History
Established in 2004.
Echo L. Hobbs, L.Ac is originally from Alaska, and moved to Oregon to receive her Bachelor of Arts degree at Linfield College in McMinnville. Having fallen in love with the Pacific Northwest, she decided to pursue her Master's degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in Portland at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine. After completing the four-year program, including a 15 month intensive internship, Echo moved to Salem, Oregon to set up her practice.
After establishing herself in the Salem community, Echo joined on with Marjorie Eng of Eng Acupuncture in October of 2002 as an associate. In August of 2004, Echo bought the Salem practice and changed the name to Jade Earth Acupuncture, LLC.
Echo loves Salem and values being a part of her community, and thus offers the free pain clinic twice monthly. A sense of stewardship, compassion, responsibility, love, and a strong belief that we work together in co-creating the reality around us drive her to volunteer as she is called.
Meet the Manager: Jenna W.
was born in Oregon, but spent the majority of her formative years in Casper, Wyoming. Consequently, she feels an immediate kinship with anyone who has ever lived in (or driven through) Wyoming, since only approximately 16 people have ever been there. She feels blessed to enjoy the lush abundance that Oregon has to offer, and relishes rainy days and "jeans and sweatshirts" weather. Her favorite place is the Oregon Coast, and she is not above swimming in sub-zero ocean water.
Jenna has a passion for animal rescue, and shares her home with many creatures great and small. Her most notable companions are a clownish American Dingo named Linus and an inquisitive Shepherd mix called Luna. Sadly, they do not enjoy the sub-zero temperatures of the Pacific Ocean, but prefer to run along the sand and taste-test the water from time to time. (Verdict; it's always salty, no matter what time of day you sample it.)
Jenna feels very lucky and blessed to be working at Jade Earth, and is grateful
