JJ Quinn, Doctor of Oriental Medicine, Advanced Clinical Master Nutrition Response Testing®,
Licensed Acupuncturist, Functional Nutrition Specialist
Dr JJ Quinn, also known as Quinn Medicine Woman, is licensed as a Doctor of Oriental Medicine (DOM) and an Acupuncturist (LAc) in the states of Arizona and New Mexico. She has been an Advanced Clinical Master of Nutrition Response Therapy since 2020, a practicing Arizona Acupuncturist since 2007, and for 10 years prior to that had been honing her “pain busting” skills in private practice in Scottsdale with her signature Targeted Neuromuscular Therapy™.
Even in primary school, JJ Quinn (aka “Jacqueline Jo”) knew she was going to be a doctor. Her childhood illnesses of allergies and asthma, leading to migraines and other headaches, with an eventual diagnosis of epilepsy, certainly made her familiar with the importance of health—and the obstacles created by a lack of vitality. JJ’s first break away from cycling antibiotics, weekly allergy shots and a sinus surgery finally came in 9th grade when a wise Doctor of Chiropractic and Clinical Nutrition started treatments that included the Standard Process therapeutic whole food supplements. (Thank you, Dr. Wenger and Standard Process☺) With the improved health and mental acuity that followed a renewal created by Designed Clinical Nutrition, JJ served as a Chinese linguist in the US Army, followed by graduate school in the biological sciences at the University of Notre Dame (Go Irish!). But vaccine injury plagued JJ coming out of the military, leading Providence to guide Dr Quinn back into the world of nutritional and traditional healing therapies.
Her own particular “stops and starts” in health are certainly what has caused Dr JJ to be so fully invested in creating “outside-the-bottle” healing opportunities for others. A keen mind and relentless passion for helping the most difficult and chronic cases has caused her to earn 17 certifications and masteries, all of which activate Nature and Human Agency to CATALYZE healing.
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.
