Before becoming a Licensed Acupuncturist, Emily’s involvement in the health care field included positions as researcher for an insurance company specializing in disability claims, a relief worker caring for mentally and physically challenged adults, and a Paralegal and legal advocate for low income clients, many of whom were disabled.
Emily has a Master’s Degree from the New England School of Acupuncture. Her studies focused on Traditional Chinese Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, and included coursework in Western Pathology, Orthopedic Acupuncture, Nutrition, and Acupuncture for Infertility and Pregnancy. Her internship included rotations at Dimock Community Health Center, Malden Family Health Center, and Winchester Hospital in Woburn and Wilmington.
She is nationally certified in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine and licensed by the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine.
Emily continues to challenge herself with advanced training in Chinese Herbal Medicine and in several styles of acupuncture, including Japanese, Non-insertive, and Pediatric Acupuncture.
She has extensive experience in treating patients for pain management, including back pain, fibromyalgia, and migraines; women’s health; and emotional disorders such as anxiety, depression, stress, and insomnia.
I am dedicated to providing affordable acupuncture to the communities of Central Massachusetts. River Valley Acupuncture uses a community acupuncture practice model. Several patients are treated in the same room, with treatments being performed in recliners instead of on tables. This is closer to the way acupuncture traditionally is practiced in China.
As a result, we can keep our prices affordable. Our office uses a sliding scale system. Acupuncture treatments and herbal consultations cost $20-$40 per visit. You decide what you can afford within this range; we will never ask you to verify your income.
I believe that the body has amazing healing abilities. Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine are highly effective, all-natural, and safe methods of tapping into this healing power. By receiving regular acupuncture treatments, you can experience profound relaxation and stress reduction, relief from pain and discomfort, and renewed energy and vitality
