My practice consists of over 20 years blending western anatomy, kinesiology, craniosacral, myofascial, lymphatic drainage, neuromuscular with eastern shiatsu, tuina, amma, sotai, zang fu, teishin, dashin mubunsai and ampuku.
I utilize a minimal Japanese acupuncture approach consisting of a gentle subtle techniques inducing the body’s natural parasympathetic state of rest and digest, heal and repair.
I hold a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, Masters in Traditional Oriental Medicine, Bachelor of Health Sciences, Associates in Occupational Studies, as well as extensive continuing education that is outlined below. I hold state licensure in both acupuncture & massage therapy.
When I’m not practicing in Chelsea or Park Slope, I am teaching master’s levels courses relating to biomedicine, acupuncture, and manual therapy. I create customized treatment plans on how you can best provide care for your loved ones, friends, or as a caregiver. Each session is tailored to address a specific concern or complaint and how to provide basic care at home. Please check this link for further information.
