CHARLENE LINCOLN IS THE FOUNDER OF ACUPUNCTURE FOR THE PEOPLE SANTA
BARBARA. SHE HAS BEEN PRACTICING ACUPUNCTURE FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS.
GRADUATING FROM THE SANTA BARBARA COLLEGE OF ORIENTAL MEDICINE SHE
RECEIVED A MASTER’S IN TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE. AFTER
GRADUATION SHE COMPLETED A 7 MONTH INTERNSHIP AT THE RENOWNED BEIJING
UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL. FROM THERE SHE BEGAN HER CAREER WORKING FOR A
MEDICAL DOCTOR WHO SPECIALIZED IN CHRONIC PAIN. CHARLENE HONED HER
SKILLS BY TREATING UPWARDS OF 80 PATIENTS A WEEK. THERE SHE TREATED
EVERY TYPE OF PAIN CONDITION IMAGINABLE AND RECEIVED FEEDBACK FROM HER
PATIENTS DAILY THAT ACUPUNCTURE WAS THE MODALITY THAT WAS GIVING THEM
THE MOST EFFECTIVE PAIN RELIEF.

CHARLENE BECAME INTERESTED IN ACUPUNCTURE, NATURAL MEDICINE, NUTRITION
AND YOGA IN HER 20’S. BATTLING WITH WEIGHT, HORMONAL ISSUES,
ALLERGIES AND CHRONIC PAIN FROM A CAR ACCIDENT LEFT HER LOOKING FOR
ANSWERS. SHE WAS FASCINATED AND EXCITED BY THE THEORY THAT IF YOU GIVE
YOUR BODY WHAT IT NEEDS IT WILL HEAL. IN HER HEART SHE BELIEVED THAT
WAS TRUE AND WANTED TO PUT THAT THEORY TO THE TEST. BY FEEDING HER
BODY PROPER NUTRITION, GETTING ACUPUNCTURE REGULARLY AND INCORPORATING
YOGA SHE WAS ABLE TO TRANSFORM HER HEALTH.

FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS SHE HAS HELPED COUNTLESS PEOPLE GET OUT OF THE
HORRIBLE CYCLE OF PAIN AND REGAIN THEIR HEALTH. HER SPECIALTIES
INCLUDE CHRONIC PAIN, WOMEN’S HEALTH AND ALLERGIES. PATIENTS WHO
WORK WITH CHARLENE RECOGNIZE THAT SHE HAS A REAL IN DEPTH
UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONDITIONS SHE TREATS. BECAUSE SHE DEALT FIRST
HAND WITH THE CONDITIONS SHE SPECIALIZES IN, SHE HAS A UNIQUE
UNDERSTANDING OF THEM.

CHARLENE’S LOVE FOR ACUPUNCTURE AND HERBS GROWS MORE AND MORE. SHE
NEVER CEASES TO BE AMAZED AT HOW EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE ACUPUNCTURE AND
HERBS ARE FOR HEALING MANY HEALTH CONDITIONS WITHOUT ANY NEGATIVE SIDE
EFFECTS. THE ONLY FRUSTRATION SHE HAS HAD IS HOW COST PROHIBITIVE
ACUPUNCTURE IS FOR MANY OF US. ACUPUNCTURE IS A PEOPLE’S MEDICINE
AND SHOULD BE ACCESSIBLE TO ANYONE WHO SEEKS OUT A NATURAL APPROACH TO
PAIN RELIEF. THAT IS WHY CHARLENE CREATED ACUPUNCTURE FOR THE PEOPLE
SANTA BARBARA. SHE WANTED A PLACE WHERE THE COMMUNITY OF SANTA BARBARA
COULD EASILY ACCESS ACUPUNCTURE AFFORDABLY AND GET THE CARE THEY NEED
AND AS OFTEN AS THEY NEED IT. YOU CAN AFFORD TO FEEL AMAZING.

I have been interested in Oriental Medicine for over 20 years and have incorporated acupressure, shiatsu and acupuncture in my previous massage and chiropractic practices. Since finishing my studies at the University of Bridgeport Acupuncture Institute and moving to Glens Falls, I have concentrated on acupuncture although I draw on my previous experience to help patients. I feel that Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is more than just acupuncture but a way of life that includes exercise, diet and mental outlook. Acupuncture is a powerful tool that allows people to deal with the stresses of everyday living: work, family, aging relatives, what's going on in the world. Addressing all these demands takes a toll; TCM and acupuncture gives people a mechanism to heal themselves and a place where they can begin to bring balance back into their lives.

I enjoy using my experience to work with patients so they can enjoy living and be less burdened down by the demands of their life.

If you are curious about acupuncture and TCM, contact me and come in for a complementary consultation.
