Dawn Balusik

I provide both Primary Care and complementary natural health care. I offer acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, massage therapy and nutritional guidance. If you are seeking a safe and healthful alte ative to pharmaceutical medications, or a complement to your current medical therapy, this is for you!

My special areas of interest are women's health, infertility, endometriosis, headaches, allergies, gastro-intestinal problems, joint & muscle pain and sports injuries. I also provide herbal and nutritional alte atives to pharmaceuticals for children's health.

My practice combines acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, massage therapy, and nutrition into a comprehensive natural health package. I take the time to listen to patients' conce s and issues, and spend 45 mins to 1 hour on each patient visit. I dispense herbs in tablet and liquid form, as well as topical powders, patches and ointments from my on-site herbal pharmacy. I am dedicated to providing safe, effective natural wellness care with compassion and individualized treatment.

I've been practicing natural therapies since 1996, starting with a certification in Acupressure massage from the Acupressure Institute in Berkeley, CA. I then attended Massage Therapy School in Albuquerque, NM and practiced for 2 years, before also plunging into the exciting world of Oriental Medicine. I graduated from East West College of Natural Medicine in 2004 with a Master's of Oriental Medicine. I am licensed in both Florida and Rhode Island as an Acupuncture Physician and Doctor of Acupuncture, and I am Nationally Certified in Acupuncture, Chinese Herbology and Oriental Medicine. I am licensed in both Florida and New Mexico as a Massage Therapist.
