Willow grew up in northern New Mexico, where she was raised by alternative healing-minded parents. As a preteen, she was rescued from debilitating migraines by homeopathy, and saw her brother avoid surgery with chiropractic care following a bike accident. After earning a degree in Communication Arts, she moved to NYC in 2000 to pursue a career in the theater. After several years she pivoted to studying acupuncture, and received her BS/MS at NYCHP. Upon graduation she began practicing on Long Island, where she continues to see patients full time in her private practice, Willow Tree Acupuncture NY. She is board-certified, which she used as a catalyst to attain certification in Kiiko Matsumoto-style acupuncture, facial rejuvenation acupuncture, and is working towards certification in treating pelvic floor dysfunction.

Mona graduated from the University of Miami with a degree in Physical Therapy in 1983 and has practiced as a physical therapist, specializing in pediatrics, since that time. Following a positive personal experience with acupuncture treatment after a car accident, she decided in 2003 to return to school to study acupuncture, feeling that it could help bridge a gap in the healing and treatment of her patients. She attended the New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (NYCTCM) in Mineola, NY, where she earned a Master’s degree in Acupuncture. She later returned to NYCTCM to complete her studies in Oriental Medicine, earning a Master’s degree in Herbology.
