About Me

I am a CranioSacral therapist, acupuncturist, herbalist, and massage therapist, living and working in NYC. I believe that gentle and non-invasive therapies, such as CranioSacral therapy, are most effective in balancing the whole body and maintaining healthy homeostasis, especially when combined with acupuncture. Since I began practicing CranioSacral Therapy in 2014, I have consistently witnessed and experienced excellent results following each session. Using CranioSacral Therapy, I can approach my clients' issues holistically and effectively. I want to continue exploring and gaining a deeper understanding of CranioSacral Therapy, so I can help people improve their well-being.
