Hi, I’m Milana, and my journey into health and wellness began long before I ever stepped into a classroom.
From a young age, I felt deeply connected to the natural world, captivated by its rhythms, energies, and the profound ways it supports healing. As a child, I would run through the trees, expressing gratitude for their presence, and marvel at the dragonflies dancing around me. That early curiosity evolved into a lifelong passion for understanding the body, energy, and the innate wisdom of nature.
In 2018, I formalized my studies with a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) and Reiki Level 1 certification. But my desire to deepen my knowledge and expand my ability to help others only grew stronger. By 2020, I had completed additional Reiki training and began offering energy healing sessions in a small crystal shop.
As the world shifted during the pandemic, I found myself reflecting on how I could make a meaningful impact on my community. When my grandparents mentioned their experience with acupuncture, something resonated deeply. The idea of immersing myself in a medicine with over 3,000 years of wisdom felt both natural and necessary.
After exploring programs across the country, I discovered the New England School of Acupuncture—the first acupuncture school in the U.S. Trusting my instincts, I applied, and when I received my acceptance letter while on a trip to California, I knew my path was set. Within a month, I packed up my life in New Jersey and moved to Massachusetts to begin an intense and transformative three-year journey.
Throughout my studies, I specialized in Japanese and Korean acupuncture while also training in Chinese herbal medicine. With over 2,500 hours of clinical experience, thousands of hours of study, a master’s degree, and four board certifications, I am now dedicated to bringing the depth and power of Traditional Chinese Medicine to those seeking a holistic, natural approach to health and healing.
My mission is to bridge the ancient wisdom of TCM with modern-day wellness, offering personalized guidance that empowers individuals to reconnect with their bodies, restore balance, and cultivate lasting well-being.

My Approach
I believe that true healing comes from understanding and working with your body’s natural rhythms, not against them. My approach is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a system that has helped people achieve balance and vitality for over 3,000 years. Instead of masking symptoms, I focus on identifying the root cause of imbalance and providing practical, sustainable solutions that fit seamlessly into your daily life. Through personalized food therapy, acupressure routines, breathwork, and holistic lifestyle recommendations, I help you restore harmony and optimize your well-being. My goal is to empower you with simple yet effective tools that support lasting health—because wellness should feel natural, intuitive, and achievable.
