Health Professionals in Connecticut
Combining my experience of over 20 years as an Occupational Therapist, along with 15 years now as an Acupuncturist, I bring a compassionate, trauma informed study and hands on body wisdom to your treatment. The utilization of this palpatory approach provides diagnosis as well as an instant measure of treatment effectiveness, which you will realize in real time. Both Western and Traditional Eastern medicine have their respective strengths and weaknesses. It is my belief, when they are appropriately combined, the patient is well served.
