About Jean

Jean Donati is a graduate of the Traditional Acupuncture Institute in Columbia Maryland, (now the Notre Dame of Maryland University).  She obtained a Master’s Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture in 2000.  She is Licensed with the Maryland State Board of Acupuncture.  Since 1992, Jean has also been a skilled Certified Physician Assistant. She is Licensed with the Maryland Board of Physicians, and is certified with the National Commission on the Certification of Physician Assistants.  She maintains her physician assistant certification so she can better serve her patients, and fully understand the western medicine behind their disease processes, thus combining eastern and western knowledge to their individual treatment modalities.

In her Acupuncture Practice, Jean focuses on treating all types of musculoskeletal pain, sports injuries, stress and anxiety, depression, neurological conditions and womens’ health issues.  However with the whole body approach of Chinese Medicine and acupuncture, every medical issue has the potential to be addressed, so her practice is not limited to these aspects alone. 

She has successfully treated low back pain and sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, insomnia, neck pain, depression, rotator cuff injuries, post-traumatic stress disorder, stress, anxiety, vertigo, dysmenorrhea, Achilles tendonitis, migraine headaches, and has assisted couples with fertility concerns.

She has a special interest in Caring for Caregivers (family caregivers, physicians, nurses, counselors, Fire/EMS, and police) and understands the need to be tended and healthy in order to give quality care to others.  She has been using microneedling since 2023 for hair loss and facial rejuvenation, (also known as collagen induction therapy), to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, scarring and dark spots, and improve overall facial tone and skin elasticity.  This journey began with her hair loss after covid, which she was able to fully restore in a few microneedling treatments.  

When you come to see Jean, you can expect a calm, comfortable, healing atmosphere, attentive listening and a gentle, effective approach of providing therapy and care. You will receive her undivided attention during your session.  Your care is her only priority.  There is no double booking or leaving the room to attend to other patients during your session time.

In her spare time, Jean enjoys spending time with her family, figure skating, ballet, and yoga.

Jean chose to devote her skills and expertise to Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine after trying acupuncture as a last ditch effort for her own chronic low back pain.

Please watch the video below which descibes Jean’s healing journey…. 

With regular visits, her back pain resolved. For the first time in years she was pain free. Other aspects of her life changed as well. She was happier and less stressed. Her friends and family noticed how much more relaxed and easy going she had become. To this day, she continues to use acupuncture to maintain her health and well being.

She learned that the main tenet of acupuncture was treating the whole person (body, mind, and spirit), not just symptoms.  She felt cared for and tended during her sessions. She realized that this holistic, whole person approach what was missing in her Western medical practice. She wanted her patients to experience the care and tending that she received during her acupuncture treatments.

She understands that acupuncture focuses on maintaining optimal health naturally so that the body is better able to resist disease. Through identifying the root cause of your symptom or illness and then addressing the imbalance in a way that works naturally with your body, acupuncture seeks to restore optimum health so the body’s natural healing mechanisms can take over.

Jean’s vision is to share her knowledge of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture and her passion for natural health and healing, tending to the individual to provide the highest quality of patient care.  Jean sincerely looks forward to meeting you and working together with you to reach your optimum health.
