Meet Laura

I’m a California state licensed Acupuncturist originally from Long Island, NY. After graduating from SUNY New Paltz with a bachelor’s degree in English, I found myself wanting  more than what my degree had to offer.  A friend in Oregon introduced me to herbal medicine and, shortly after, a Long Island friend recommended acupuncture. So began the path to my truth calling. 

In 2004, I enrolled at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in NYC. After two years, I decided to explore life on the West Coast and moved to California to finish my studies at Pacific’s San Diego campus. In 2008, after a rigorous four year program, I obtained my Master’s degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine.

Today I live and practice in Northern California and co-founded Earth and Air Wellness in Walnut Creek.

I’ve always had a strong sense that there’s more to health care than doctor visit and prescription pads and I’ve made it my mission to help others gain back power over their health.  I believe that the first step towards wellness is knowledge and I always strive to educated and inspire. In 2009 I created this blog where I share stories from my own journey and simple tools to Cultivate Your Wellness.
