About the Practitioner: Jean Twomey
Greetings! 
I am a Licensed Acupuncturist with an emphasis in nutrition. I am amazed and grateful to be a practitioner of this gentle and powerful medicine.
I understand how much our health issues can affect our quality of life, and the importance of finding solutions to these challenges. Problem solving is a clinic forte!
I am a 2015 summa cum laude graduate of Northwestern Health Sciences University three-year masters program in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, a licensed acupuncturist (L.Ac.) by the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice, and a certified Diplomate (Dipl.O.M.) by our national certification commission, the NCCAOM.
I've had a few other careers before finding this passion. I was an officer in the US Air Force, serving 20 combined years active and reserve duty as a C-5 pilot/aircraft commander and a staff officer 
at the Pentagon, and also worked in the semiconductor industry consulting on production planning and scheduling.
I am a 1992 graduate of the US Air Force Academy, majoring in Operations Research and Economics, and have a Masters of Science degree from the University of California, Berkeley in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research. I began studying alternative medicine in starting in 1999 order to overcome my own health challenges.
I truly believe that illness can be a great teacher, a spark to ignite a personal transformation. My own health challenges have motivated me to search deeply--these have led to participation in workshops throughout the USA at places such as the Esalen Institute, Omega Institute, the Himalayan Institute, the Chi Nei Tsang Institute, the San Francisco School of massage, the Creation Center--studying energy work, physical modalities, and mental and emotional approaches to healing. This deep dive has also included personal transformational workshops and a meditation practice, to recognize and access the wisdom and answers within.
My husband and I are native Minnesotans, and made Aitkin our home in 2016. I enjoy being a mom, cooking, hiking, tickling the piano keys, spending time with family, and playing a mean game of Scrabble.
Your unique health care situation is important to me. I am happy to answer any questions you may have regarding how I can help you.
About the Support Staff
Hi my name is Maggie Moneta and I am the administrative assistant here at Aitkin Acupuncture. I came to find acupuncture as a treatment option because of my own health issues and battles with a rare genetic disorder. I was feeling let down and dismissed by the medical community. I met Jean for the first time in October of 2020 and had such terrific success with my treatments I became a patient for life. We had a great rapport right from the jump, and now, here I am. 😊
I am a native Minnesotan and love everything about this state that we live in!!
I currently live in Glen with my husband John and our dogs Penny and Pebbles. We also have 2 wonderful horses, Roadie and Van. If you ask anyone who knows me, they will tell you I am horse crazy. 😉
Oh and we have 3 grown children and 4 grandchildren too!! We also grow our own garden and raise our own protein every year. Which keeps us very busy. We spend the months of February – April in the Florida Keys at our annual rental. My husband is a devout ocean fisherman so you can find us out on the water anytime the wind stops blowing!!
Whether I am in the office or working from the comfort of a beach chair, I am here to help patients onboard, get answers to their questions, and schedule follow up appointments.
And if you have an hour to kill that you won’t ever get back, ask me about my horses!! 😂
