Olivia is a national board-certified acupuncturist licensed in New Jersey. Her early love of movement and creative expression led her to New York City, where she earned her BFA in Musical Theatre from NYU Tisch School of the Arts. During college, she discovered yoga and was drawn to its ability to cultivate awareness, resilience, and balance. In 2016, she earned her 200-hour yoga teacher certification, marking the beginning of a deeper journey into practices that support healing and self-connection.

Olivia’s path to acupuncture began through a series of acupressure workshops at her yoga studio, where she experienced a powerful emotional release from a single point pressed on her arm. That moment ignited her interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine and its capacity to address both physical and emotional health. She went on to earn a Master of Science in Acupuncture from Pacific College of Health and Science in New York City. Her training in both yoga and TCM has shaped a compassionate, patient-centered approach rooted in service, presence, and clinical skill.

Olivia has effectively treated and supported management of anxiety, insomnia, stress, chronic pain, endocrine disorders, and gynecological conditions through the development of personalized treatment plans. Her focus on reproductive health and fertility deepened while working as a Senior Intern at NYC’s premier women’s health acupuncture clinic, The Yinova Center. In addition to her acupuncture practice, she has spent the past ten years teaching Vinyasa, Hot, and Yin Yoga, helping students of all ages reconnect with their bodies. She is also trained in one-on-one assisted stretching to support flexibility, mobility, and pain relief.

Olivia is passionate about supporting women through all stages of health and life transitions. She prioritizes creating a safe, supportive environment where patients feel informed, empowered, and actively involved in their care. Her work blends Chinese Medicine, mindfulness, and integrative health principles to guide patients toward sustainable healing.

Olivia was born and raised in Massachusetts, and though always a New England girl at heart, she now calls Montclair, NJ home. She, her husband and young daughter feel lucky to live in such a thriving and diverse community.

Kirsti is a New Jersey Licensed Massage Therapist who has been practicing since 2014. Originally from Verona, New Jersey, she is excited to be working with the community she grew up in and to bring her experience and passion for massage therapy to Clear Mountain Acupuncture.

Kirsti received her massage therapy training at Anthem Institute in Parsippany, New Jersey, and has continued to expand her education through a variety of continuing education courses, including prenatal and postnatal massage, assisted stretching, and other therapeutic techniques.

Throughout her career, Kirsti has worked in a variety of settings, including a chiropractic office, boutique spa, and Massage Envy. These experiences have allowed her to work with a diverse range of clients and develop a versatile approach to massage. Her specialties include prenatal and postnatal massage, as well as focused neck and shoulder work.

Kirsti’s approach is intuitive, thoughtful, and highly individualized. A natural tactile learner, she has always understood the world through touch. She also loves solving puzzles, which translates naturally into her work: during each treatment, she pays close attention to areas of tension and patterns throughout the body, using what she feels beneath her hands to better understand what each client needs.

She particularly enjoys working with the neck and shoulders, where stress, posture, and everyday activities can often contribute to tension. She is also passionate about supporting clients throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period, adapting each treatment to prioritize comfort, relaxation, and supportive hands-on care.

Kirsti believes that every body tells a story, and that effective massage begins with listening. By combining her years of experience, continuing education, and intuitive approach to touch, she creates personalized treatments designed to help each client feel more comfortable, relaxed, and connected to their body.

Outside of the treatment room, Kirsti enjoys exploring new crafts, film photography, bowling, reading, and taking group workout classes in town. She values balance in her own life and believes that making time to slow down and care for yourself is important for everyone.
