ACUPUNCTURE, Founder of TWC

A licensed acupuncturist and board-certified herbalist in NYC and Westchester, Deb has been involved with, studying, and practicing Chinese Medicine for fifteen years. During her master's program at Touro College, she participated in a year-long internship at Lutheran Hospital in Brooklyn, New York. Upon graduation, she was presented with the Touro College Maimonides Award for exemplifying high ideals in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Deb apprenticed alongside Thomas Droge – while in school and even after – for five years and garnered extensive experience in treating orthopedic and sports injuries, psychiatric conditions, fertility, and autoimmune diseases using Chinese Medicine. She has been in private practice for over fifteen years.

What inspires Deb most about Chinese Medicine is its ability to see each person as a unique individual. It acknowledges all experiences such as past and/or chronic health issues, childhood illnesses, stress, eating habits, physical injuries, and other lifestyle choices as major influencers in our current state of health, allowing us to create a targeted treatment plan that works specifically for each person.

Functional Diagnostic Nutrition®, Founder of TWC

Michele has been on the self-healing path for many years since her twenties when she was riddled with stomach aches and headaches. Between healing herself and her family of autoimmune and Lyme, she has been immersed in learning about food, ingredients, and supplements to create balance. She first-handed uncovered the dangers of gluten and dairy and how sugar and processed food affect our sensitive bodies so very much.

Deciding she needed to spread this knowledge to the world, or anyone who would listen, she knew there was more. She needed answers - for herself as well as my clients. That led her to Functional Diagnostic Nutrition®, where she dived into the science behind why and what and fine-tuned my skills to look at each client's test results and health history to drive their healing. 

She has worked personally with leading health and wellness experts in her journey of self-discovery, healing, and creating balance in her own life, and is passionate about sharing her knowledge and insights with you.
