Todd is a natural teacher who brings his passion for learning and teaching into the treatment room. Initially Todd had his heart set on conventional medicine for a career as he studied biology at Temple University. He soon realized that the concept of health and well-being was missing from his education. Todd then turned to Chinese medicine to begin to understand how to create and sustain health. He completed his Masters of Acupuncture at Tai Sophia in Laurel Maryland where he is currently in the midst of completing his Doctorate in Chinese Medicine.

Ever a student, Todd has continued to study with some of the greatest teachers in Chinese Medicine. He trained with Lonny Jarret , a famous acupuncturist, Jeffery Yuen, a renowned Daoist priest and healer and Andrew Neuget-Head an extremely accomplished acupuncturist who apprenticed under several famous traditional Chinese doctors.

Beyond Acupuncture , Todd is a certified Zero Balancer. Zero Balancing (ZB) is a form of bodywork where the practitioner balances the structure and energy of the body. Designed by Dr. Fritz Smith D.O., M.D., L.Ac., ZB utilizes both the Western understanding of structure and the Eastern understanding of energy.
