Please help us welcome our newest Acupuncturist to Whitney Green Acupuncture!
While she’s new to us, Laura is in her 15th year of practicing acupuncture. She’s a graduate of OCOM with an MSOM and an NCCAOM board certified Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbologist. She completed her undergraduate degree from Ivy League school, University of Pennsylvania, majoring in Fine Arts and Urban Studies with an Anthropology minor.
She has an adaptive approach to acupuncture. Her Sports Medicine Acupuncture training with Matt Callison and her super anatomy heavy yoga training with Julie Gudmestad have enriched her orthopedic assessment and pain treatment skills. It’s not all orthopedics though. Laura treats the whole person and is adept at working with emotional pain and myriad internal conditions including women’s and men’s health, digestive concerns, sleep, immune imbalances, neurological concerns and more.
Outside of the clinic, Laura teaches weekly Alignment Based Yoga classes for Paxson Yoga Center, offers One Thousand Hands Buddha Qi Gong and Self Care Tool classes and makes a product line of essential oil blends. She is a lifelong learner and teacher. Currently, she is studying Korean and Portugese with plans to visit these countries, and she plans to brush up on her Spanish and Quechuan when she visits her teacher, Puma Fredy Quispe Singona in Peru. She is training to certify to teach the Wang Family’s Turtle Longevity Qi Gong forms.
When not at the clinic or classroom, Laura is hanging out with her kids, husband, dog and friends, traveling, dancing, hiking, eating delicious food her husband makes, and skiing.
