. The following activities can be done standing, so no need to get onto cold ground or a dirty floor.  

The Surprising Link Between Eating Raw Foods And Disrupted Digestion
The Surprising Link Between Eating Raw Foods And Disrupted Digestion

In Chinese Medicine, we compare the digestive system to a pot of boiling water that needs to cook any food or drink we ingest before transporting the nutrients to our cells or transforming it to waste. If we’re consistently eating cold or raw food, especially during the winter months, this weakens the digestive fire’s ability to cook the food before transforming and transporting it.

Jade's Origin Story
Jade's Origin Story


Once upon a time, when John graduated from Eastern Medical School, we moved to Maine.  Back in 2001, acupuncturists were rarely hired into positions, but most expected to open their own practices.  We opened Jade April 1, 2001 on 195 Congress St on Munjoy Hill.  John started working full time to build an acupuncture practice in our 600 square foot, 3 treatment room office.  We had a small waiting area and office with an herbal pharmacy.  At the time, our rent was $750/month and we had no idea if there would be patients to support our practice.

Currently, as the end of Summer approaches, many of us will be pulled in many more directions as our various duties and responsibilities return.  Acupuncturists view this time of year and name it "Duo Yuo", a time of change generally moving from one season to another.  Greater amounts of opportunity are available during times of transition.  It is important to clarify parts of life that add vital energy, and the aspects that deplete the best parts of our mind, spirit or body.  Simply put, what adds to your bucket and what aspect of life drains from your bucket and, are they in balance?

Summer is less than a month away marked by the Summer Solstice that follows a full moon.  That is by far the happiest sentence I’ve written so far this year.  Summer is the time of year where temperature, culture, traditions and we as individuals exhibit the most Yang type activities in the most Yang of environments.
