Christy Allen is a Sports Medicine Acupuncturist, Massage Therapist, Esthetician, and Yoga Instructor. She studied massage and assisted anatomy at the Swedish Institute. She has studied yoga with Rodney Yee, Judith Lasater, and Brooke Myers. To expand her offerings, she graduated from Tri-State College of Acupuncture, where she earned her Master of Science degree.

Since 1998, she has combined Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Thai Massage with Reiki and Yoga, based on client needs. She has experience working with professional athletes, musicians, and performers, as well as pre/post-natal, injury rehab, MS, and cancer.

In 2011 she became a research intern in the Psychosocial Oncology Program in Mind-Body applications at the Montefiore-Einstein Cancer Center. She has since gained valuable experience working in the Integrative Medicine Departments of NYU and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

She has also volunteered offering yoga to clients affected by cancer at Gilda’s Club, massage for HIV/AIDS and hospice, and Therapy Dog work.

She is grateful to be able to share the art of acupuncture and bodywork with her clients.
