I am a graduate of the internationally renowned New England School of Acupuncture. This is a three year full time program, which incorporated classroom study and hundreds of hours of hands on experience in clinical internship.

I am  professionally licensed by the State of Massachusetts Board of Medicine and certified by the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine(NCCAOM).

Prior to my study of Oriental Medicine I spent over 20 years as a Registered Nurse.

I have also earned a Masters Degree in Biology from the University of Massachusetts, and an undergraduate degree from Notheastern University.

In early 2002, after a year of independant practice, I became one of the founding members of A Center for Wellness. We are a collaborative of trained and experienced holistic health care professionals. We are conveniently located at 1123 Centeral Street(RT12) in Leominster, Ma.
