Irina Stojanovic, Lic Ac
I am a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist, holding a Master’s degree in Oriental Medicine from the New England School of Acupuncture at MCPHS University, and am nationally board-certified as a Diplomate in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology (Dipl. OM) by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).
Before dedicating myself to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), I earned a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Southern California and founded an online educational platform offering interactive math and reading games for children. This background in science and technology deepened my appreciation for systems thinking—something I now apply to the intricate complexity of the human body.
My journey into natural medicine was guided by a lifelong belief in the body’s innate ability to heal. What drew me to TCM is its profound relevance—even after thousands of years. Modern science is now validating concepts long central to Chinese medicine: the gut-brain connection, the nervous system’s role in immunity, and the inseparability of mental and physical health. TCM doesn’t just treat symptoms; it identifies and corrects the root imbalances behind illness.
TCM is a medical system in its own right and can tackle any health issue that people may have. The conditions I commonly see in my clinic include women's health problems, migraines, chronic pain, vertigo and dizziness, anxiety and depression.
My favorite quote is by a Taoist philosopher Lao-Tzu: "A journey of thousand miles begins with a single step". Even if recovery to health can be challenging, it is important to make that first step that will start us on the road to better health.
