About Rachel Wolf, L.OM. Dipl. OM.
I was raised in a family of medical professionals. My mother's focus was in mental health and my father's was in physical health. My interest in Chinese medicine grew out of the connection it draws between the mental and physical aspects of being human, and the desire to help people achieve balance between the two. I feel that Chinese Medicine is a uniting modality that weaves these different dimensions of the human experience together.
My treatments may consist of various techniques of acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, tuina, and nutritional advice. In addition to these hands-on modalities, I have a special interest in working with Chinese herbal remedies and food-therapy. The ability to use these different tools is what enables me to set the stage for your body to better heal itself. Special areas of interest are in fertility and postpartum support, emotional well-being, easing musculoskeletal pain, and creating a space where the stresses of daily life can start to slip away.
I am a licensed acupuncturist and nationally certified herbalist. I graduated from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in New York City with a Master of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine (MSTOM), where I trained for four years in both acupuncture and Chinese herbs. I have also trained with Claudia Citkovitz L.Ac. at Lutheran Hospital in Brooklyn in the labor and delivery department, where they use acupuncture for pain management, and have conducted research on the use of Chinese herbs with muscular spasms. Further, I have a Bachelor's degree in the arts from New York University and a deep understanding of anatomical movement from years of dedicated yoga practice.
My intention is to help her patients to be their best selves. As an attentive listener and a compassionate person, I approach my practice and life with a sense of humor and an open mind.
