Dr. Courtney Fitzgerald is a licensed acupuncturist in New York and Massachusetts, as well as an NCCAOM board-certified Herbalist. She holds a Doctorate and Masters in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from Pacific College of Health and Science. She grew up in New England and attended New York University, where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theater.
While at Pacific College, Courtney treated patients in the school clinic as well as within the Integrative Oncology department at Rush University Medical Center, and at the Jesse Brown Department of Veteran Affairs Medical Center. She has a special interest in in psycho-emotional disorders, sports medicine acupuncture, supportive oncology, and geriatric care, and regularly treats patients with pain management, depression and anxiety, addiction, menstrual disorders, and gastrointestinal disorders.
Courtney donates a portion of her monthly acupuncture income to Chinese for Affirmative Action (CAA), an organization whose mission is to “protect the civil and political rights of Chinese Americans and to advance multiracial democracy in the United States.” Acupuncture’s presence in the United States owes everything to Chinese immigrants who generously shared the history and practice of Chinese Medicine.
Courtney has been a certified yoga teacher for 12 years and has a large private client practice both in person and online. In Hudson, she teaches weekly at Lava Hot Yoga. Her personalized instruction facilitates joint stability, muscle building and stretching to help her students live with less stiffness, joint pain and injury so that they might feel as stable and pliant as possible through every season of life.
In her spare time, Courtney loves to hike, bike, read novels in the bath, and spend time with her family and friends.
