Gateway Acupuncture - Workshops

Dear Family, Friends, and Clients,

I would like to invite you to a “Family Fitness Fun Day” this Sunday, June 7th
at the YWCA in White Plains, NY. The YWCA is hosting various lectures and activities
to promote better health, fitness, and overall well being for families. I will be there from
12:45pm to 1:15pm speaking on the benefits of acupuncture and holistic medicine. While
many of you already have a good understanding of acupuncture therapy, I would
encourage you to bring a family or friend to learn some additional practical information
that will empower them to take charge of their own health.

After my presentation on acupuncture, I will be giving free chair massages from
1:30pm – 2:30pm.

I hope you can make it and if you cannot, please feel free to forward this
information to your loved ones in search of effective and holistic ways to
better their own health and that of their families.

Self-Healing through Acupressure and Massage

Saturday, March 7, 2009

10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Presenter: Jack Pessin, M.S., L.Ac., L.M.T.

Learn the healing power of acupressure, an easy and effective way to treat various medical conditions. This is an entry-level workshop. For ages, people in Asia have taken care of themselves with a basic knowledge of the energy flow called Chi. Explore what Chi really is. Learn about the female and male energies called Yin and Yang as they relate to the magical Chi within us. Learn to locate basic energetic pathways called meridians, find acupressure points, and access your energy by applying pressure to those areas to facilitate your own innate healing. Headaches, neck and back pain, and stress are among the conditions easily and effectively treated through self-massage. Wear loose comfortable clothing and bring a yoga mat if you have one.

New York Magazine calls Jack Pessin one of the best massage therapists in New York City. A licensed and NCCAOM board certified acupuncturist, massage therapist, and herbalist practicing in Manhattan, Westchester and Fairfield counties, Jack earned a Masters degree in Oriental Medicine from the New York College for Wholistic Health Education and Research. Jack received the honorable Humanitarian Award for his exceptional services with patients in the student clinic. Jack volunteered his services to the American Red Cross and FEMA during the September 11, 2001 tragedy. In private practice as well as in nationally acclaimed spas and medical clinics since 1999, Jack has appeared on “The View” to discuss the benefits of massage therapy for sports related injuries. His article, “The Golden Ratio and Oriental Medicine” was published in the acclaimed North American Journal of Oriental Medicine. In the spring 2008, Jack was featured in The Westchester County Business Journal, and listed in InTown Magazine as a recommended acupuncturist and massage therapist serving Westchester County.
