With experience learning in environments such as teaching hospitals in China, to the VA Hospital in New Haven, my education is steeped with both tradition and innovation. As an avid yoga practitioner and teacher, I have experienced first-hand how important the connection between body and mind can be. Acupuncture aids this connection in order to help your body better heal itself with minimally invasive techniques or side effects.

I focus on empowering patients to address all of their health concerns in the context of holistic wellness, using all of the traditional modalities of Asian medicine. My initial intake involves a comprehensive ninety-minute assessment and Chinese pulse diagnosis, during which we will discover the health initiatives which are most important to you, and prioritize them together according to your diagnosed imbalances. Using an integral approach involving acupuncture, wellness counseling, herbs, and often shiatsu bodywork therapy and Japanese moxibustion, we can successfully address all components of nearly any health challenge: body, mind and spirit.

Acupuncture in Putnam - is it right for me?
Acupuncture is based on the concepts of oriental medicine or traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is one of the oldest healing practices in the world. Putnam acupuncturists are health care professionals who evaluate and treat the many conditions, aches and pains that respond to acupuncture.
Acupuncturists insert very fine acupuncture needles into the body. The purpose of the needles is to stimulate acupuncture points or meridians. The needles do not inject any substance into your body and are so fine as to be virtually impossible to feel. In some cases, acupuncture may be accompanied by electrical stimulation or the burning of moxa, a form of heat therapy. Or use acupressure, where physical pressure is applied by hand or elbow to trigger points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians.
'Accupuncture' and 'Accupuncturist' are common mis-spellings.
