After moving to New York, she received a BA in Health Arts and Sciences followed by a masters in Acupuncture from the University of Bridgeport in 2003. She has been privileged to study for many years with Dr. John Diamond, one of the world's leaders in the field of energy medicine. Brigitte is licensed as an acupuncturist in New York and Connecticut, and has also practiced for two years in Australia. Brigitte loves to work with Acupuncture needles but she also loves to use her hands. Soft-Tui-Na, a gentle form of Chinese massage, is a technique that can be used either alone or in conjunction with Acupuncture. Reiki and Reconnective Healing are completely hands-off techniques, that allow the frequencies of energy, light and information to return the body and mind to a better state of balance.
