About Caroline

Having worked for more than three decades in California, New York, and New Jersey with clients with multiple types of pain and families trying to conceive, I am impressed on a daily basis how much this medicine has to offer everyone who encounters it.

After receiving her B.A. in Psychology and Biology from Boston University in 1990, Caroline taught and traveled in Asia, exploring the philosophies of the East. She returned to San Francisco where she received her Master’s of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine where she had the great honor of training with Dr. Lifang Liang, a Chinese Gynecologist specializing in Obstetrics and Infertility. Dr. Liang is the renowned author of texts on Gynecology and IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). Caroline also did post-graduate study in mainland China at the Nan Chang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and later completed her Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in New York City (now PCHS) where she was on the Faculty of the Department of Herbal Medicine for many years prior to the pandemic. She has completed the 2 year advanced training in Chinese Medical Dermatology with Dr Mazin Al-Khafaji and is listed on the International Register of Chinese Medicine Dermatology, with Sharon Weizenbaum multiple times in the two-year Graduate Mentorship Program, where she is a Teaching Assistant and Mentor, with Suzanne Robidoux in the 2-year Internship in the Feng-Shi Lun Jing Fang Herbal Medicine lineage, and with Genevieve Le Goff in two years of study of Classic Texts. Caroline is also the co-founder and Vice President of a non-profit professional organization for practitioners of East Asian Herbal Medicine, the Shen Nong Society,  that sponsors an annual Conference for Herbalists. She is also on the Advisory Committee for the White Pine Circle where she intermittently lectures, presently with Sharon Weizenbaum and Suzanne Connole in the year long 'Women's Great Turning' Online OB-GYN course.

Caroline has practiced in the Metro New York area since 1995 where she was a founding partner of Soho Herbs and Acupuncture and has taught at the major institutions of Traditional Chinese Medicine in New York City, including the Pacific College of Health Sciences (formerly PCOM), and the now defunct Tri-State College of Acupuncture, Mercy College Graduate Department of Oriental Medicine, and Touro College Graduate Department of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, as well as at the New York Medical College in the Medical Acupuncture Program for Physicians. More recently, Caroline has lectured on Women's Reproductive Health and Menopause for Doctoral Programs in Seattle, Los Angeles, and Virginia and on Introductory Herbal Medicine in the Master's Program at PCHS in New York.  Presently, she is on Faculty at SIEAM (Seattle Institute of East Asian Medicine) lecturing on Clinical Integrated OB-GYN. She has also lectured privately and for several Continuing Education Departments on the Treatment of Infertility and Pregnancy and continues to specialize in the treatment of Obstetrical and Gynecological Disorders, Internal Medicine, and Dermatology in her private practice in New Jersey.

Caroline is licensed by the States of New York and New Jersey, as well as Board Certified in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine by the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncturists and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). She has sat on the Chinese Herbal Exam Review Committee for the NCCAOM and is a member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) and NJAAOM: NJ Assoc for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.
