Jocelyn Teal knows massage therapy can be life changing because it was the catalyst for her own healing journey. Jocelyn graduated with an 800 hour massage certificate from East West College of the Healing Arts for massage therapy in 2014. After she completed school, she grew her skills and effectiveness working in the field while working at a variety of fast paced clinical settings with many different walks of life including working along side Acupuncturists, Chiropractors and other skilled sports and deep tissue massage therapists until opening her own practice in 2017.
With almost a decade of experience now, she deeply understands the benefit of maintaining the human body’s function through the power of creating safe space and informed touch, reminding those she gets to work with to more regularly appreciate and care for their bodies, physically and emotionally. Jocelyn’s mission is to help others deepen their self care routines by offering a healing session that is uniquely designed to support the individual exactly where they are.

I began my medical career in 2008 as a doctor, obtaining an allopathic medical degree in 2014 in my home country, Barbados. After 12 months of working as a medical intern in a public hospital in Trinidad, I decided to pursue a degree in natural medicine instead of continuing on to a medical residency program. My dream was to pursue and practice a form of medicine that complemented the body’s innate abilities of self-healing, viewed each person as an individual and shared my beliefs in the mind-body connection for healing. It was at NUNM in Portland, OR, where I found my home in Classical Chinese Medicine.
My acupuncture style follows closely with Traditional Japanese techniques which are gentle and incredibly effective. Such techniques include gentle insertive needling, non-insertive needling, moxibustion and gentle bodywork such as sotai, myofascial release and cranialsacral therapy. I enjoy working with a diverse patient population with conditions such as acute and chronic pain, physical rehabilitation (such as neurological conditions, injury, stroke) and the secondary stress, anxiety and depression that can result.
I have chosen not to be a licensed MD in the United States but enjoy using my medical knowledge in understanding my patients from a biomedical perspective, speaking and translating the Western language of medicine, and combining it with my knowledge of East Asian medicine. I am a national board-certified acupuncturist with the NCCAOM and Oregon Medical Board.
