Many of you know that before I became an acupuncturist I worked as a marine biologist. What some of you aren't aware of is that I also volunteered many hours at the New England Aquarium's rescue and rehabilitation center. This clip of a sea turtle getting acupuncture is like watching both of my careers collide to make something beautiful happen.

Coastal Acupuncture has a brand new design thanks to my fabulous assistant Annie Melden. This has been on my "to do" list for such a long time. There is no way I could have finished this without Annie's hard work and creative genius. The pictures of the clinic are her handiwork.
