Whether you’re still in acupuncture school or already seeing patients in your own practice, one thing becomes clear pretty quickly: there’s a lot more to clinic life than knowing your TCM Diagnosis and acupuncture points.

I’ve been in practice for over 22 years now. I started practicing in the early 2000s, and I’ll be the first to admit — I’m old school. For years, I charted on paper. I had cabinets upon cabinets filled with patient files, and for a long time, that system worked… until it didn’t.

About five years ago, I knew I needed a change. I was literally running out of space in my clinic, and more importantly, I knew there had to be a more seamless way to keep track of patient files, book appointments, manage payments, and simply make life easier as a practitioner.

Through teaching acupuncture students for over 15 years and supporting practitioners with continuing education around the world, I’ve seen this challenge come up again and again. The clinical skills are there, but the systems behind the scenes often feel overwhelming, disorganized, or unnecessarily time-consuming for myself and my admin support staff.

Enter Jane

That’s when I was introduced to Jane, an electronic medical record, clinic and practice management software designed specifically for health and wellness practitioners. If you haven’t heard of Jane yet, it’s actually a local company based in Vancouver, British Columbia (where I live!), and it has since grown into a global platform used by practitioners everywhere.

Today, nearly every clinic I connect with locally uses Jane software, and many practitioners I teach and speak with worldwide rely on it as well. It has made managing my practice so much easier, and I wanted to share my experience with you because my goal has always been the same: to help make clinic life more sustainable, organized, and supportive, whether you’re a student, a new graduate, or years into practice.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know how much I love my husband, Craig. He is my partner, my support system and best friend. But he would agree and would take no offence when I say, I LOVE Jane.

If you already know about or already use the Jane App, you know what I’m talking about. But if you’re new, let me tell you all about it, and get ready to fall in love.

No matter what, keep rocking it using TCM!

Reasons You (and Your Patients) Will Love Jane 🩵

Easy Online Booking for Patients

Jane makes it easy for your patients or clients to book and manage their own care. With online booking, patients can schedule appointments when it suits them, with your services clearly laid out so they can choose the care they need.

In fact, based on client appointments made with Jane clinics between May 2024 and May 2025, 11% of appointments were booked after hours. This a strong case for online booking, especially when you’re not available to answer emails or phone calls. When your patient is in pain, frustrated with their health, or can’t sleep, this is one of the most common times of day your patient is more likely to book an appointment with you.

Automations That Lighten Your Load

Jane helps take scheduling, appointment reminders, and intake forms off your plate through smart booking automations. This means patients arrive prepared and on time, and there’s less manual follow-up required from you or your admin team.

These small systems add up to smoother days and a lot less mental load.

Payments and Documentation That Flow Together

Jane keeps your day moving smoothly with payments taken and recorded directly within the system, along with documentation features designed to speed up note-taking.

This means:

• Less chasing down credit cards
• Fewer billing slip-ups
• Less time typing notes after a long clinic day

Everything lives in one place, which makes clinic life feel more organized and manageable.

A Supportive Community and Helpful Resources

Jane also offers something many practitioners don’t realize they need until they have it: community and support.

You’ll find a community of like-minded practitioners, so you never feel like you’re practicing alone. And when you need guidance, Jane provides digital resources in the form of guides and blog posts filled with practical tips for navigating real clinic life.

Why Jane Works So Well for Students and New Graduates

For acupuncture students and new graduates, learning how to manage the administrative side of practice early can make the transition into private practice feel far less overwhelming.

Jane helps you build strong habits from the beginning. From booking and charting to payments and clinic policies, these are skills that aren’t always emphasized in school, but they’re essential for long-term success.

Because Jane software is scalable, it grows with you. Whether you’re moving into your first shared space, or building a full practice, Jane adapts as your practice evolves.

Writing Tips I Always Share with Practitioners

(And that Jane aligns with beautifully)

Good systems don’t replace good medicine, they support it. Jane App isn’t about doing more, faster, just for the sake of it. It’s about creating a clinic flow that allows you to show up fully for your patients, while also protecting your time and energy.

That balance matters, whether you’re a student, a new grad, or years into practice.
