5 Element Acupucture (5E)
Five Element Acupuncture is a classical style of East Asian medicine that organizes diagnosis and treatment around the dynamic interplay of five phases/elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Each element is associated (in this framework) with organ networks, emotions, sensory patterns, and seasonal cycles. Treatment aims to restore harmony among these elements when one becomes predominant or deficient.
In modern practice, the best-known lineage is Worsley Classical Five-Element Acupuncture, which emphasizes discerning a patient’s primary “causative factor” and using a focused set of points, along with careful attention to color, sound, odor, and emotion in diagnosis.
What other patients say:
"10/10 go see Jackie!"
I started going to her when I was in tremendous pain from a concussion I had received. Western medication methods were actually making me worse and I was at a complete loss, suffering with awful constant migraines. Then I found Jackie's practice online. I am still shocked by how much she has helped me recover.

“Jacqueline was very welcoming and thorough.”
She showed great concern for my comfort and explained the process. This was my first session and I already feel improvement in my symptoms.

"Dr Lacava is a superb acupuncturist."
I went to see her as a result of severe insomnia, and after only 2-3 sessions I was sleeping soundly. My sleep these days is some of the best I've ever had in my life! Highly recommended.
