Stacey Simone
DAc, Lac, Diplomate in Acupuncture (NCCAOM)
Stacey Simone holds a Clinical Doctorate of Acupuncture from Pacific College of Health and Science. Prior to this, Stacey received her Masters of Science in Oriental Medicine from New York College of Health Profession, where she studied Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), western medicine, and the physical art form of Qi Gong (standing meditation). Stacey is Nationally Board Certified through NCCAOM. Additionally, Stacey holds a Bachelor of Science in psychology and elementary education from SUNY New Paltz.
In 2006, after trying acupuncture as a last resort for the treatment of both her young children, Stacey watched in amazement as their health issues unraveled. A student of life and problem-solver at heart, Stacey’s intrigue by what she witnessed led her to her first acupuncture classroom to simply learn the “whys” behind her children’s improvements. Shortly into her first semester she realized she had found her true calling and set out on a new career path; one that still continues to fill her intellectually as well as spiritually today.
Stacey has experience and success in treating a wide range of conditions including allergies, headaches, respiratory and digestive disorders, skin conditions, and gynecological issues, but specializes in Sports Acupuncture and post-concussion syndrome. By blending her knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine with modern day understanding of the human body, Stacey has the unique ability to tap into two different mindsets to get to the root cause of a patient’s problem. Stacey continues to further her education by attending seminars and familiarizing herself with the latest research in the fields of sports medicine, musculoskeletal pain relief, anatomy and physiology, corrective postural therapy and sound therapy in order to efficiently resolve her patients’ issues using proven therapeutic methods.
Stacey enjoys sharing natural health tips with her patients so that they may continue to reap the benefits of a healthy mind and body even after their treatment is over. She blends acupuncture, nutrition, Tui-Na, herbs, meditation techniques and lifestyle coaching into her treatment plans in order to create a balance within each patient. Her belief is that once the body achieves balance, it will maintain wellness.
“I am a firm believer that the body was designed to heal itself. Given the proper attention, your body can and will work properly. I would love the opportunity to have an impact on your well-being. Together, we can find ways to balance your lifestyle and improve the way you feel.”
Stacey Simone Acupuncture looks to assess and treat the body as whole in order to get to the root of a patient’s condition. The inter-connectedness of the entire body is taken into account in order to have the greatest clinical effect. Clear treatment plans are created in order to allow patients to heal, Achieve Balance and Maintain Wellness.
