With fifteen years of experience in the health and fitness arena, Adena has long been dedicated to improving the health and lives of others. Her determination to help people optimize their physical self took an inward turn at age 20 when she was diagnosed with a digestive disorder. She embarked on a path most people take, consulting with Doctors, taking medication and considering surgery. Finding no relief in western medicine, she began to be treated through alternate measures and incorporated acupuncture, nutrition and herbs to attain total body wellness. After her own personal positive experiences she decided to pursue a Masters degree in Acupuncture graduating from the New England School of Acupuncture in 2007. Adena also holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science from The George Washington University. Adena founded Adena Acupuncture and Yoga based on her belief of patient health through alternative practices; including yoga, nutrition and acupuncture.
Adena has treated people living with HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, cancer and various other serious illnesses. She has also worked at Boston Medical Center , treating inpatient adolescents and pediatrics. At the forefront of her practice is a belief in educating her patients in alternative health practices and encouraging them to become attuned to what their body needs for optimal health and happiness. Additionally, she has treated patients for smoking cessation and drug and alcohol detox.
Adena is a licensed acupuncturist by the New York Board of Registration in Medicine. She is also a Registered Yoga Teacher by Yoga Alliance and attended the Nosara Yoga Institute in Costa Rica.
