We take a holistic approach to treating body, mind, and spirit. The roots of Traditional Chinese Medicine are found in ancient Taoist philosophy. Taoism views the individual as an energy system in which body and mind influence and balance one another to maintain good health. We believe that acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage, nutrition and exercise are essential elements for maximizing health and preventing illness in a stressful world.
Our goal is to create a respectful healing partnership to pursue each client’s path to wellness. We listen carefully and reflect on each individual’s history and current needs in order to maximize well-being. We approach healing with intention and integrity. You will receive high quality services from highly-trained, experienced health professionals.

As dedicated health practitioners, we wholeheartedly believe that your health is your most precious resource and most valuable asset. Without good health, your quality of life is diminished and it’s hard to feel content. Approaching wellness from an integrative, holistic manner, we strive to eliminate the causes of disease and illness while promoting wellness education.

Combining the efforts of general practitioners with nutritional experts, functional medicine associates, and others, our staff works to improve the body/mind/spirit connection to help elevate wellness levels throughout the entire body.

From chiropractic treatments and acupuncture to IPT cancer therapy, we work in partnership with the patients themselves, allowing them to take ownership in their own treatment plan while learning more about the integrative nature of the human body. Our focus is to treat the underlying cause of disease and illness, alleviating symptoms and pain through holistic healing.

Here at the Gentle Wellness Center, we are driven by a mission to empower consumers and practitioners both through education, training, and research. We are here to assist each patient on their journey to optimal wellness.

She works closely with the reproductive clinics in the area to give her patients the best care possible. She has always believed that knowing how to help patients starts with knowing them as people, so she can design a treatment plan that's truly right for their individual needs.

Although acupuncture and herbology are cornerstones of treatment, her patients also benefit from her knowledge of Eastern nutrition, Chinese medical massage (tuina), moxibustion, cupping and gua sha.

Cindy is fully licensed in the state of Connecticut and is nationally certified by the National Commission for Certification of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) in both acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. She is a member of the American Association of Acupuncture and Oriental medicine and the Connecticut Society of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.
