Tao Wellness NYC

Stephanie Maceiras graduated from Fordham University with a BS in Psychology. Through her work counseling inner city youth and families, the connection between mind, body and spirit in healing became an apparent and undeniable truth. It was her desire to fully understand this connection and its applications in health and healing that began her search for a more holistic approach to the treatment of an individual.

She completed certification as a Holistic Health Counselor through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and credits this school for introducing her to Chinese Medicine via her studies of Chinese Dietary Therapy. After three years of intensive study and self-cultivation she received her MS from the Swedish Institute School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Her training focused on Classical Chinese Medicine which was implemented and taught under the guidance of Jeffrey C. Yuen, an 88th Generation Daoist Priest.

Stephanies dedication to community service projects, locally and abroad, are her way of putting into practice a philosophy of social responsibility and compassionate care. She has served as an acupuncturist in several local community clinics, and is continuing to organize free community acupuncture clinics abroad.

Stephanie is a Licensed Acupuncturist in the State of New York, a Certified Facial Rejuvenation Specialist, and Certified Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist. She is pleased to be able to offer her services to people with a wide range of health issues, and invites you to experience the unique approach to body, mind, and spirit offered by Classical Chinese Medicine.

Currently, Stephanie has a private practice specializing in Facial Rejuvenation in Union Square, Manhattan, operates a Sliding Scale Community Clinic in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, is a Founding member of Open Channels: A Neighborhood Acupuncture Project, and has both organized and completed two acupuncture outreach projects serving communities in Nicaragua and Bolivia.
