Stephanie
Maceiras, L. Ac.: Stephanie Maceiras graduated from Fordham
University with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Through her
work counseling inner city youth and families, the connection between
mind, body and spirit in healing became a clear and undeniable truth.
It was her desire to fully understand this connection and its applications
in health and healing that began her search for a more holistic
approach to the treatment of an individual. She completed certification
as a Holistic Health Counselor through the Institute for Integrative
Nutrition, and credits this school for introducing her to Chinese
Medicine via her studies of Chinese Dietary Therapy. After three
years of intensive study and self-cultivation she received her Master
of Science in Acupuncture from the Swedish Institute College of
Health Sciences. Stephanie is a Licensed Acupuncturist (L.Ac) in
the State of New York, and a Certified Acupuncture Detoxification
Specialist. She is pleased to be able to offer her services at the
