Introduction: I am a NY state licensed acupuncturist, a nationally board certified herbalist and a NCCAOM Diplomate of Chinese Medicine. I am trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) but also practice classical acupuncture from Chinese, Japanese and Korean traditions. I also specialize in East Asian dietary therapy, Korean osteopathic medicine (Kyojung therapy), and I am certified in medical qigong.
I treat a diverse group of issues related to:
* chronic disease
* cancer support care and cancer survivor care
* fertility issues
* pain syndromes
* digestive health
* spiritual and emotional disharmonies
In addition, I have a 20-year peer counseling background and am very good at coaching people in developing wholistic health strategies, particularly around chronic health challenges. I first came to East Asian medicine as a patient, so I have empathy for those who are searching for additional options for health care in addition to western medicine. I'm also a classically trained musician and a long-time community activist. I have always found passion in finding creative and artistic solutions to difficult challenges, using disciplined approach. I also value human relationships as a keystone to any healing process, so I prioritize taking time to listen and fully understanding the medical history and current health challenges of my patients.
If you would like to know more about me and my practice, feel free to visit my blog. I have written a number of articles explaining the benefits of East Asian medicine. it will give you a sense of my practice and approach with patients.
I"m also happy to answer any questions you may have if you are considering East Asian medicine. I firmly believe that part of any successful healing process lies in the empowerment of the patient through shared information, expanded perspective and self-discovery.
I am on a constant journey of study, research and self transformation. I welcome my patients to join me.
While my fee schedule is consistent with NYC practitioners of my background and experience level, my commitment is to treat the people. I never turn anyone away for financial reasons. If you cannot currently afford my rates, just speak to me. My desire is to support your health and wellness.
