Hello! I’m a New York State Licensed and board certified acupuncturist dedicated to making my patients feel better and heal better. I have treated thousands of patients in the greater NYC area for conditions ranging from general stress and anxiety to fertility to specific musculoskeletal injuries both in private practice and at the busy Manhattan studio WTHN. With a background as a birth doula I am skilled at making my patients feel at ease and helping them navigate their inner worlds to restore balance and harmony between mind and body.

SO WHAT GOT YOU INTO ACUPUNCTURE?

This is a question I get almost daily from my patients, and honestly it’s a good one. A long and winding path led me to where I am today. The short version is: I tried it; it worked; and I enrolled in acupuncture school mainly out of curiosity and a desire to help people feel better in a real and immediate way. Looking back I suppose it is the perfect job description given my interests and motivations — I’ve long held an interest in anatomy and learning how the body works and I’ve had a bit of an obsession with plants and herbal medicine since I was a kid. Now I can tie those interests together with a lifelong desire to help others. Once I dove headfirst into my studies I found that acupuncture and East Asian medicine provided exactly the tools I was looking for.

My mission is to help people feel more at ease in their bodies and to apply the rich and complex tradition of Chinese medicine to harmonize body, mind, and spirit.
