    Lea joined the YinOva Center while in her senior year of New York University as a Pre-Medical student. She graduated with a BA in Psychology and Pre-Medical studies. Then, inspired by the YinOva Center’s whole-body philosophy, Lea decided to pursue a Master of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in New York. She enjoys cooking and views food as a way to nourish and rejuvenate the body. Because her lifestyle has her always on the go, she makes sure her recipes will adapt. Her recipes are developed to be quick and easy to prepare, yet still full of nutrients, rich in antioxidants and healing properties. Lea plans to combine her background in both Western and Eastern medicine and her love for cooking to enable an integrative, holistic approach to wellness.

    Seeing the effectiveness of Chinese Medicine in the patients at the YinOva Center compelled me to integrate acupuncture and TCM into my study of medicine.”

    The first thing people notice when they come to the YinOva Center is that we’re at street level, with a shop front on E 11th st, near Union Square.

    The second thing our patients tell us is that, as they walk into the YinOva Center, they leave the hustle and bustle of downtown Manhattan behind.

    Our office has been described as a calm oasis and we take pride in our large, airy waiting room and cozy, private treatment rooms. The office is scrupulously clean and was designed with great care to ensure your safety and relaxation.

I'm attracted to Chinese medicine for its attention to the details of the individual.
It is nuanced and precise. It is problem solving in its most creative form
- a challenging and very satisfying way to spend each day.
