A NOTE FROM JENNIFER
Welcome and thank you for being here.
Growing up, I had painful periods with little medical support and subsequently experienced joint pain and inflammation that was also a mystery to my Western doctors. Intuitively, I knew there was more; I wanted to understand the root cause of my symptoms.
Once introduced to Chinese medicine, the philosophy and mechanism profoundly clicked, and I've been practicing in deep appreciation ever since. I reversed painful symptoms and balanced my hormones with lifestyle changes and Chinese medicine.
What sets this practice apart is not any single treatment, tool, or technique. At AYEUR, our goal is to ensure each patient feels seen, heard, and supported.
We are here to listen and support you on your journey to optimal wellness.
I look forward to working together.
Warmly,
Jennifer

“Healers come into our lives during times of vulnerability and, as such, have the opportunity to be bright lights during times of illness, suffering, and pain. The role requires the utmost in integrity and responsibility — and I believe it is our gift as well as duty as professional caregivers to work tirelessly to better ourselves for this medicine and for our patients.”
Jennifer Canfield, MS, LAc, Dipl OM, FABORM, has spent nearly two decades in deep study of the body. Her path to Traditional Chinese Medicine was not accidental, but personal. Years ago, she reversed her autoimmune diagnosis of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and endometriosis through Chinese herbs, acupuncture, and lifestyle shifts, and that experience became the foundation on which she practices today. Once introduced to TCM, the philosophies and mechanism for such profound results quickly resonated and she committed to learn as much as possible.
Her specialties today include:
Autoimmune conditions, especially difficult cases that have been unresolved in the Western paradigm
Women’s health
Fertility
Infertility
Family health and wellness
She is a Fellow of the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine, the highest standard for Chinese medical fertility and infertility practitioners and has built her practice around one conviction: every patient deserves to be treated as an individual, not a diagnosis.
Jennifer's approach is integrative, intuitive, and deeply analytical.
She combines Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, and herbology with advanced lab testing, food sensitivity analysis, nutritional counseling, and the latest advancements in integrative care — including CyberScan bio-resonance scanning, red light therapy, and PEMF therapy. Jennifer also offers onsite acupuncture before and after IVF transfer — a treatment shown to increase success rates by up to 30%.
As a practitioner, she is known equally for her compassionate presence and her determination to find the underlying cause of what others have not been able to resolve — always trusting the body's innate wisdom to heal when given the right conditions.
Jennifer holds a Master's degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine, with high honors, from Emperor's College in Santa Monica, and a Master's degree in Communications from the S.I. Newhouse School at Syracuse University. Her background in research and communications informs the way she works with patients — thorough, clear, and deeply engaged. Her clinical training includes time at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center's Roy and Patricia Disney Family Cancer Center, where she developed expertise in an integrative East-West approach to oncology care, treating patients across active and remission stages of cancer.
“I've been coming here for about 9 months for acupuncture with Dr. Canfield. She is one of my most favorite people ever!!! She's a great listener, very patient, and makes me feel brand new when I walk out of my sessions. We've been doing acupuncture for fertility and stress-reduction, and occasionally she does cupping if I'm having back pain of muscle aches.
I cannot recommend Jennifer Canfield enough. And the facility is clean and fresh - a nice water fountain in the waiting room, front desk staff are sweet and helpful.
Look no further if you're searching for the best acupuncturist in LA!”
