Patricia R. Berglund is a licensed acupuncturist in New York State
and in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. She is a diplomate of
Oriental Medicine with the NCCAOM (National Certification Committee
for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine). With a life-long interest in
Chinese Arts, coupled with the strong desire to help those in need, it
was a natural and seamless transition into the study and practice of
Chinese Medicine. She has studied Chinese Ink Painting with a Master
Painter and has been studying and practicing Chan Buddhism for over 10
years.
Before moving to Boston, she ran a private practice in Stockholm,
Sweden. There, she worked with a diverse population as well as
patients from the Clinic for Eating Disorders in Stockholm. She
offered treatments at little-to-no cost to all patients of the Clinic.
During Patricia's time earning a Masters Degree in Oriental Medicine
at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in NYC, Patricia worked at
the NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases as an acupuncturist for the
Initiative for Women with Disabilities (IWD). The program serves a
high-need population of women with autoimmune diseases in a fast-paced
and busy clinic setting.
It is important to Patricia to offer a holistic approach to her
treatments. Besides acupuncture, she employs other modalities such as;
cupping, gua-sha, e-stim, and tui-na. She imparts to her patients how
emotions play a role in physical health, how food is medicine, how
mindfulness and meditation have profound effects on health. She
explains to her patients how part of the brilliance of Chinese
Medicine lies in it's customized approach to each individual. Patricia
knows that by empowering patients with the knowledge to care for their
minds and bodies...health, wellness and balance are ultimately at each
person's grasp.
