After winning Best Acupuncture in the Hudson Valley, we needed to meet the growing demand for our acupuncture services by bringing on another incredible acupuncturist. We have known Sharon as a dear colleague and friend for some time now; many of our team members met her at our Pellegrino Integrative Cancer Center Grand Opening last fall. Sharon moving back to the Hudson Valley from California seemed to work out in perfect timing with the expansion of our new space and the demand for more acupuncture availability. Learn more about our new and amazing team member Sharon below! 

“My approach to helping patients is eclectic and resourceful. It consists of acupuncture styles alongside an individually designed treatment plan. My goal is to inspire healthy transformation for the betterment of one's life in a way that best reaches the individual.”

-Sharon Zeiss, MS, L.Ac.

Sharon Zeiss, MS, L.Ac. brings extensive holistic healing experience to the Pellegrino community, working in the wellness world for over 30 years. In 2000, Sharon received her Masters in Traditional Oriental Medicine in California. She is state board certified in acupuncture and herbal medicine in both New York and California, having completed postgraduate studies in the fields of functional nutrition, mindfulness practices, and herbal medicine with an emphasis on brain and inflammatory conditions. Sharon provides a gentle technique using an individualized holistic healing approach that combines acupuncture with nutrition, mind-body techniques, and other effective healing modalities. 

Sharon has worked with diverse populations and cultures, successfully treating those looking to address chronic pain, trauma, cancer, chronic illness, immunity, and more. Having a unique understanding of patients’ needs and limitations she has used her skill set to help those in multidisciplinary clinics, hospitals, health food stores, yoga/retreat centers, stress and anger reduction workshops, and her own holistic practice. Sharon is Community Emergency Response Team Certified and also certified in AWB trauma-based group style acupuncture. Additionally, she has volunteered to help hospice patients, patients at a low-income clinic for women with cancer, and victims of the California fires and their first responders (Fire Fighters, Nurses, and Social Workers).

In her spare time, Sharon enjoys researching all types of healing modalities, being with her beloved pets, meeting new people, eating healthy gourmet cooking, crafting, and indulging in live music, dance, art, and nature.

Our acupuncture clinic is a unique opportunity to experience the synergy of support and healing in a community setting. Group acupuncture is a time-tested practice that is deeply healing and comforting. This is a quiet, no-talking gathering where participants can soften into their treatment in stillness. Aromatherapy, healing music, and our special style of treatment will allow you to melt into relaxation.

We now have two estheticians who are ready to help you reach your healthy skin goals: Chelsea Landolfa, LMT, LE, and Ashley Castellana, LE. Our estheicians will be providing a "Healing Skin Care Tip" each month in every Pellegrino Insider newsletter.

Our first tip comes from Chelsea:

Summer isn’t over yet so remember to use a good SPF! The majority of skin sun damage happens when we are younger and then surfaces as we age. Reapply sunscreen every 80 minutes when you are out and about since we absorb and sweat off sunscreen after a certain amount of time. UV rays penetrate clouds so stay protected even on overcast days. 

When choosing a sunscreen, be sure to avoid products with the following toxic ingredients:

• Oxybenzone

• Avobenzone

• Octinoxate

• Octocrylene

• Octisalate
