Announcing our June Virtual Expert Presentation given by Megan Bielinski, L.Ac.

Megan works at Milwaukee Community Acupuncture in Milwaukee's Bay View neighborhood. She is currently serving as the Vice President of the Wisconsin Society of Acupuncturists and is committed to the proliferation and education of acupuncture. Megan first experienced the benefits of acupuncture as a patient. After experiencing severe migraines for years and being unsatisfied with the relief provided by traditional western medicine, Megan found that her condition improved dramatically with acupuncture. Not long after Megan learned that Chinese Medicine could help control her migraines, she began pursuing her master’s degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in Chicago.
