At Greenstein Acupuncture + Wellness, I take the time to deeply understand not only the symptoms–but the root cause, as well. From there, I personalize a treatment plan and provide support at each appointment to help you strengthen the health of your mind and body.
True self care means investing in your health, happiness, and wellbeing.
Greetings!
My name is Emily.
I am a mom, acupuncturist, Chinese herbalist, nutritious + mindful cook and yoga practitioner.
The first time my mother in law came to visit, she opened my refrigerator and said ‘Wow! It looks like a rainforest in here.’ I grew up in a health minded home and I consider food a primary tool in caring for my family and for my clients. Although, I believe in a plant forward diet, I encourage people to eat all foods in moderation.
As a young adult in college, I became very sick after months of travel abroad. I traveled back and forth across the country consulting various medical experts only to be told no one could find any cause of my symptoms.
On paper, my body looked fine but I felt terrible. I was exhausted, had chronic headaches and various digestive issues.
After a few years of losing weight and continuing to be symptomatic, I hit a low point. I consulted with an acupuncturist and herbalist and immediately started treatment. Within a short time, my body and mind had returned to feeling well and healthy again. That experience deeply impacted me and became a major turning point in my life. I applied to acupuncture school and received my Masters in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from MCPHS (formerly New England School of Acupuncture).
Since then, I have studied both Chinese and Japanese styles of practice. In addition, I have completed all three levels of study at the Kushi Institute and have an in depth understanding of macrobiotics, medicinal cooking and shiatsu. I have also spent some time studying craniosacral work.
Currently, I am certified by the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine and by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.
Many of us know we need to change our lifestyle in order to return to that feeling of wholeness and balance. But the stress and busyness of our daily life can be obstacles in finding a balanced and relaxed pace. We may not know how to reduce the stress or how to start making necessary changes on our own. Even if we know what we need to do, figuring it out on our own can feel overwhelming.
We all need help in periodically resetting our lives. I look forward to beginning our work together.
