Meet the Practitioner Behind The Cariño Method™
My path to this work began through a deeply personal experience.
When my late husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor, I witnessed firsthand the power of compassionate care—not only to ease symptoms, but to help people feel supported, connected, and more fully themselves.
That experience inspired me to become an acupuncturist and continues to shape how I care for every patient today.
Why Your Body Leads The Treatment
Your body already knows what it needs. My job is to listen.
As a caregiver, I learned to listen to the person.
Through Japanese acupuncture, I learned to listen to the body.
Through contemplative caregiving, I learned to listen with presence.
Inspired by Jennifer Cariño's personal experience caring for her late husband and rooted in the meaning of cariño—care, compassion, and genuine connection—The Cariño Method™ begins by listening to what your body is communicating.
Through gentle Japanese acupuncture, Hara diagnosis (a gentle abdominal assessment central to Japanese acupuncture), and your body's real-time feedback, every treatment is personalized in the moment. No two people are exactly alike, so no two treatments should be either.
