Jackie Adiwinata
Hello! I’m Jackie, a Registered Acupuncturist and Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner based in Toronto, Ontario.
My goal is simple: To help you live a life you love, by bringing harmony to body and mind.
Our modern lives often demand more than our bodies are built to give.
This disconnect can leave us feeling struggle, tension, and pain.
But your symptoms are not obstacles to eliminate. They are invitations to listen - clues, pointing you towards what is out of balance, and where you are ready to evolve.
LIFE DOESN’T GET EASIER - But with the right support, your capacity to meet it can grow.
I’m here to help you reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom, and empower you to live a more resilient life.

Hello, Jennifer here! (she/her)
I’ve been practicing Massage Therapy for 20+ years and what an incredible, fulfilling career it’s been! I feel so blessed to have the most amazing clients who continue to see me, year after year.
In 2020, I opened the doors to Metta, naming the business after a concept that’s inspired and guided my work since the beginning. METTA, the Buddhist word for loving-kindness, is the intention behind my practice and the quality I strive to cultivate during my treatments. I hope you can feel the goodwill, compassion + empathy that I extend to you when we work together.
When not working, you might find me in the Toronto East neighborhood where I live with my family of two boys and my husband Jay who is my co-pilot in running everything from the household to the business.
At this time, I am no longer accepting new clients, however, I am so confident in the team of like-minded practitioners here, who work with positive intention, from a place of love, to provide the best possible care to our community.
