Victoria Williams, LAc
Victoria graduated from the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in New York with a dual Master's degree in Acupuncture (MSAc) and Traditional Medicine (MSTOM). As part of my externship, I completed clinical hours at the Columbia University's department of Medical Services, providing orthopedic treatments for patients who were referred by their treating physicians at Columbia Health. This experience allowed me to refine my knowledge of anatomy and muscle functionality and helped me enhance the way I practice acupuncture.
What I truly love about this medicine and the reason it became my passion is the real healing that lasts. I love having the opportunity to engage with so many different people and have the experience of participating in their healing process. Throughout my career, I primarily focused on treating chronic and acute pain conditions, including musculoskeletal pain and sports injuries. In addition to pain management, I offer support for related conditions such as stress, insomnia and digestive ailments.
I'm passionate about educating my patients about the long-term benefits of acupuncture, especially if it's someone who's trying it for the very first time!
