When I came to see Lucy I was desperate. Almost anything I ate resulted in a variety of symptoms, like itchy throat, itchy skin, heartburn, abdominal swelling, heart palpitations. I already knew that my pollen allergies were responsible for my cross-reactions to most fruits, some vegetables and soy, so I was avoiding those, but things seemed to be spiraling out of control. Lucy’s treatment and guidance helped me to gradually climb my way up, back to good health. Progress was not immediately evident, but when I “passed” Lucy’s treatment for Vitamin C and I was able to eat some berries again for the first time in ages, I knew she was on to something! After that, things got better and better and I came to really look forward to each treatment with Lucy. Thanks to Lucy, I no longer react to many of the things I used to, and with some others the reaction is significantly reduced, so I don’t need to worry so much anymore about every minuscule ingredient on my plate! Lucy literally saved me and I am forever grateful.
About Lucy
As a child, I knew I wanted to work with people to help them heal. After being virtually bedridden with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in 1990, I focused all my life energy on my own healing. My physician suggested that I look at “alternative medicine” for help, as he didn’t have any answers for my failing health. I got a real education of many modalities, but the one which spoke to me most deeply was my introduction to Oriental Medicine through the doorway of Macrobiotic dietary principles. Oriental dietary therapy, or Macrobiotics was my lifeline. As I applied the study of Yin and Yang to my food and life, I was able to get out of bed, return to school, work and dance. I began to envision a future life again, one with abundant energy and hope.
Subsequently I lived and studied at the Kushi Institute, the premier center for Oriental Medicine dietary therapy. I felt I owed the recovery of my health and therefore my life to Oriental Medicine, and furthered my study and training with acupuncture school. I graduated from the New England School of Acupuncture, the oldest accredited school in the nation, in 2001 with training in traditional Chinese acupuncture as well as a specialized focus in Japanese acupuncture. I utilize both approaches in my practice, finding the most effective treatments for a particular individual’s condition.
In 2006 I took these studies a step further, and completed specialized training in the treatment and elimination of allergies, or NAET. (This stands for the Dr Nambudripad who originated the technique, Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques.) NAET has been the next step in healing the remnants of my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and making it possible for me to eat more broadly without experiencing symptoms from food allergies.
On the practical side, I have raised a wonderful spirited boy and can offer parents and children empathy, compassion and practical experience treating children’s health. I treat many chronic and acute health disorders for adults, children and babies.
I want to help you, your family and your children regain and strengthen your health, be free from pain and distress, and have abundant energy and well being. I want to help you eliminate disharmony before it becomes a rooted pattern of disease. Mostly I want you to feel empowered to live the life you want to live with optimal health.
I hold acupuncture licenses in VT, MA and FL and am also certified by the NCBAHM, National Certification Board for Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine (formerly NCCAOM) which has the highest standards for certification in the U.S.
I’m also a certified Instructor for other NAET practitioners, providing hands on training and protocol guidance.
