Jonathan (Jed) H Edwards, LAc practices East Asian Medicine with a focus on internal medicine. A longtime student of divination traditions from the Yijing to Jyotisa (Vedic astrology), he also deals with subtle/spiritual aspects of health. He finds that disease often falls away when people reorient their lives to include an understanding of karmic currents or the patterning of fate.
Jonathan makes his home at Heartward Sanctuary, a center in the NC Piedmont that he co-founded with his partner. His writing can be found at Seeds from the World Tree on Substack. For clinical consultations and divination, visit heartward.janeapp.com.
