In this episode, I sit down with Tucson-based acupuncturist Jessica Breton to talk about what acupuncture actually looks like in practice — beyond the way it’s often described online.
We talk about how Jessica found her way into acupuncture, what convinced her the work truly helps people, and why so much of her practice has grown through word of mouth. Jessica also shares what surprises new patients, why healing isn’t always linear, and how she approaches care as a whole-body, long-term process.

Jessica Breton is a licensed acupuncturist in Tucson who works with people dealing with chronic pain, stress, illness, and long-term imbalance. Her approach combines acupuncture with hands-on care, nervous system regulation, and education, guiding patients through a grounded, whole-body healing process.
In Tucson, word of mouth still matters. Many people find care through trust, relationships, and lived experience — especially in health and wellness. Jessica’s practice reflects how healing work grows locally when people feel supported and seen over time.
Another Tucson organization featured on Two Lane Tucson is Therapeutic Ranch for Animals and Kids (TRAK), where trust and long-term support also shape the work.
Many of the themes in this conversation — trust, reputation, and being found at the right moment — show up in how local businesses experience Google.

Elaine: Today I’m sitting down with Jessica Breton, a licensed acupuncturist here in Tucson who’s been in private practice for many years. Jessica works with people dealing with chronic pain, stress, illness, and long-term imbalance.
Elaine: Jessica, can you walk me through how you found your way into acupuncture and what made you commit to this work long term?
Jessica: My interest in Chinese medicine started when my mom had cancer when I was eight years old. I saw how hands-on, alternative care supported her during that time, and it stayed with me. Over time, I learned how the body has its own wisdom and how guiding that process can create real change.
Elaine: What did you notice early on that made you say, “This really works”?
Jessica: People started feeling better — not just physically, but emotionally and systemically. Someone might come in for pain, but their sleep, mood, and digestion would also improve. That’s when I realized there was something deeper happening.
Elaine: What surprises people once they’ve had a few sessions?
Jessica: How quickly they see results, and how much the work affects the whole system. Healing isn’t always linear, but when the nervous system resets, the body can actually do what it knows how to do.
