Dr. Cyriacks studied under Medicine Woman Tiffany Carole as part of the Master Healer Program and practices Acupoint Aromatherapy – the use of aromatherapy oils on acupuncture points. Both the oils and acupuncture points have various energetic properties and when combined together provide a powerfully effective, yet calming, treatment.

Acupuncture is extremely effective in treating arthritic pain, back pain, knee pain, arm and hand pain, shoulder pain, neuralgia, stiffness, cramps, aches, etc. Acupuncture is also an effective option for: tendonitis, insomnia, arthritis, headache/migraine, menopause symptoms, fertility, stress, anxiety, gastrointestinal, facial rejuvination, weight loss, and many, many other health issues. Dr. Cyriacks specializes in fertility and women’s health and well being, and is well versed in treating all of the above, as well.

Dr. Cyriacks applies her innate intuition and empathy skills along with traditional educational venues to guide treatment protocols. She is noted for her precision in assessment of mind, body, and spirit and how their interconnectedness impacts one’s health and quality of life. As each person is so uniquely individual their treatment protocol is tailored to what each may require, so quite often, Dr. Cyriacks uses a combination of modalities to address what each patient needs.

Jen Halpern Reiki Master Practitioner, Intuitive Consultant

Fifteen years ago, Jen started down a path to learn about energy healing.  At that time, she was looking for alternative answers to western medicine.  She had no idea what Reiki was or that energy healing was a practice until a friend told her about it. Jen was so intrigued that she decided to study Reiki. As she progressed, Jen started peeling back the layers of her own wounds. She began to witness the healing of deep-rooted emotional issues and severe back pain, which she thought would never end.  

She became inspired by the relief she felt from this different, yet completely effective technique.  Jen knew she wanted to bring Reiki healing to others.

Reiki opened up a whole new road for her to follow. From there, she has incorporated the complementary skills of intuitive consulting to help bring overall spiritual support to her clients.  Jen holds a Reiki Master Certificate from Reiki Essence Healing’s 200-hour program and certification from the Wainwright House with Eileen Savage for Reiki 1 & 2.

Her Intuitive Counseling certificates are with the accredited Holistic Studies Institute in NYC as an Intuitive Consultant and Medium. She has also trained in Intuitive Development with James Van Praagh and the School of Mystical Arts.
