Jeya Aerenson, OMD

Jeya is a respected educator, practitioner, and community member helping people overcome and manage stress, depression, anxiety, and trauma with a holistic, mind-body approach. With 30 years of experience in Acupuncture/Chinese Medicine, supported by a Masters and Doctorate (MOM/OMD) in Chinese Medicine, a Bachelors in Social Work, certification from the Center for Mind-Body Medicine, and Subtle Winds Psilocybin Facilitation Training.

Jeya is core faculty with Subtle Winds Psilocybin Facilitation Training and is licensed by the state of Oregon.

Everyone learns in their distinctive way, so each session includes visual, auditory and tactile forms of sharing. Jeya brings years of experience and enthusiasm to her classes, whether it is facilitating groups in Mind-Body skills, the movement of Qi Gong, the basics of acupuncture and acupressure, or the practices she has learned from traditional healers. Jeya supervises facilitators in the certification process with the Center for Mind-Body Medicine. Her compassion is apparent when she has worked in trauma relief after devastating events – hurricane Katrina, forest fires, landslides, and the 2017 8.2 earthquake in Oaxaca, Mexico.

Jeya has brought groups to Oaxaca México to learn more about curanderismo, traditional healing practices and the culture in which they are practiced. She is currently planning a tour for February 2025.

When Jeya isn’t doing the work that she loves, she can be found playing with her wonderful dog Rafa, exploring the spectacular beauty of Oregon, practicing Spanish, dancing to Cuban rhythms, or in her garden.
