Meet Your Practitioner
Zelene Quiles has been practicing Chinese Medicine for 20 years and uses a gentle needle technique. In 2005 she graduated from Pacific College of Health Sciences in New York City where she studied biomedical sciences, acupuncture and herbal medicine. She holds a Masters of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine and is a licensed acupuncturist. Zelene spent eight years working in a drug abuse treatment center in Brooklyn providing acupuncture to alleviate stress, anxiety, pain, withdrawals symptoms, depression and digestive complaints. She also has extensive experience treating pain and injuries due to trauma. She has training to support cancer patients from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. She studied in New Mexico at the Neuro-Acupuncture Institute and earned her level 2 certification to treat neurological disorders due to disease or trauma to the brain and spinal cord.
After discovering the profound effects of flower essences, Zelene became a Level 1 certified practitioner by the Bach Center in England to make custom flower essence bottles for clients, which helps on an energetic level with challenging mental and emotional habits.
Due to her extensive interest in meditation and spirituality, she has studied martial arts, learned energy healing modalities such as Theta healing, Integrated Energy Technique, shamanic journeys, breath work and participated in numerous indigenous healing ceremonies.
Zelene is passionate about educating clients about holistic healing to empower them to make positive choices for their health and their lives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept insurance?
We do not accept insurance. We can provide patients with a superbill to submit to their insurance for reimbursement. You will want to ask if your insurance policy covers out-of-network acupuncture benefits to determine if you will be re-imbursed or we can call for you. This prevents insurances from dictating treatments and allows us to focus solely on our patients' care instead of on excessive paperwork.
Who can benefit from your treatments?
Everyone can benefit from acupuncture as there are no health conditions that exclude a person from receiving acupuncture. I have experience treating babies, children, teens, adults and seniors. For young children and people who are needle-sensitive, cold laser therapy is an effective alternative to using needles.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient form of Chinese Medicine that has been used for over 5000 years to restore the body back to a state of health and harmony. It involves the delicate placement of very fine needles at specific points on the body to elicit a healing response. By gently stimulating specific points, we can boost your body's own natural healing mechanisms to promote faster and more efficient healing, repair and organ function. Used alone or in together with other forms of medicine or therapies, acupuncture is a safe and effective method to get you back to a healthier lifestyle, without the inconveniences and dangers of side effects.
I'm Afraid of Needles! Does It Hurt?
NO! Most people don't like needles and assume acupuncture will feel the same as when you get your blood drawn or like a vaccination shot. I can assure you that it does not! The needles used for acupuncture are not the same needles used to take blood. They are hair-thin, similar to a cat's whisker and very flexible. When the needle is inserted, you may feel a tiny pinch, like a bug bite, or you may not even feel it all! (Plucking your eyebrows hurts much more than acupuncture!) The most frequent reaction I have received from patients over the years is, "That's it? It's in?"
YES! All needles are pre-sterilized, used only once, and then properly discarded. There is no medication or any substance on the needles, they are just plain stainless steel. It is important that you see a state licensed practitioner who has been properly trained. You can check to see if someone is licensed to practice acupuncture in NJ at the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs website at https://newjersey.mylicense.com/verification/
Is Acupuncture Safe?
Welcome to your first treatment experience! Your session will last about 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on your specific needs. After completing a medical history form, we’ll discuss your concerns and potential treatment plans. You’ll then relax comfortably on a massage table and enjoy soothing music during the treatment for about 20-30 minutes. To ensure comfort, please wear loose clothing and have a light meal prior to your appointment.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
What Can I Expect At My First Treatment?
It’s important to understand that most individuals experience improvement within1-4 treatments, typically benefiting from weekly treatments over several weeks. Remember, everyone's body is unique; a recent issue may heal faster than a long-standing condition. For more serious ailments, 2-3 treatments per week may be necessary for optimal results. Regular treatment is key—occasional visits may not yield noticeable benefits, so consider a tune-up when you feel something’s off. After all, an ounce of prevention goes long way!
