Dr. Jill Blakeway is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, a licensed and board certified acupuncturist, and clinical herbalist. Jill founded the Yinova Center in New York City in 1999 and continues to practice there alongside a team of Chinese medicine practitioners. She is known for her intuitive approach to Chinese medicine and particularly for her skills as an acupuncturist and energy healer. Jill has always been passionate about helping women achieve a healthy pregnancy—so much so that the New York Times described her as a “fertility goddess” and named her as one of Manhattan’s top acupuncturists. She credits much of her success to combining the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine with modern, conventional biomedicine. To this end, she joined forces with a reproductive endocrinologist to co-author the bestselling book, Making Babies: A Proven 3-Month Program for Maximum Fertility (Little Brown, 2009) about how to conceive naturally. She also authored a second book about women’s sexual health called Sex Again: Recharging Your Libido (Workman Publishing, 2013). Jill’s third book is Energy Medicine: The Science and Mystery of Healing (Harper Collins). In it Jill describes what it means, personally and scientifically, to be an energy healer and draws on cutting edge research to explain how acupuncture and energy medicine work.
