Welcome! I'm Annie, the founder and Acupuncturist of Blue Buddha Medicine. I've curated this private acupuncture practice to be a healing sanctuary for the care of humans through all of their seasons, The Rising (Adolescence and Early Adulthood), The Hoping (All aspects of female and male fertility), The Becoming (Pregnancy and Postpartum) The Being (All aspects of life: stress, pain and ills), and The Shift (Perimenopause and Menopause). I've intentionally designed this space to be soothing, healing, deeply restorative and results oriented.
My background and training include obtaining a master's degree in Oriental medicine (M.S.O.M) from Phoenix Institute of Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture. I am a Licensed Acupuncturist (L.Ac) in both AZ and MA and a credentialed Diplomate of the National Certification Board for Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine. In early 2022, I went on to receive advanced training in Fertility Acupuncture and became a Fellow of The Acupuncture and TCM Board of Reproductive Medicine (FABORM).
By addressing the root cause of dis-ease and dysfunction with an integrative medicine approach, I blend the best of conventional medicine with the wisdom and simplicity of traditional Chinese medicine. Evidence-based complementary therapies such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, targeted supplements, nutritional counseling and mindfulness form the basis of my craft of natural medicine.
As a L.Ac and FABORM Acupuncturist and Herbalist I founded Tao of Women Clinic in Tempe, AZ. Patients there have been trusting me with all aspects of their care for 16 years. You can read kind words and reviews about me here. While I am saddened to close this chapter in AZ, I'm thrilled to bring my love of this medicine to Blue Buddha in the Berkshires of Massachusetts. I look forward to helping you transform your health and vitality and improve your life beyond what you thought was possible!

My Mission
I love treating people and helping them feel their best! In this busy world we often become so distracted and focused on helping others that we can easily lose sight of what we need for our own healing. I hear you, I see you and I'm here to help guide you back to your best self, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
My Vision
I believe we should feel strong, healthy, and vital.. My vision is to bring this to The Berkshires. For the last 16 years as an acupuncturist, I have watched people transform before my eyes, becoming themselves again, getting out of pain and dis-ease, and often going on to grow their families! I look forward to meeting you wherever you are on your healing path.
