Dr. Eileen Li, PT, DPT, L.Ac

I am a second-generation licensed acupuncturist, Chinese medicine herbalist, and licensed physical therapist, practicing in Greenwich, Connecticut, and throughout Fairfield County.

My healing journey began as a physical therapist after earning my clinical doctorate from Simmons University in Boston, MA. In the years that followed, I specialized in chronic pain research, pediatrics, geriatrics, inpatient psychiatry, and school-based therapy. I also co-authored articles in leading journals like PAIN and the Physical Therapy Journal, advancing the research on chronic pain management.

Growing up with a mother who is also an acupuncturist, I was immersed in Chinese medicine from a young age. It helped me recover from migraines, sports injuries, and the common cold. This experience inspired me to pursue a deeper understanding of acupuncture and herbal medicine. In 2020, I earned my master’s degree from the New England School of Acupuncture at MCPHS University in Worcester, MA.

With over 10 years of clinical experience and over 27 years of Chinese medicine influence, I continue to expand my knowledge as the field of health and medicine evolves.

I am deeply passionate about helping others achieve their full potential in both physical and mental health, and I look forward to connecting with you on your journey to wellness.
