I hope you’ll recieve all you need to know about me as I treat you. This is a little something until then.

I’m not a needle person. I had never had acupuncture before applying for and starting my doctorate in this medicine. The first acupuncture needle that graced my body was during our clinical techniques class, a few terms into my degree.

I took the logical steps needed to complete my degree, but each was guided by pure, universal intervention. The universe, or whatever you like to call it, does intervene if you get to know yourself and ask for the next step. It just is what it is.

I’m from Long Island and went to college in NYC for Entrepreneurship-Management with a minor in Biology. I should’ve known then that I was massively confused. I did some corporate stuff and decided that my life force was slowly being sucked out of me. If I can’t be myself, I have nothing to offer anyone. I googled alternative healing jobs, or something like that, and saw Traditional Chinese Medicine. I’m not quite sure why I felt the need to go for it - it must’ve been that universal intervention - but I haven’t looked back.

I’ve always felt stuck between two worlds - one quite floaty and bright, and another more pragmatic and dark. Obviously, these worlds collide often (and could probably be described with better terminology), but I still find a need to balance between the two. I can’t for the life of me understand how we let this happen, but the “wellness world” can be uncompromising, trend-based, and boasting. I crave something different out of my interactions and livelihood. I know I can’t be that special in thinking this way, so The Idiosyncratic Needle is a little bridge to connect us in that.

I find school to be the easy part. If I could get paid to go, I would always be pursuing a degree. Practicing with you all is where the real growth and yumminess lie. I hope to bring my specific magic to this practice, as we all have our own unique tonic to offer the world. TCM is the medium through which I offer mine.

I’m happy to answer any Q’s that you have before we start!
