Andrea L. Coakley, M.S., LAc.
Andrea is a licensed acupuncturist in the state of Connecticut. Her journey with Chinese Medicine began over 20 years ago when she was first introduced to Tai Chi and Qigong. These beautiful arts inspired her to leave a 12-year career in Special Education to go deeper into the heart of Chinese Medicine and begin a new career as an acupuncturist.
Andrea holds a Master of Science degree in Acupuncture from the Swedish Institute’s College of Health Sciences. Her training included the study of Classical Chinese Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) under the guidance of Jeffrey Yuen, an 88th-generation Taoist Priest of the Jade Purity Lao Zi School and Master of Chinese Medicine.
She has practiced in both private and community settings, utilizing different styles of acupuncture since 2008. Andrea continues to enjoy Tai Chi and Qigong, as well as the Afro-Brazilian art of Capoeira. She is certified in various forms of Qigong and particularly enjoys using movement as a healing modality
