Dr. Peggy Regis Robinson

Dr. Peggy Regis Robinson believes that choosing and maintaining wellness is empowering. A balanced mind, body and spirit are critical to living life to its fullest. Her Haitian heritage and upbringing and her deep connection to faith and family are what  inspired in her a passion for humanitarianism and healing. Her earliest sense of self and purpose carried within it a firm resolve to help others. She began her adult life as a community organizer and activist, but soon holistic health care, and Traditional Chinese Medicine in particular became her focus. She saw first-hand the need for alternative healthcare modalities in the community and knew she could use her knowledge and skills to heal, both physically and mentally; and to empower. 

​

Dr. Robinson is an Acupuncturist, Chinese Herbalist and Ethnobotanist licensed to practice in New York and North Carolina with degrees of Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and Master of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine from Pacific College of Health and Science. Her focus with her patients is on using her decades of knowledge and expertise to compassionately discover and treat the root of a problem; not just its symptoms.

During the Covid-19 crisis Peggy found new ways to heal through online workshops and tutorials in which she taught simple acupressure techniques and breathing  for stress relief as well as Gua Sha for self care and recovery after those long days in front of a screen. She became a resource for her fellow parents around how to keep children focused, calm and joyful in uncertain times. She continues to offer online retreats for corporate and private clients and continues to lead and inform through blog posts and social media where seh regularly  shares  her thoughts, tips,  and activism.

Wellness makes a powerful difference.
