OLAPIDOUS ACUPUNCTURE

Kiara Segal is a licensed and nationally board certified acupuncturist. She earned her Master’s in Acupuncture and Diploma in Chinese Herbal Studies from the Academy for Five Element Acupuncture. Prior to beginning her studies in Chinese Medicine, Kiara attended Vassar College where she graduated with a BA in Integrative Health — a self-designed discipline dedicated to exploring the intersection between personal, political, and environmental health. Her years as a yoga instructor, as well as her background in dance, have further shaped and deepened her understanding of the synergistic relationship between body, mind and spirit.

Kiara’s practice draws upon this multifaceted commitment to holistic wellness. She tailors each acupuncture treatment to the specific needs and evolving patterns of every individual. Through her compassionate approach and grounding presence, Kiara strives to foster a space of profound healing for her patients. She is both passionate about assisting her patients towards physical and emotional balance, and sincerely devoted to their empowerment as agents of their own health and well-being. Kiara is particularly adept in treating chronic pain and inflammation, digestive concerns, hormonal regulation, stress and anxiety, and conditions marked by trauma.

During her spare time, Kiara can be found cozied up with a book, knitting or hiking with her dogs.

“Kiara helped me through a challenging time in my life. I felt that more than the acupuncture treatment itself, which resolved the symptoms within a few weeks, there was something about simply being with Kiara that felt deeply healing. Kiara’s warm presence and words acknowledged what I was feeling or where I was without judgment. I felt accepted to just be, and to blossom, from within.””
