Why Great Education Matters: A Look Inside New York Acupuncture Education
At Gotham Acupuncture, we believe that good care begins with great training. That’s why we’re proud to support and be part of New York Acupuncture Education (NYAE) — a next-generation teaching platform that’s helping shape the future of Chinese Medicine.
Founded on the belief that real healing requires both skill and intuition, NYAE focuses on training acupuncturists through small class sizes, affordable access, and mentorship from real-world practitioners.
🎓 Bridging the Clinic and the Classroom
Our very own Dr. Peter Caron is proud to serve as one of NYAE’s instructors. With over 20,000 treatments performed and years of teaching at top acupuncture schools, Dr. Caron brings deep clinical insight into every lesson — blending classical theory with modern practice.
“Teaching keeps me sharp. It reminds me that healing is a lifelong learning process — and I want to pass that mindset on to every student.”
– Dr. Peter Caron, DACM
He teaches alongside other experienced clinicians, including movement specialist and educator Laura Sifuentez, who brings expertise in functional anatomy and spine rehabilitation.
