After earning a Bachelor of Professional Studies in Health Science, Amy earned a Master’s of Science in Oriental Medicine from the New York College of Health Professionals . Upon graduating in 2003 Amy opened her own practice, Morning Glory Acupuncture, with office locations in Catskill and Long Beach, New York.
From 2006 through 2010, while still growing her practice, Amy served as an Administrative Acupuncturist at Columbia University School of Nursing, where she was involved with two National Institute of Health (NIH) funded studies in the Center for AIDS Research. Following these studies, she again served as an Administrative Acupuncturist for a third NIH funded study at New York University in the division of Special Studies for Symptom Management.
Since spring of 2011, Amy has also worked as a Clinical Administrator of Acupuncture in the Military Wellness Program at Holliswood Hospital.

Most recently Amy has received the honor of being the first acupuncturist invited to work in the Wounded Warrior Project’s new Combat Stress Program.
In 2009, driven by the loss of a friend who had been suffering from untreated Post-traumatic stress, Amy founded Peaceful Minds: A Wellness Center for Veterans. Since then, as Executive Director of Peaceful Minds, Amy has dedicated her life to treating the “silently wounded” combat veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. In order to focus on this passion, Amy closed Morning Glory Acupuncture and to this day continues to put all her energy into growing Peaceful Minds.
