Why “Haven?”

As some of you may know, Haven Acupuncture is not my first practice. My husband and I had founded and operated our first venture - Thrive Acupuncture & Chiropractic - near Pittsburgh, PA for 4 years. We decided to call it Thrive because it was an energizing word that evoked a feeling of flourishing and prospering, which is what we want to help our patients do in their lives. When we sold our practice and moved to the Hudson Valley, I knew I was going to have to reflect on a new name to represent me and my practice. This time, it’s a solo venture, as my husband has a full time job elsewhere, and I felt drawn to a word with a softer energy.

Through the joyful experience I gained by caring for such incredible souls over the years, I’ve learned that my favorite aspect of my role is to create a place of refuge. A safe harbor where you can land in the midst of the busy week that offers you the opportunity to connect with yourself, realign, and heal. The building, the treatment room, even the intake and the treatment - it all provides the space in which you can receive the guidance of the medicine that promotes balance within. Because of this, the name Haven feels like the perfect fit.

My passion for acupuncture lies in its ability to relieve physical pain, to help process stress, emotions, and painful experiences, and to give you greater freedom to feel like yourself. When you’re feeling like you, you can live out your potential and purpose with greater ease and joy. My goal is to provide a haven of nurturing support where you can feel connected, encouraged, and empowered to enjoy a healthy and fulfilling life.
