My career began in Los Angeles as a social worker for drug addicts. Wanting to educate the masses, I began producing a series on TBS called Healthy Living. I enhanced my thirst for knowledge while toning my bodywork skills; becoming a Massage Therapist. I was fortunate to marry my two favorite passions, healing arts and educational production.
Together, Acupuncture and Massage Therapy create a symbiotic & harmonious balance. NYHealing Touch has coined the term, Accusage, providing the benefits of touch with the precise ancient old medicine of acupuncture. Acussage provides my patients with a total approach to health & healing.
The nature of acupuncture is to promote healing and alleviate pain and suffering. Acupuncture treats the human body as a whole. The intentions behind treatments are those of balancing and tonifying the flow of vital energy throughout the physical, emotional and spiritual pathways.
Conditions Commonly Treated with Acupuncture:
Massage Therapy has evolved throughout human evolution. Hippocrates, considered the father of medicine, wrote about the use of friction in the treatment of many ailments. "Rubbing has the effect of relaxing...rubbing can bind a joint that is too loose, and loosen a joint that is too rigid."
The basic goal of massage therapy is to help the body heal itself and to increase health and well-being. Massage therapy is intimately involved with anatomic and histological changes associated with disease and injury. More importantly, we work with how these diseases or conditions change the way our clients function.
Pregnancy is an experience of transformation, both joyful and challenging. While not replacing standard prenatal care from your OBGYN or midwife, many women today choose acupuncture to treat pregnancy-related problems safely and holistically. Regular balancing treatments throughout pregnancy enhance the health of the mother thus improving the environment in which the baby develops. While some treatments may cause a slight increase in fetal movements, no treatment, unless intended to start labor, should significantly increase uterine activity.
In addition, prenatal acupuncture is considered safe during pregnancy by the World Health Organization (WHO), if performed by a licensed, experienced practitioner. So if you’re suffering uncomfortable conditions during your pregnancy, acupuncture may bring you relief.
Regular massage and acupuncture during the postnatal period is very beneficial to all new moms. Postnatal massage addresses physical discomforts, as well as your emotional state. Body, mind and soul are nurtured and rejuvenated, helping you be the best mom you can be.
Mei Zen means "Beautiful People". Facial Rejuvenation is for the person who wants to turn the clock back, look his or her best, feel revitalized, and enjoy it all with good health and a healthy sense of well-being.

Lymphatic massage was developed in the 1930's and used to help improve the flow of lymph throughout the body, stimulate metabolism, help eliminate wastes from the body and strengthen the body's defense system against foreign substances. The technique uses gentle, rhythmic strokes and pumping movements towards the direction of the lymph nodes throughout the body.
