My practice was created to provide thoughtful, individualized care for the Colorado Springs community, including Veterans, Active Duty military, and civilians seeking a more personalized approach to their health and well-being.
I take the time to look beyond the symptom. Your health history, current concerns, lifestyle, stress, sleep, digestion, medications, activity level, and personal goals all contribute to the bigger picture. By understanding that bigger picture, I can develop a treatment approach designed specifically for you.
Jennah Black is the owner and lead acupuncturist of Self Center Acupuncture, bringing extensive clinical experience, advanced training, and a deep commitment to individualized, patient-centered care. She graduated from Midwest College of Oriental Medicine in 2018 and is a Colorado-licensed acupuncturist and a board-certified Diplomate of Oriental Medicine through the National Certification Board for Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine (NCBAHM). Jennah is currently enrolled in the doctoral program at Pacific College of Health and Science, where she is further advancing her clinical expertise through a strong emphasis on evidence-based research, critical evaluation of emerging scientific literature, and the integration of research-informed practices to continually improve patient outcomes.
Jennah has a particular passion for working with complex, chronic, and multifaceted health conditions that require a thoughtful, comprehensive approach to care. Her clinical experience includes treating neuropathic pain and nerve-related disorders, persistent musculoskeletal pain, trauma-related conditions, PTSD and CPTSD, digestive dysfunction, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, stress, and insomnia. She draws on her experience in acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM), Abdominal Acupuncture, and Moxibustion to develop individualized treatment strategies that address each patient's unique presentation, functional limitations, and goals.
A significant part of Jennah's clinical foundation was shaped by her work for over a year in the Pain Clinic at EACH Army Hospital at Fort Carson, where she provided care to military personnel navigating pain and complex health challenges. This experience strengthened her commitment to serving those who serve and inspired her to join the Veterans Affairs Community Care Network (VACCN), allowing her to continue providing acupuncture care to veterans in the community. The encouragement and trust of active-duty service members who sought her care also played a meaningful role in inspiring the development of her own practice, Self Center Acupuncture & Microfrequency.
Today, Jennah combines this military and community-based clinical experience with a dedication to continued education, evidence-based research, and individualized treatment. She believes excellent healthcare requires more than simply addressing symptoms; it requires listening carefully, understanding the complexity of each patient, and continually refining clinical skills to provide the highest standard of care possible.
At Self Center Acupuncture, Jennah is committed to helping patients navigate complex health concerns, improve function, and work toward a better quality of life through thoughtful, collaborative, and research-informed care. Her goal is to make the benefits of acupuncture and integrative medicine accessible to those who need them most, while continually advancing her knowledge and clinical skills to better serve every patient who walks through her doors.
Jennah Black, Owner
My foundation is Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture, supported by Chinese herbal medicine, Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM), cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, and other complementary therapies when appropriate. Each treatment is selected based on your individual needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all protocol.
My approach is rooted in the belief that the body has an innate capacity to heal and adapt. My role is to support that process, help address barriers to healing, and give you the information and tools you need to participate actively in your own care.

A Practice Built Around the Patient

Self Center Acupuncture is intentionally designed to provide a more personal healthcare experience. I believe meaningful care requires time—to listen, assess, explain, treat, and reassess.
Your treatment plan may change as your symptoms and overall health change. I regularly evaluate your progress and adjust care according to your response, goals, and needs.
Whether you are seeking support for pain, stress, sleep, digestive concerns, women's health, recovery from injury, or a complex health history, my goal is the same: to understand the individual behind the diagnosis and provide care that makes sense for you.

Serving Those Who Serve

Working with Veterans and Active Duty military members has been an important part of my practice for many years, including experience providing care within the military healthcare environment at Fort Carson.
I understand that military and Veteran populations may face unique physical, emotional, and lifestyle challenges. My goal is to provide a comfortable, respectful environment where patients can receive individualized care and feel genuinely listened to.
Self Center Acupuncture is also proud to participate in the VA Community Care Network for eligible Veterans receiving acupuncture through VA referral.

Our Philosophy

I believe healthcare should be collaborative.
You should understand why a treatment is being recommended, what to expect, and how your care fits into your larger health goals. I encourage questions, communication, and active participation throughout the treatment process.
At Self Center Acupuncture, my goal is not simply to help you feel better for a moment. It is to help you better understand your body, support your health, and move toward a greater sense of function, resilience, and well-being.

Your health is personal. Your care should be, too.

Our Treatments

“Jennah’s calming, gentle presence and professionalism are key in her practice.  She is so knowledgable regarding  the body and her craft, that it was a pleasure to be treated by her to resolve the pain in my hips.  Thank you, Jennah!”

"I cannot recommend Jennah highly enough. I was having constant bladder pain for months – it was terrible, like having a bladder infection that never goes away. I had been to many hospitals and was having all sorts of treatments – western docs had no explanation for my pain and were starting to recommend minor surgeries, all of which had side effects and no commitment of long term relief. I tried acupuncture with Jennah on a whim - I could only get in for one session before being unable to make an in-person appointment with Jennah for several months, due to stay-at-home orders in Chicago. When I was unable to see Jennah in person, she did a phone consult with me, and showed me what to buy on Amazon (for like 20 bucks) to treat myself at home using acupressure on various parts of my body. Of course, it wasn’t as good as an actual acupuncture appointment, but if I did the acupressure points every night, it dulled the pain from an 8 to a 2, or even a 0. She saved me! When I was able to get back for regular appointments, she quashed my bladder pain in about a month. Jennah is magic."
