ICYMI: Smithtown Mom Facing Illness Recovers, Opens Acupuncture

STONY BROOK, NY — In summer 2017, Jennifer Muilenburg was told she was possibly facing a terminal illness. In fall 2019, she became the proud owner of a health and wellness business.

Muilenburg, 41, of Smithtown opened Just Enjoy Life! Acupuncture and Wellness Center, a fitting name for someone who battled benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML) in September. Her business can be found at 2500 Route 347, Unit 6D, Stony Brook.

Her practice blends eastern and western medicine techniques, as it offers acupuncture, massage therapy, cupping and moxibustion, the burning of moxa on or near a person's skin as a counter-irritant. Yoga will be offered in the near future, as well. Muilenburg said she can help with both physical and emotional pain, as she sees veterans from the local VA, women seeking treatment for health and reproduction issues, and people experiencing migraines, allergies, sleep issues and respiratory issues.
