Meet Our Founder
Meet Jill Still, MAc, LAc
Founder & Licensed Acupuncturist
Jill is the founder of Alpine Integrative Acupuncture, a boutique acupuncture and integrative wellness clinic in Juneau, Alaska.
With a background in healthcare leadership, brain injury advocacy, and Classical Five-Element Acupuncture, Jill brings a thoughtful, individualized approach to care that recognizes the connection between physical, emotional, and overall well-being.
Jill's Journey
A Unique Path to Acupuncture
Before becoming an acupuncturist, Jill spent years working in healthcare leadership, education, and brain injury advocacy, including serving as Director of the Alaska Brain Injury Network.
Her professional journey has been shaped by a curiosity about how people function, adapt, and experience well-being. Through her work with individuals, families, and healthcare professionals, she developed a deep appreciation for the importance of looking beyond individual symptoms and understanding the whole person.
That perspective eventually led Jill to Classical Five-Element Acupuncture, an approach that considers the relationship between physical, emotional, and overall well-being.
Today, Jill brings together her background in healthcare systems, her training in acupuncture, and her interest in emerging wellness technologies to help shape the individualized experience at Alpine.

Jill's Philosophy
A Thoughtful, Individualized Approach to Care
No two people arrive at Alpine with the same story, experiences, or needs. Jill believes that meaningful care begins with listening, asking thoughtful questions, and taking the time to understand each individual.
Her foundation in Classical Five-Element Acupuncture emphasizes the relationship between physical, emotional, and overall well-being. This perspective informs how she approaches assessment, treatment planning, and the ongoing practitioner-client relationship.
Jill brings curiosity and critical thinking to her work, drawing from her clinical training, professional experience, and continued education to consider what may be most appropriate for each client.
At Alpine, acupuncture remains the foundation of clinical care, with additional wellness offerings and therapeutic technologies available for clients interested in exploring other options.
Personalized care. Thoughtful integration. More possibilities.

Jill is especially passionate about creating a collaborative environment where practitioners bring their individual expertise, continue learning, and work together to provide a thoughtful client experience.
Her long-term vision is for Alpine to continue growing as a trusted resource for acupuncture and integrative wellness in Juneau, while remaining grounded in personalized care, professional integrity, and meaningful relationships.
More options. More possibilities.
