About Robin Maza

Hey there! I’m Robin Maza, and I’m a licensed and board-certified acupuncturist. I’ve been in the holistic health world for over a decade now, and I’ve got a diverse toolkit that includes Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) acupuncture, Applied Channel Theory, Balance Method, motor point, and dry needling. My specialties? Preconception and menstrual health, prenatal and postpartum care, pelvic floor issues, and orthopedic acupuncture. I love customizing treatments to fit each person’s unique needs!

A Little Bit About My Journey

Back in 2005, I kicked off my career with an Associate’s degree in Massage Therapy in New York City. After getting licensed in 2007, I dove deep into perinatal care with a 30-hour certification in prenatal massage. But I wanted to do even more, so in 2009, I jumped into a four-year master’s program in Acupuncture at the Pacific College of Health Sciences in NYC. Graduating in 2013 after a ton of study (over 3,000 hours!) and hands-on practice, I was licensed and ready to go.

During my time at PCOM, I did extra training in labor and delivery acupuncture and even interned at Lutheran Hospital’s L&D unit in Brooklyn with the amazing Claudia Citkovitz, PhD, MSAc. I also trained as a doula with Debra Pascali Bonaro through DONA International and became certified in placenta encapsulation.

After getting my acupuncture license, I kept digging deeper into birth work and perinatal care, both with acupuncture and as a doula. I did more internships at Lutheran Hospital and studied with Debra Betts L.Ac., a well-known perinatal acupuncturist. These experiences, especially working with low-income families, taught me so much and showed me the incredible power of acupuncture and bodywork in promoting healthy birth outcomes.

But it’s not all about the credentials—I’m also a mom. My personal experiences with pregnancy, birth, and parenting bring a lot of empathy and understanding into my practice. I strive to create a warm, judgment-free space for everyone who comes through my door.

I can’t wait to meet you and support your health journey!
