Gary has been studying health and nutrition for over twenty years and began his journey into studying Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2017. He attended The Atlantic Institute of Oriental Medicine (ATOM) and earned his masters in Chinese Medicine and a BS in Health Sciences. Gary is licensed and registered in the state of Florida and Pennsylvania and holds a national accreditation from the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). He is also certified by the Florida Board of Acupuncture to perform injection therapy.
Gary was introduced to acupuncture in 2013 and was quite surprised by how effective and quickly this medicine worked for him. He used to run extensively in the deserts of Arizona and used to challenge himself by participating in off-road triathlons. By overdoing his training he eventually ran into severe hip soreness and was sidelined until a friend recommended acupuncture. After just 3-4 sessions combining needles with electrical stimulation, fire cupping and targeted massage techniques Gary was 100% back to feeling great. He was amazed by this experience and became fascinated with Chinese Medicine.
Gary obtained a certification in clinical nutrition with the Blue Heron Academy, is certified to instruct qigong by the Supreme Science Qigong Center, and he is a certified reiki master. Additionally, Gary certified as a Geo-Biological Consultant by the International Geo-Safe Institute in Germany; this enables him to scientifically and bio-energetically test homes and offices for electro-magnetic pollution and offers earth based natural solutions to create healthy living environments.
Gary has found the perfect profession for him as he can continue to study the depths of Chinese Medicine and advanced techniques while being of service to help as many people as he can. He enjoys helping getting patients out of pain and getting athletes and weekend adventures back to enjoying to doing what they love.
He is excited to team up with Lehigh Valley Oriental Medicine and looks forward to many years of success stories from patients.
