About Health Point Clinic
Lorna Jackson 1st BSc (Hons) Acupuncture, MBAcC, AFN
Clinical background
Health Point Clinic was set up in August 2011. I was previously a professional dancer and discovered acupuncture via an injury. Loved it, used it to keep me in check whilst dancing and then retrained when I felt the time was right. I am based at Suite 2.4B in the Lido Medical Centre in St. Helier. There is free parking with lift access.
I have grown up around my mother Olivia Jackson’s Greencliff Chiropractic clinic and originally started the clinic from there before moving to the Lido Medical Centre full-time. My mother has been practicing for nearly 46 years! In fact, both my brother Sam Jackson and cousins are Chiropractors too!
Health Point Clinic is a warm, friendly clinical space with a passion for healthcare, family and the local community.
Why did you become an acupuncturist?
"I have always been interested in body mechanics, function and the beauty of movement. This started at an early age having grown up surrounded by a family who practice chiropractic as well as having danced since I was two.
I have trained and worked within dance and musical theatre and in doing so experienced firsthand the effect of injury. This was how I initially discovered acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. Now I wish to provide the same benefits for our community.
Acupuncture not only helped treat the injuries that I came in with but gave me control over them. I regularly used it to maintain my health as part of a general maintenance program, not only for my aches and pains but to keep my mind and body focused on the job or audition at hand.
I fell in love with the way acupuncture treats each person's underlying pattern of disharmony as unique. No matter the injury either physical or emotional, we all lead different lives with diverse inherited constitutions. We each eat, drink, exercise and react differently. This aspect really appealed to me, as no one should feel one in a hundred auditioning for the same role but important, listened to and cared for. My passion is to bring this aspect to every treatment. My goal is to provide a safe, open and relaxing environment in which each patient feels comfortable and confident providing me with honest feedback.
I enjoy meeting so many different people from different walks of life and I feel it a great privilege that they have walked through the door and that I have a chance to help."
