Acupuncture and Herbs in Davis Square, Somerville MA
About three months ago, I joined a great local gym called Durbrow Performance Training (also owned by a female entrepreneur!) in East Somerville. It’s not a traditional gym with treadmills and weight machines. Instead, I sign up for classes to do personal training programs in a group setting. It’s been a terrific experience! My body is …
It’s been a couple months since I got back from Hong Kong and it feels like the happy haze from my trip is finally starting to wear off. I really enjoyed visiting this bustling city that was still wide awake at 11:30pm (like me!) and of course, I loved hanging out with my family! We …

Predictions point to a more grounded year full of new beginnings and awakenings. To celebrate, I …
Last June 9th, I was getting my Tour de France on with our friends at the 2016 Bicycles Battling Cancer (BBC) charity event. For the 7th year in a row, my husband and his teammates rode 30, 70, and 100 miles to raise money for the American Cancer Society. When Vincenzo Nibali won the Tour …

In the last few years, there have been quite a few articles coming out on how acupuncture can help with allergies. Indeed, it can be very effective by itself or combined with other remedies, especially Chinese herbs.
