About Elisabeth:
Elisabeth Horesh is an acupuncturist and practitioner of Chinese herbal medicine at Groton Wellness. While finishing her Master’s Degree in Oriental Medicine, she implemented a three-tiered approach to patient wellness using acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and basic Chinese medical nutrition as an effective means to treat many common health issues. Using this approach, Elisabeth specifically tailors treatments based on her patient’s symptoms and overall constitution. By addressing the root of an individual’s problem rather than the symptoms, she has successfully treated chronic and acute pain, anxiety, depression, digestive problems, asthma, allergies, women’s health and fertility, and many other conditions.

Why did you become an acupuncturist?
I began experiencing some health problems while working in a fast-paced corporate environmental consulting company.  After trying a few western approaches with minimal success, I found acupuncture and Chinese herbs. This form of medicine helped me get to the root of my problems, and I began to experience more energy, less stress, and better overall health almost immediately.  At the time, I was also looking into careers that would enable me to help people on a personal level.  After my first treatment I began researching Master’s Degree programs in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine and realized this was the direction I wanted my life to take.

What’s your favorite part of your job?
Being reminded everyday how each person is so incredibly different.

What’s the best advice you’ve received?
My grandfather once told me that you should always have your eye on your ultimate goals, and all of your decisions should push you closer and closer to those goals.

What fascinates you most about the human body?
How quickly the mind/body begins to heal itself when given the right tools and encouragement.

What are your hobbies?
Hiking, camping, doing yoga, and running with my husband and dog, Sadie.  I also love preparing meals surrounded by my family and friends.

Where do you go to escape the office?
Being outdoors in the natural environment grounds me and helps to me appreciate how we are all just one small part of a much bigger picture.

What’s your favorite book?
Healing with Whole Foods by Paul Pitchford, and The Web that Has No Weaver by Ted Kaptchuk.
