Janet Fritts, C. Ac., MSOM

Janet has been in practice in Milwaukee since her graduation from the Midwest College of Oriental Medicine in 2006.  In January 2008, she opened her own Chinese Medicine practice, Balance Point Natural Medicine, LLC.  From the start, it has always been important to Janet that complimentary healing methods be accessible to all, so she instituted a sliding fee schedule based on income level. 

This sliding fee schedule was beneficial to her patients but she could only see one patient per hour.  After discovering the revolutionary community acupuncture business model started by Lisa Rohleder at Working Class Acupuncture in Portland, Oregon Janet was intrigued.  She researched Lisa's business model and realized -- this is how acupuncture and Chinese Medicine is primarily practiced in Asia!  Well, why isn't it practiced this way in the US?  Then, her friend and classmate opened her community acupuncture practice in Maryland.  Two more of her friends from school opened their community acupuncture practices in Racine, WI.  Well, she decided it was time Milwaukee joined the revolution and is converting her "boutique" style acupuncture practice to the community acupuncture business model.

Janet is an experienced healer whose path was taken may turns with one underlying theme, healing.

As a child, Janet grew up in the midst of the family veterinary practice.  She shadowed her father who was a large and small animal veterinarian and a truly gifted healer.  Her mother ran the business and after 50 plus years of practice management evolved into an excellent triage technician.  This experience exposed Janet to many beautiful healings and hundreds of medical procedures which instilled her with a passion for easing pain and making the quality of life better.

Her first career choice was Speech Pathology which eventually lead to the theater.  She received her bachelors in Theatre and Drama and her Masters of Fine Arts in Acting.  Janet's years as an actor and college professor of theater arts deepened her passion for improving the quality of life by teaching, directing plays, and actively participating in the development of students and their educational curriculum.

The next turn in her path led to the corporate environment where she continued healing by making work-life better through writing how-to publications and procedures, as well as designing and delivering training.

The most recent turn along her path led back to medicine.  Only this time it was Holistic, Integrative and Oriental medicines.

She currently practices Chinese medical therapies such as acupuncture in a community setting, herbal remedies, acupressure, Tui Na massage, moxabustion, Gua Sha, Cupping and nutritional counseling as well as the following:  Constitutional Facial Acupuncture Renewal^TM CranioSacral Therapy, Reflexology, and Reiki.

Janet is owned by two cats and loves to paint, sew and work crossword puzzles.
