Erika Forsell

L.Ac.

Since taking her first Tai Chi class in 1992, Erika has studied East Asian medicine, martial arts and yoga. These in-depth studies have informed and strengthened her belief that all aspects of a persons' life affect their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. She has been a New York State licensed Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist since 2007 and is a certified Breathwork facilitator. Originally from California, she now lives and works in New York. 

Erika offers private, individualized sessions as well as Community Acupuncture at the Collective. 

Acupuncture is the insertion of hair-thin needles at different points on the body to affect change. It is one of the many modalities that falls under East Asian Medicine – an ancient art, dating back over 2000 years, that still applies in our modern times. Herbal medicine, moxibustion, cupping, tui na, diet, meditation, astrology and qi gong are several of the tools that are used within this system of medicine.

Community Acupuncture is a 30-45 minute treatment done in a shared space. In this group setting you will rest comfortably in a reclining chair or on a treatment table. These sessions focus on relaxation and the regulation of the immune and nervous systems. Please contact Erika at erika@erikaforsell.com if you have any questions or would like to discuss a specific health issue that is outside this scope of treatment.
