A little more about me and how I got here...
After graduating from the Swedish Institute, I established a private practice primarily working with athletic personal trainers and their clients. Soon afterwards, I was given the opportunity to become a personal fitness trainer with an area of expertise built upon the foundation of my decade-long yoga practice. As I was integrating my knowledge and skills in massage therapy, the practice of yoga, athletic personal training and public health, it became clear to me I was still missing something. I realized my clients needed me to become something I had dreamed of as a kid but had forgotten in adulthood - a Chinese Medicine Doctor. So with the dreams of little kid and the hopes of an entrepreneur, I fulfilled a childhood fantasy and enrolled into the Masters of Acupuncture program at Tri-State College of Acupuncture. There I studied Trigger Point / Dry Needling, Kiiko Matsumoto style Japanese Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine and Classical Chinese Acupuncture.
Now my work is dynamic, holistic and multi-pronged in approach. Health, wellness, healing, recovery, and training all require a strategy and plan that involve flexibility, strength, conditioning, mobility, freedom from pain, nutrition, rest and relaxation. It is my aim to help you at whatever stage you need, be it acupuncture, massage, strength training, cardio conditioning, flexibility training, or nutrition.
My goals are:
Over the years I've worked with professional athletes, actors/musicians (some famous, some not), marathoners, triathletes, personal trainers and Manhattan's elite, driven, accomplished go-getters. This has given me the experience, knowledge and skills to provide you with the best service. This will give you an added edge in accomplishing your goals - be they better health, injury recovery, athletic training or stress management. I'm also great at working with those who are just getting into physical training. I have coordinated with personal trainers, chiropractors, doctors and other health care providers over the years, to maximize performance, prevent injury and speed recovery. I am goal oriented just like you!
I have extensive experience working with special populations including women, BIPOC/communities of color, LGBTQI communities, and youth/young people.
I look forward to working with you!
