About Lauren
Lauren Fortuna is a New York State Licensed Acupuncturist, and certified by
the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.
She had the pleasure of studying Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine at the
Swedish Institute School of Acupuncture, and graduated with a Master of
Science degree in Acupuncture. At the Swedish Institute, Lauren had the
opportunity to study both Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as Classical
Acupuncture, which allows her to offer a variety of treatment options.
Lauren has successfully treated a diverse clientele across a wide range of
health issues. Patients have sought treatment for issues such as pain
management (including back, neck and shoulder pain), women’s wellness,
allergy relief, digestive complaints, as well as for stress management.
One thing to keep in mind is that every patient that seeks treatment with
Lauren is treated as an individual. Lauren does not merely look at your
symptoms, nor does she treat people with similar issues the same. Your
unique health patterns are looked at and evaluated thoroughly, and then a
specific treatment plan is tailored to suit your specific needs.
Women’s wellness is a personal as well as professional commitment for
Lauren. Lauren decided to study acupuncture after a family member had great
success being treated for Endometriosis with acupuncture. This peaked her
interest, and so Lauren began to explore the world of Chinese Medicine.
Through her practice, Lauren strives to help more women who are faced with
health issues.
In addition to acupuncture, Lauren utilizes a holistic approach of methods
that incorporate moxibustion, auricular therapy, cupping, tui na (Chinese
Meridian Massage), gua sha and aromatherapy into her sessions.
Lauren is currently accepting new patients. Free phone consultations
available at (718) 541-5016.
