I have benefitted from this medicine

  • as preventative care

  • for a greater sense of well being

  • for less anxiety and better sleep

  • for the treatment of pain

  • as complimentary care so that I could better tolerate or recover from western medical care I received

I believe that you can benefit from it too.

I found my way to Chinese Medicine by way of a dance injury and a dissatisfying career. My initial course of acupuncture treatment resolved both issues – soon after I committed to a four-year masters program to become an acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist.

Because of my background, I see a lot of artists in my practice; helping them return to full-scale activities more quickly after injury and helping to combat blocked creativity or creativity fatigue. However, I am a general practitioner that loves to see anyone interested in experiencing all that this medicine has to offer.

I am licensed to practice in New York and Connecticut and am a Board Certified Chinese Herbalist by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).

My Approach

I’m often asked: What are your favorite things to treat?

My answer: My favorite things to treat are people.

I often start with one member of a family and end up treating everyone - including grandparents and kids.

Things I see often in my practice are orthopedic healing; race, performance or trek prep; surgical prep and recovery; and auto-immune management. I treat any and all stages of female hormonal transitioning including menses onset in young teens, fertility optimization, all stages of pregnancy, birth/labor prep and peri- and menopausal transition.

I enjoy cosmetic work for those in good general health and include facial needling, facial cupping and facial gua sha among my tools.
