Angelica's connection to Jennifer Layne Acupuncture and Wellness began as a teenager, when her mother brought her for acupuncture treatments while she was attending high school in Rutherford. Though initially hesitant about needles, Jing's careful explanations and gentle approach won her over. Now, nearly five years into her role managing front desk operations, she's become an integral part of the practice she's known for over a decade.

Angelica finds deep satisfaction knowing the center helps people find relief from pain. From her position at the front desk, she witnesses daily transformations, like patients who enter in pain and then leave "moving more naturally within their body." "I feel like our place is very comforting and homey," she says. "People feel seen and heard here."
