Growing up in rural upstate (up up….keep going…a little further) New York, I have had the luxury of wide open spaces filled with lakes, rivers, and plenty of Adirondack forest. With the power of natural healing right in my backyard, it was a given that after getting my Master’s Degree in Acupuncture, I would build my practice and raise my family back where I grew up.
