Gallop into the Chinese New Year Healthy
The Eastern School of Acupuncture celebrates the Chinese New Year of 2014, the year of the Horse. This
holiday is dear to many acupuncturists because acupuncture originates from the roots of Ancient Chinese Medicine.
So if many of you had a tough start in January trying to accomplish your New Year’s resolutions to live a healthier
lifestyle, now is your second chance to a fresh start. Having an acupuncture treatment on a regular basis can be very
beneficial to your health. So stop procrastinating, and make an appointment at our intern clinic at 973-746-2848.
The Eastern School wishes you a healthy Chinese New Year!!!
Please join Eastern School alumnus Aleksandra Mihajlovic. She will be teaching a class on
Principles of Chinese Nutrition.

3 Tuesdays 7:30-9pm, starting Feb 25th

Joe has been an Eastern School Clinical Supervisor since the summer of 2012. He describes his first day of observation as
follows, “I stepped into the clinic, and watched, and listened, and absolutely loved every second of it. I counted the minutes for
a couple of weeks to pass and my own shift to begin.”
An acupuncturist, herbalist, and naturopath, Joe was born and raised in Jersey City and for the past fourteen years has been
living and practicing in Hoboken, focusing on whole body health, geriatrics, musculoskeletal care, and natural food education.
Having been a student of herbalist priest Jeffrey Yuen, and a long time student and apprentice of Master Western Herbalist
David Simon, his lifelong fascination with health and longevity began at age 7. That year at Christmas, he received his first
book on nutrition, a gift from his brother-in-law. Joe didn’t know what all the words meant, but eventually learned, and read
that book so many times that it literally fell apart. His introduction to acupuncture came also as a young boy, when President
Nixon went to China. He recalls, “There was a news report that one of his aides had emergency surgery and the doctors used
acupuncture during the operation. I asked my father what acupuncture was and he told me that doctors place needles in your
body when you are sick to help you get well. Of course I didn’t realize that years later I would become an acupuncturist.” Joe
has long modeled his practice after the 19th century physio-medicalist country doctors, when patients were like family and a
physician would tend you when you’re sick but would also help raise a barn, fix a roof, cook a meal, or preach in a frontier
church.
When not in the kitchen preparing arugula salad, broccoli rabe, or making a fresh green juice, Joe can be found cross country
skiing, surfing a longboard, or singing and playing guitar as part of the popular acoustic combo, The Tribe of Uncles. If you don’t
see him in any of these places, stop in and say hello at Hudson Healing Arts in Hoboken.
Some of his favorite quotes:
“Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you. “ “Love turns work into rest.” - St. Teresa of Avila
“The mature man lives quietly, does good privately, assumes personal responsibility, treats others with friendliness and
courtesy.” - Kenneth Rexroth
“When the wave comes, best not to fight.” - Sal the Surfing Barber

Acupuncture Success Stories
“In 2011, I was suffering from severe knee pain and on certain occasions I would limp due to
the discomfort. I visited my primary doctor and after the exam, pain medicine was prescribed
and a referral was given to visit an orthopedic specialist. I never made the call to the
orthopedic specialist because I was afraid he would suggest surgery, so I decided to do some
research and found Acupuncture. I remember making my first appointment in November of
2011 at the Eastern School of Acupuncture and after a few consecutive treatments I started
feeling better. Today, I am pain free and do not require any pain medicine or surgery. I
am very fortunate I found Acupuncture because not only has it helped me with my knee, it has
helped my sinus and back issues. I tell everyone my story and I highly
recommend Acupuncture to treat any ailment one may be experiencing.” – Jennifer
Manderichio
_____________________________________________________________________________
“I remember not knowing what acupuncture was until I started working at the Eastern School
of Acupuncture. It was until one of the clinic interns at the time, Joan Spitz, who is now an
alumnus of the school suggested that I come into clinic for treatments. I did not know what to
expect but I was curious to try it out. At first I was nervous just by looking at the needles and
thinking “What did I get myself into?”, but I remember Joan being there to comfort me and
assure me that I would feel so relaxed after this treatment. After many health questions and
palpations, Joan and the clinic supervisor agreed on the points they would focus on to help me
with my anemia and lack of energy. I recall falling asleep on the massage table and feeling so
relaxed. I did not need to make frequent doctor visits or take medicine with awful side effects
anymore. Overall, Acupuncture improved my health and made me feel like a brand new person
after every treatment. I would recommend anyone to try Acupuncture at least once in their
life!” – Erika Burgos
