Our Practitioners

Chaliyah Penick, M.Ac, L.Ac., Dipl.Ac. (NCCAOM)® is a board certified, state licensed (NJ & PA) acupuncturist, and holds a Master’s degree from Won Institute of Graduate Studies in Glenside, Pennsylvania. Prior to studying Oriental medicine, she studied sociology at both Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey and the University of Westminster in London, England before going on to graduate with honors from Rowan University. Prior to enrolling in acupuncture school, she worked hands on with preschool students in the classroom setting. Despite loving her position working with toddlers (the little people), Chaliyah wanted to fulfill her life’s work of helping people to discover the healing benefits of natural and holistic lifestyle choices. She was motivated to help people understand the medicinal benefit of balanced and proper food selection, as well as getting in tune with the innate intelligence of the human body to prevent and heal illness.

Chaliyah’s interest in natural medicine stemmed from her personal health experiences that responded positively to diet changes, consistent exercise, and receiving acupuncture. The culmination of these experiences as well as personal education and research led her on a path of dedicating her life to the study and practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
