About Paolo

Always fascinated by natural healing, spirituality and philosophy, Paolo started his journey as an acupuncturist by apprenticing for three years at Bridge, then earned his Masters-level degree in acupuncture from Eastern School of Acupuncture in 2014. He later received his certification in Chinese Herbal Medicine from the Won Institute of Graduate Studies in 2022.

With extensive personal study under masters Kiiko Matsumoto and Jeffrey Yuen, Paolo specializes in Japanese and Classical Chinese acupuncture styles. He is experienced as a teacher of meditation, Qi Gong, and body-mind healing.

“Acupuncture became a staple of my own healthcare after it saved me from surgery on a chronic sinus issue. After years of teaching meditation in Bucks County and Florence, Italy, acupuncture seemed like a natural progression to expand my practice of studying the complexities of human nature. It's a joy to now be able to offer its amazing potential to support the healing of others.”
