I am (She/Her) a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DACM) and a licensed acupuncturist (L.Ac.) in NY State with a practice based in Chinatown, NYC and Upstate New York.

New Yorkers are really, really busy people. Really.

Getting ahead of ourselves and forgetting about self-care easily becomes our MO.

But showing up for self-care isn’t as hard as we might think.

Stepping into an acupuncture session is a great way to hit the pause button on your hectic life and actually check in with yourself.

Acupuncture allows for your mind and body to catch up with each other, which will in turn enable your nervous system to go into a repair state. It is hard for your body to heal when you’re running around the city creating the New York life you crave while trying to catch subways, get to work or to your side hustle, make it to networking or apartment-hunting meetings, and keep up with social media and your favorite events and other happenings around town.

I strive to be better in a changing world, while activating others to do the same.
