I have always loved the life sciences. When I was little, I used to help my mom in the garden, and my dad would talk to me about hematology. Life fascinates me: how it works, and how we work. I particularly love cellular and organismal biology.
When I was in middle school, I started taking some yoga classes. Then, my mom brought home a flier for a tai chi class. That was my first experience of Chinese Medicine. I was amazed at how right it felt, and how I felt so much calmer and better after doing tai chi.
In my last semester of high school, I had the opportunity to shadow an acupuncturist after school twice a week. I was amazed. I heard people's stories. I watched their symptoms diminish. So many patients pulled me aside to say, “This stuff really works!” From then on, I have been on the path of learning acupuncture.
I attended Loyola University Maryland, where I earned a Bachelor's of Science, Summa Cum Laude. I majored in Biology and minored in Asian Studies. I took eight Chinese language classes and spent a semester studying abroad in Beijing, China, where I had the opportunity to witness how Chinese Medicine is practiced there today and to immerse myself in the culture and language that inform it. While at Loyola, I also encountered Community Acupuncture for the first time. Community Acupuncture is a format designed to make acupuncture treatment accessible to all. You can learn more about Community Acupuncture at Village Wellness here. While at Loyola, I also began my study of ju-jitsu, which is an art that, like acupuncture, involves self-knowledge, focus, intention, and a philosophy of redirecting energy.
I began my journey as a healer by studying Reiki I and II with Usui Reiki Master-Teacher Maryann Marian. I earned a Master's in Acupuncture Studies from the Won Institute of Graduate Studies, where I graduated as a co-valedictorian. At the Won, I had the blessing of learning from many teachers who practice diverse acupuncture traditions. I have studied Traditional Chinese Medicine, Five Element Acupuncture in the lineage of J. R. Worsely, sports medicine acupuncture, and the styles Dr. Tan and Kiiko Matsumoto.
In my time as a healing practitioner I have had the honor of helping patients: diminish pain (musculoskeletal, nervous, inflammatory, migraine), improve circulation to extremities, regain sensation in extremities, release chronic tension, reduce stress, process overwhelming emotions, reduce anxiety, lift out of depression, regulate appetite, improve digestion and elimination, reduce excessive urination, regulate the menstrual cycle, improve breathing after bronchitis, experience more restful sleep, feel refreshed and energized, and regain the sense of moving forward in life and overcoming disease.
I want you to help you feel better, feel your best, feel healthy and vital and alive. I look forward to working with you.

I threw my back out and after three days of trying to stretch it out, I realized I should give acupuncture a try for it. Gabrielle has helped me with knots in my shoulder before bringing me great relief so I knew if anyone could help it would be her. I called Village Wellness and they were able to move things around to accommodate a same day appointment. They really care about their community and go above and beyond with every service they provide. I felt so much better after the acupuncture treatment, it relieved the back spasm and has helped speed up my recovery time. - Stephanie M

I've attended three community acupuncture sessions so far. The environment is very relaxing and cozy. Gabrielle is wonderful. She listened carefully to my concerns and thoroughly explained the process before she began treatment (this was my first experience with acupuncture) and always makes sure I'm comfortable. She discussed things I could be doing in between sessions (appropriate amount of rest, ice/heat, etc.) to complement the acupuncture. I'm already noticing less pain! - Jen T.

Been going to VW since it opened over 20 years ago. The experiences have been no less than amazing. However over the past 3-4 community acupuncture treatments the unimaginable has happened. Somehow it was detected that my scalp was really really tight! So, as requested, Gabrielle and Carey have been treating for a more relaxed scalp. Miraculously, my gorgeous locks, which have been thinning during my 60th decade, have blossomed and my hair is as thick as it was decades ago!!!!!!! (Makes sense - tight scalp - reduced blood flow - less hair). Just sayin' - if you're struggling with hair loss, acupuncture may be able to cure that too!!!! - bela ligosi

Having a great experience with Gabrielle. I had arthritis with extreme pain in my foot and ankle. No attacks since I started acupuncture. I was skeptical about acupuncture at first, but wanted to try a different approach besides injections. Have to say now I'm a believer. - Maryellen Caldwell

It takes a Village as they say…. This is a village you won’t want to leave! I am so glad to have started my journey recently with village wellness. My positivity and gratitude have been able to be more easily tapped into and amplified after just 4 sessions with Gaby (AMAZING). Reduction in physical body pains and aches, and deep emotional blooming are just 2 of the most present benefits I have experienced. Whether as a treat for your own selfcare or as a respite for a lived one, get to know Lance and the whole team here at Village Wellness, I chance to wager you’ll be immensely rewarded. Peace! Ben. - Benjamin Martin

Villlage Wellness is an all around 5 star experience. If you're contemplating acupuncture for the first time - this would be a great place to start. Totally down to earth and completely knowledgeable. Additionally, I highly recommend Gabrielle for any musculoskeletal issue. I have been treated for these issues any number of times and Gabrielle totally nails it! It's (almost) unbelievable. ~ Patty

Carey is incredible. I love absolutely everything about Village Wellness, and she even surpasses my 5 star review of this amazing place. I give her 10 stars for her care and concern and how she goes above and beyond in every way to help me heal. I love Gabrielle’s accupuncture as well—she is also soo incredible. She has helped me regain the numbness in one of my fingers. I recently went to see Gabrielle feeling very stuck and left feeling amazing. I could feel the unwinding in my body! Can’t go wrong with anyone here, in my opinion. I have seen Lance as well, he integrates so many modalities into one amazing experience! - Suzanne G.
★★★★★
