Hayley Mermelstein has been practicing Chinese medicine for 15 years. Her interest in Chinese Medicine began in 1987 when she met her Shiatsu teacher, Janet Murphy, while attending the University of Massachusetts. Hayley designed her own major and graduated with a degree in Shiatsu. Hayley then opened her Shiatsu practice in the town of Amherst and in 1997 began studying with Tom Tam. She was deeply influenced by Tom’s work as an acupuncturist and energy healer and apprenticed with Tom for five years. In the year 2000 Hayley returned to school to formally study acupuncture and Chinese Herbs. She graduated from the New England School of Acupuncture and White Pine Healing Arts in 2003. Currently Hayley maintains an Acupuncture, Chinese herb and Shiatsu practice and is the founder and director of The Clinic For Adjustive Therapies.

Hayley has been inspired over the last fifteen years of her practice by the quote, ”All healing is becoming your true self.” It is her desire that her work aid her clients in their process of healing and in their process of becoming more fully themselves.
