With over 25 years of experience as a bodyworker, I deepened my healing practice by studying acupuncture at the Finger Lakes School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.
My approach blends manual therapy and acupuncture to effectively address injuries and pain, while also supporting overall wellness. For internal health concerns—such as digestive disorders, menstrual issues, skin conditions, insomnia, and anxiety—I combine acupuncture with the powerful benefits of Chinese herbal medicine.
Every treatment is tailored to your unique needs, with the goal of restoring balance, easing discomfort, and supporting your body’s natural ability to heal.
I look forward to working with you on your journey to better health.
All the structures of your body depend on the smooth flow of blood, oxygen, and fluids for optimal function. Acupuncture needles can direct the flow of these vital nutrients.
Acupuncture is the primary focus of Andrea’s practice, complemented by other healing modalities such as Cupping, Gua Sha, and Manual Therapy.
Cupping and Gua Sha aid in the circulation of blood by bringing blood through the cells to the surface of the body. That is why you will see redness and bruising after a cupping or gua sha treatment. These techniques are not painful. They move stagnant and deoxygenated blood out of the tissues and allow fresh blood and oxygen to return to the cells.
Palpation is an essential diagnostic tool in Chinese Medicine. Doing tui na or massage on a patient improves blood flow. It also helps me to assess the soft tissues for areas of stagnation and rigidity. Through palpation, I determine what will be the most beneficial acupuncture points.
Chinese herbs are combined into formulas to treat a variety of illnesses. Many of these formulas have existed for thousands of years. They have been modified and refined to address common dysfunctions in the body that occur from aging, injury, overuse, taxation, and poor diet.
