Cindy E. Levitz, Licensed Acupuncturist
My goal is to help you feel better quickly, experience a better quality of life and reach a better level of health in the future! Treatment is comfortable, relaxing, effective and tailored to you as an individual.
In private practice since 1996, I have successfully treated a wide variety of people with all types of health problems. I combine different styles of acupuncture and modalities to achieve positive changes quickly.
My specialties include Acute and Chronic Pain, Stress and Anxiety, Women's Health Issues, Digestive Issues and much more. You do not have to continue to put up with your back pain, neck and shoulder pain and tightness, tension and frustration, insomnia or fatigue and lack of energy. People consistently get results with my natural approach, and often avoid medications or surgery.
Please, call me today to discuss your personal questions and concerns. I will offer a complimentary office consultation as well, to see how I can help you.
Education/Training
My degree of the 70's was an Associates Degree in Dental Hygiene. While working in dentistry, I completed a BFA at Hunter College in painting in 1985. In the early 90's, I graduated from Tri State College of Acupuncture with a Master's in Science in Acupuncture and continued to complete a Post-graduate degree in Chinese Herbal Medicine. I feel that my professional work now is a wonderful mixture of science and creativity.
I have been fortunate to have studied with many masters in the field from all over the world, such as Mark Seem, Bob Flaws, Richard Tan, Kiiko Matsumoto and many others. I participated in a program of education and knowledge sharing in China with doctors in hospitals in Beijing and Shanghai.
I continue to read and study this rich medicine and the wealth knowledge in the field. I have also studied Zheng Gu Tui Na and incorporate it's techniques of medical massage in my practice.
Bio
A native New Yorker, I have been a healthcare professional since the late 1970's. I love helping people and watching them reach their personal and professional goals. Through my work with others, I have also grown personally and professionally.
In my leisure time, I enjoy painting, going to see theater and film, concerts and being out of doors. The beach has always been a favorite of mine. I love swimming and walking on the beach.
I practice Qi Gong everyday and in the past, studied with a master of Tai Chi Chuan for 15 years.
I have always been interested in Asian art and culture, but came to study acupuncture and Chinese medicine because of a personal health problem. Like many of my patients, I had tried all types of western medical drugs and treatments over a period of 5 years with no results. I suffered from an inner ear problem which resulted in debilitating attacks of dizziness and nausea. Finally, I had treatment with an acupuncturist. Soon after starting treatment, I had no more dizziness. I progressed from relief care through to maintenance care and have not had a recurrence in more than 25 years. I was able to regain my good health and enjoyment of life in a short time. I was a dental professional for years, but I returned to school to become a Licensed Acupuncturist and Certified Herbalist.
My personal health crisis led me to change my life in wonderful and amazing ways!
