Please provide a short bio:

Dr. Marc Greenstein, DAC, is a New York State Licensed Acupuncturist with a doctorate degree in acupuncture from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine. He is a graduate of New York College of Health Professions with a masters degree in science/acupuncture and bachelors degree in applied science. Marc has an associates degree in occupational studies in massage therapy and is a New York state Licensed Massage Therapist. Marc is a member of ASNY and the ASA. Marc is a firm believer in compassionate listening and looks forward to being able to help you along your physical, mental, and spiritual journey.

Marc practices Japanese Acupuncture which is a more subtle and gentle approach to healing the physical body through the superficial levels of the skin. Japanese Acupuncture utilizes both needle and non-needle techniques. By effecting the skin level of the body we can effect the autonomic nervous system, the immune system and even the internal organ systems within the body. The main difference between Japanese Acupuncture and other Acupuncture is that it is most likely the most gentle approach to acupuncture. Japanese Acupuncture is excellent for stress relief, trauma, and emotional issues like depression and anxiety.

I love mentoring and am happy to guide anyone here through different issues acupuncturists deal with…from setting up your business as a new acupuncturist, to questions on managing and growing a practice, to working with staff, to dealing with difficult patients you may have, to much more. My fee is a free first consultation of half an hour, which involves a phone call we have to schedule.  After the first free consultation, it is $25 for a half hour conversation, $50 for a full hour conversation via zoom or phone.  To start the mentorship process, email me at [email protected] and we will schedule a time and day to start zooming or talking on the phone. Payments will occur through venmo and can be discussed in email. I have noticed over time that I am a good mentor to people who need help gaining confidence. Being an acupuncturist and a business owner requires alot of personal growth. I’m happy to help with whatever your acupuncture or business needs are and also to encourage you as you grow.
Do you offer an internship option? If so, please describe the length of internship and cost:
I am open to an acupuncture student spending a couple days to one week during school break at my clinic. Just know you will have to cover your own housing accommodations and are expected to help while you learn…for free. What are the rewards of this?
1) Getting to see how a clinic is run and how acupuncturists work.
2) I am always looking for people to employ who would be a good fit. This is a great way to see if it’s a match for both of us…and could potentially lead to a job offer ready to go for when you graduate.
Contact me at [email protected] if interested.

Acupuncture Works is owned and operated by Andrea Schilling LAc, DAOM, L.M.T. Andrea’s extensive background in holistic health was a journey that began in 1996 as a New York State Licensed Massage Therapist. During that time, she also earned her certification in Thai Massage therapy from the Nayada Institute and became specialized in myofascial release, deep-tissue and trigger point therapy over her 14 year career as an LMT.Andrea’s burning desire to increase her skills combined with a love for Eastern Medicine was a natural evolution into the next chapter of education and her pursuit in the science of Acupuncture. This new path began by earning her undergraduate at Daemen College and then moving onto the Finger Lakes School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine of NY Chiropractic College. During this period, she had the honor and privilege to have been granted time to study in China, the birthplace of Eastern Medicine and Acupuncture.Andrea Schilling eventually earned her degree in July of 2011 as a Licensed Acupuncturist of Oriental medicine practitioner, moving immediately into active practice in the field. Since then, she has had additional training at Bastyr University specializing in Facial Rejuvenation a.k.a AcuFacial, and additional training in fertility. She completed the doctoral program at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in 2018.

 

Andrea’s plan is to use her vast knowledge, experience and unprecedented reputation to fulfill her life-long dream of helping patients achieve a successful and delightful healing process. Her devotion to excellence in patient care, patient experience, and patient satisfaction through holistic medicine has become her sole focus and mission at Acupuncture Works.

Welcome to the next step in wellness, business, and life coaching. I am so excited you’ve made the decision to choose me as you’re coach.  I am confident that you are going to have some amazing results and breakthroughs as you go through each daily challenge.  I will be in contact with you multiple ways as you progress. Expect to receive daily tasks to help you break the current barriers. You will initially fill out a questionnaire to determine how I can best help you with areas of concern. Then you will receive a light amount of homework through each step to obtain success. This is tailored for you based off of your needs and will evolve as we go. I plan to incorporate google meet for some face time in addition to email communication.
