Dr. Maja Jencic

Born and raised in Zagreb, Croatia; Dr. Maja Jencic has always been driven by curiosity and a desire to understand the deeper causes behind health and disease. She graduated from the University of Zagreb Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and later expanded her professional path into Traditional Chinese Medicine and integrative care. She is the founder of Vau Qi, a practice dedicated to small animal acupuncture and holistic veterinary support. Her education includes advanced training in small animal veterinary acupuncture through BEVAS (Belgium) and certification with IVAS (International Veterinary Acupuncture Society). In addition to her veterinary work, she has studied yoga, traditional Thai massage, and body-based therapeutic techniques — experiences that deepened her understanding of the connection between physical, emotional, and energetic balance. Through her work at Vau Qi, she combines Western veterinary diagnostics with TCM principles, offering an individualized and compassionate approach to feline health. She continues to expand her knowledge in herbal and food therapy within the framework of Chinese medicine.
