JJ Quinn, Doctor of Oriental Medicine, Advanced Clinical Master Nutrition Response Testing®,
Licensed Acupuncturist, Functional Nutrition Specialist
Meet Dr. JJ Quinn, a passionate advocate for holistic health with a backstory that is as transformative as the practices she champions. From an early age, Dr. Quinn faced health challenges that left her feeling overwhelmed and powerless. With recurrent infections, side effects from antibiotics, weight gain, and debilitating gut pain, she felt trapped in a body that seemed broken. Traditional treatments felt futile, leaving her anxious and depressed, stifling her confidence and vitality.
However, a glimmer of hope emerged when her parents introduced her to holistic care with chiropractic plus whole food supplementation. This marked a turning point; as her health improved, she blossomed into an academically successful and athletic student. Dr. Quinn's journey took her into the military, where she served with honor but became further entrenched in health struggles due to prescribed medications that only masked her issues rather than solving them.
Dr. Quinn's quest for personal healing ultimately created the natural progression of learning to be a healer herself. With an insatiable curiosity that began in her youth, she dedicated her life to understanding the art and science of wellness. By integrating her education in Oriental medicine with the latest research in functional health, she established Catalyst Wellness in 1997, providing personalized and holistic health solutions that stand against the norms of modern medicine.
With over 15 degrees and certifications, Dr. Quinn excels at addressing the unique, underlying health issues that others overlook. Through years of clinical validation, her innovative approaches to natural healing—encompassing nutrition response testing, low-level laser therapy, and comprehensive wellness assessments—have transformed countless lives. Patients often share stories of miraculous returns to health, attributing their victories to Dr. Quinn's ability to create tailored programs that harmonize ancient wisdom with modern practices.
In an increasingly desperate health landscape, Catalyst Wellness stands out as a beacon of hope. Here, clients are treated like family, with the utmost care and attention. Dr. Quinn believes that health is not just the absence of illness, but the presence of vitality. Her personalized wellness strategies are proven to enhance one's quality of life, focusing on the root causes of health concerns, not just the symptoms.

With a simple phone call, text, or email, you can schedule a consultation and embark on your journey back to vibrant health today. With Catalyst Wellness, you're not just another patient; you're a critical part of the healing story that begins with you.
About Catalyst Wellness
Dr JJ Quinn initially created Catalyst Wellness to offer exceptional results in pain and injury management with her Targeted Neuromuscular Therapy™ practice in Scottsdale in 1998.
Throughout her years of changing lives through pain reduction, JJ began to notice that there was an ever growing subset of clients whose treatments would not “hold”, and their dysfunction might even increase in spite of the restorative therapies, exercises, and other lifestyle recommendations that had created lasting change in the past. This motivated JJ to learn Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine because of its entirely wholistic and foreign way of viewing patients: each patient along with their environment, lifestyle, energies and stresses is more important than a disease pattern or their presenting symptoms.
Upon completion of this schooling, Dr JJ Quinn, now Medicine Woman (D.O.M., L.Ac.), realized that there was a noticeable increase in dysfunction, illness and disease among the general population that even acupuncture was too slow to change. This kept Dr Quinn in hot pursuit for better methods to provide patients with consistently reliable and lasting results.
Her research concluded that the majority of health issues were due to increased exposure to environmental toxins and poor diets that included processed foods, chemical additives, added antibiotics and hormones. The Standard American Diet “S.A.D.” is found to be entirely lacking in real, living, rejuvenating food. As a whole, Americans are toxic and nutritionally deprived, and THIS is what is causing an extreme rise in obesity, illness and disease.
In 2019, after long years of searching for truly comprehensive solutions to the increasingly complex medical and lifestyle challenges surrounding us, JJ finally discovered Nutrition Response Testing®. Immediately recognizing the value of Nutrition Response Testing, which reliably uncovers the often hidden sources of true healing, Dr Quinn spent the next intensive year becoming Advanced Clinically trained in this time-tested methodology.
The success was immediate - using Nutrition Response Testing® alongside the acupuncture or Targeted Neuromuscular Therapy, she was finally getting the results she had known were possible. Patients of all ages began attaining life-changing results in their health and vitality.
Since successfully incorporating Nutrition Response Testing® into the practice, Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman, and
Catalyst Wellness began receiving patients and referrals from all over Arizona, and even referrals from other parts of the country.
