I am a licensed acupuncturist and healer with a private acupuncture practice in New York City for over twelve years. I studied energy work for about fifteen years before becoming an acupuncturist. My strength as a practitioner is finding the root of someone's illness or blockage, which may or may not coincide with where the symptoms are manifesting. Many patients come to me after going through the gamut of practitioners, both Western and Alternative, and I can usually get to the root of the problem pretty quickly. I can do this, not only because of my vast experience, but because I am an empath. I can put my hands on people's bodies and feel what is making them sick, which may be purely physical, but may also be emotional or spiritual. I can feel what thought forms and emotions are blocking the energy and making them sick. I treat a wide range of illnesses, from back pain, to TMJ, to multiple sclerosis and cancer. Patients travel to see me in New York for treatment from places as far away as Florida, Virginia, Maryland, California and Canada. I am a graduate of Brown University, a former investment banker on Wall Street, and former Dean of Post-Graduate Studies at the Tri-State College of Acupuncture. I am also a mother of two young boys, which gives me a whole other level of experience with respect to childhood disorders and illnesses, as well as the experience of understanding the development of relationships.
