About Jean

I am the founder and practitioner behind RareBird Acupuncture, a holistic medical practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, functional medicine, and multidimensional energy-based healing. I am a nationally certified Diplomate of Oriental Medicine, licensed acupuncturist (L.Ac.), Chinese medical herbal pharmacist, Acupuncture Detoxification Supervisor, Traditional Qigong Internal Energy practitioner, and Shamanic healer.

I recently relocated my private practice from Santa Fe, New Mexico to the Hudson Valley. In Northern New Mexico, I provided managed primary care alongside Traditional Chinese Medicine, serving a diverse community. As a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, my scope of practice extends beyond acupuncture alone. I am nationally board-certified in Western biomedicine and physical examination as well as Chinese Herbal Medicine, allowing me to integrate custom Chinese herbal formulations, functional medicine, and energy medicine into comprehensive care.

Their Approach:

My clinical approach integrates experience-centered skill, intuitive insight, and empirical foundations refined over many years as a practicing TCM physician. I view healing as an alchemical process of transformation—one that unfolds across physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual dimensions. My treatments are highly individualized and guided by a deep reverence for cosmology.

Curiosity has always been central to my path and is a natural companion to Traditional Chinese Medicine—a system rich in complexity. In addition to earning a Master of Science in Oriental Medicine from Southwest Acupuncture College, I have pursued over 30 years of direct study, mentorship, and certification in traditional and integrative healing arts. These include Daoist, Core, and Traditional Shamanism; Indigenous Energy healing; Cranial Rhythmic Impulse; Internal Energy Qigong; Animal Acupressure and Energy Healing; Advanced Chinese Herbal applications; Sound healing; Stone medicine; Ritualized healing; Iyengar yoga; and Biodynamic farming. I am skilled in multiple acupuncture styles, including Chinese, Japanese, Classical, Five Element, Cosmetic, Pediatric, Esoteric, and Alchemical. 


RareBird treatments are distinct in that I weave ancient medical traditions into a comprehensive healing matrix. Working within multidimensional systems, I support a wide range of conditions, including chronic degenerative illness, pain, systemic health imbalances, autoimmune, emotional distress, life transitions, personal cultivation, and spiritual illness.  My intention is to help individuals move beyond uncertainty and actively engage in their own restoration. My practice spans the full arc of life—from preconception care through end-of-life support. When patients experience a supported path through imbalances, healing outcomes are lasting.

  • “Dr. Jean has the magic touch. I'm amazed by how good I feel during our treatments, and after. The effects of the healing work Dr. Jean does linger long after you've gotten off the table. Many of her remarks have stayed with me and triggered insights later on. A remarkable individual. I hope to always be in her good, capable care.”

    Michael Q

  • “Jean is a gifted healer/D.O.M. I have worked with her for more than a year now and see her regularly - it can be for specific issues but the experience is so supportive that it is also for general care and nurturance. Her care during sessions is extraordinary. She listens intently and asks excellent questions; she combines both incredible knowledge and skill with an intuitive sense. This integration is powerful. Highly recommended.”

    Katherine Y

  • “Dr. Loscalzo at RareBird Acupuncture is among the most masterful healers I have known. Dr. Jean utilizes her deep knowledge of Chinese medicine and herbs to potently treat patients with her subtle medicine. Dr. Jean seems also to tap both her wisdom and intuition to support not only the physical body, but also the spirit and emotional bodies. Her treatments are skillful, loving, and generous, and ultimately support deep healing at a cellular level. Dr. Jean has treated my hormonal issues, muscular tension, stress, and organ diseases. I am so grateful to her, and could not recommend her more highly.”

    Holly B

  • “I have experienced really deep healing due to Dr. Jean's incredible care and highly skilled herbalist expertise. I have never had such amazing customized herbal formulas prescribed by any practitioner. Not only that, her caring manner and attention and checking in helped me through multiple medical crises including two very intense infections. Her kind attention facilitates a healing environment for your nervous system to do its very best work. Her recommendations about adjunct therapies to pursue have also all been spot-on. Thank you Dr. Jean and look forward to working together for many years to come!”

    Meghan C

  • “I have had autoimmune problems, chronic pain, and insomnia for many years and acupuncture has helped to manage my symptoms. I met Jean when I moved to Santa Fe and she was a great support for me. I have had many treatments with her that have left me feeling very relaxed and pain free. She is a such a compassionate practitioner and ended up helping me with much more than just my aches and pains! Her style is gentle, caring, and meticulous in detail from her intense study of Chinese Medicine. She is truly a rare gem that I was lucky to find!”

    Melissa H

  • “Occasionally you meet a person so exceptional that words cannot do her justice. This is true of Dr. Jean Loscalzo, DOM. Her clinical skills are exemplary in both their breadth and depth. She truly listens to one's concerns and responds not only with understanding but with clear explanations. As an aging senior, I've brought a number of physical ailments to our sessions over the years, and she has always treated my concerns with expertise and kindness. I highly recommend Dr. Loscalzo!”

    Eve M

  • “Jean Loscalzo of Rare Bird Acupuncture is wonderful. I have long standing back problems due to an autoimmune disorder. In addition to pain and lack of mobility, it causes sleep problems, thyroid dysfunction, fatigue, and anxiety. She is able to use her many tools to help me to have more energy and pain relief. One very helpful trait is adaptability- I recently came in with severe back pain and she used a variety of techniques that together helped a lot! Her treatments also improve my sleep and stress level tremendously. I can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you for all your help, Jean!”

    Heather V

  • “I visited Jean to get a general 'tune-up' and also we addressed some issues I have had with mobility in my shoulder and circulation in my arms and hands. As she went to work, we ended up discussing and beginning to address so much more. In one session, I felt something 'move' or 'open up' that was quite positive in those areas. Jean is extremely knowledgeable about working with the body in a lot of different modes, and was thorough in her questioning in a way that felt very productive. It's a bit hard to put into words, but Jean has a special touch and you will be in good hands with her. If only I lived in Santa Fe so I could visit her regularly!

    Justine H

  • “Jean is extraordinary with her healing abilities and treatments on all levels physical, spiritual, and emotional. Her compassion and amazing work she does far exceeds any treatment I’ve experienced. I have less neck/back pain and better energy! She’s there for you and gets to the root of the problem in restoring a natural, wholesome existence. I couldn’t be more blessed to have found a wonderful Doctor and always look forward to seeing her for my next appointment. :)!”

    Kassi

  • “Since I’ve been going to Jean, she has also treated me for a variety of ailments and injuries beyond the heart. She resolved (in a single session, mind you) a very painful lower back issue that I had lived with for years - having seen multiple specialists who couldn’t figure out the problem without attempting something “exploratory”. She has treated me for more minor injuries and problems than I can remember. On the journey to homeostasis, Jean has also guided me mentally and spiritually and helped me work on less physical, though no less important, aspects of my health and wellbeing. In my personal experience, many doctors are in the healing profession but aren’t healers. I think Jean was destined to be a healer regardless of her profession.”
