I received my Master of Science degree in Acupuncture from the Tri-State College of Acupuncture (TSCA) in New York City. I am nationally board-certified in Acupuncture by the NCCAOM and licensed by the State of New York, and I am member of the Acupuncture Society of New York. Before becoming an acupuncturist I owned and ran a jewelry design company as well as receiving a Master of Science degree in Speech and Language Pathology from the University of Wisconsin, and a Bachelor of Science from Boston University.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): The root of all acupuncture styles. TCM incorporates every aspect of the functioning body and how it relates to the environment, emotions, constitution, and disease. TCM is a complex medicine that sees the body as interrelated pathways of energy. Acupuncture Physical Medicine (APM): Developed by the founder of our school, Dr. Mark Seem.

APM utilizes "myofacial trigger point release". Trigger points are little "knots" in the muscles potentially causing referred pain and dysfunction.
Services
Western Medicine works from the "outside-in".
It intervenes with strong man-made pharmaceuticals or surgeries that are designed to take over the body and to repair it like a mechanic might repair a machine.
Eastern Medicine stimulates the body's own resources to help it heal from the "inside-out".
For example, when a person gets a cut, the body heals from the "inside-out".
Acupuncture needles stimulate nerves that transmit impulses to your brain that in turn release chemicals such as endorphins, hormones, and cortisone.
Before the initial appointment: Clients fill out an in-depth health history questionnaire.
The interview: I will ask you lots of questions about your health and your habits.
I will feel your pulse, look at your tongue, observe how you look, and feel your meridians and muscle tension.
The treatment: Involves the insertion of very fine, packaged, sterile needles which will elicit little to no discomfort.
The number of needles used is determined by the treatment protocol and may vary from treatment to treatment.
