Your Trusted Acupuncture & Massage Therapy in Albany, NY
Founded in 2015, Wellness Roots Acupuncture & Massage Therapy was established by Dr. Liz DiNapoli Lemire, a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine with dual licensure in acupuncture and massage therapy. My journey into holistic medicine began through personal struggle with chronic pain and health conditions, including migraines, TMJ, and autoimmune challenges, which I successfully managed through acupuncture and massage therapy. This transformative experience inspired me to transition from a nonprofit career to formal education at Pacific College of Health and Science, where I earned both a Doctorate and Master's in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. My clinical expertise spans treating thousands of patients with diverse health concerns, informed by my own lived experience with chronic illness and advanced training in Five Element Constitutional Acupuncture, labor and delivery acupuncture, and pediatric care.I integrate Eastern and Western modalitiesincluding Swedish, Deep Tissue, Tui Na, and Myofascial Releaseto create personalized treatment plans. As a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine certified by NCCAOM, I maintain active memberships in the Acupuncture Society of New York and American Massage Therapy Association. My practice emphasizes compassionate care, patient education, and creating a healing environment that addresses physical, emotional, and energetic well-being through evidence-based traditional practices.

Your initial appointment includes a comprehensive health assessment, treatment plan development, and first acupuncture session lasting up to two hours.

We provide superbill receipts for potential insurance reimbursement. Check with your provider about out-of-network acupuncture and massage therapy coverage.
