Jane Terrana is a licensed acupuncturist at Olo Acupuncture in Chelsea, NYC, where she has practiced since 2011. She works with patients across a wide range of concerns, with particular depth in reproductive health and pain care — from fertility and postpartum support to sports injuries and chronic tension.
Jane's path into Chinese medicine started with a fall from a tree at age 11. Chiropractic care helped with the recovery, and she spent her high school and college years working in wellness clinics on Long Island with the idea of becoming a chiropractor. That changed the summer she worked alongside an acupuncturist and saw firsthand what Chinese medicine could do.
After earning her BA from Binghamton University, Jane went on to complete her Master of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine (MSTCM) at Pacific College of Health Sciences (PCHS) in San Diego. During her four years there, she assisted fertility specialist Donna Keefe, L.Ac., and completed clinical rotations including an internship at the San Diego Hospice and Palliative Care Senior Clinic and a donation-based mobile clinic serving underserved communities.
Back in New York, Jane joined Olo in 2011 — and has continued deepening her knowledge outside the clinic as well. She is a faculty member at Pacific College of Health Sciences (PCHS), where she teaches Point Location and Theory, a role she finds keeps her thinking sharper and more curious about the medicine she loves.
Jane commonly works with patients dealing with:
Jane adapts to the person in front of her. An experienced patient who responds well to deeper work will get a strong, targeted treatment. Someone who's nervous about needles will get a gentler approach — and someone who's never tried acupuncture before will get the full walkthrough: what's happening, why, and when it makes sense to come back.
Most patients drift into a deeply relaxed state during treatment, and many fall asleep. That's the goal. Jane's treatments are designed to create enough quiet and comfort that your body can actually rest — and do the work it needs to do.
Jane holds a Master of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine (MSTCM) from Pacific College of Health Sciences (PCHS) and is a New York State Licensed Acupuncturist (L.Ac.). Her clinical training included hands-on work with fertility specialist Donna Keefe, L.Ac., and community care rotations at the San Diego Hospice and Palliative Care Senior Clinic and Integrative Health Nights, a mobile clinic for underserved populations. She earned her undergraduate degree from Binghamton University. Jane is a faculty member at PCHS New York, where she teaches Point Location and Theory, and is currently working toward her Transitional Doctorate at PCHS.
One of the things Jane finds most meaningful about this work is helping patients understand the channel and meridian system — the body's own map of sensation and emotion. When pain or tension shows up in a specific area, it can tell you something. Understanding that map, she believes, can open a better path toward feeling well.
Jane has stayed at Olo since 2011 because nothing else compares to what community acupuncture makes possible. The accessible pricing means patients can come as often as they need to — and that's when acupuncture works best. She also values something less tangible: on a full day in the community room, the collective calm of a space full of resting New Yorkers has its own effect on the nervous system. It's a healing environment that you don't find in a private room.
When she's not at the clinic or teaching, Jane is fully in parenting mode — she has a five-year-old, a three-year-old, and a third on the way. She's also the co-creator of Good Point, an acupuncture education poster. She says she'll get back to other hobbies someday, and we believe her.
Jane tends to be a particularly strong match if you:
I started getting acupuncture from Jane and for the first time in my adult life I went 3 weeks without getting a single headache.
