Dr. Phyllis S. Russo—known to many as The MamaShaman—blends science and spirit to guide deep, lasting healing. A chiropractic physician, licensed acupuncturist, functional medicine practitioner, and certified mental health counselor, she brings a rare integrative lens to the healing arts. Through her wellness brand, Dr. Livewell, she works at the intersection of neuro-endocrine regulation, emotional health, and the body’s innate capacity to heal.
At this meetup, Dr. Russo will be offering a focused talk on acupuncture—exploring how this ancient medical system works, why it remains profoundly relevant today, and how it can be applied to modern health challenges. Depending on the setting, she may also offer a live demonstration to help participants better understand what acupuncture looks and feels like in practice.
Topics will include:
• The foundational theory behind acupuncture, including qi, meridians, and the Five Element system
• How acupuncture protocols are tailored for different conditions such as pain, stress, hormonal imbalance, autoimmune patterns, and emotional regulation
• How acupuncture bridges physical, emotional, and energetic healing—and why integration matters
Her personal healing journey through autoimmune illness, trauma, and spiritual awakening informs both her teaching and clinical approach, bringing depth, clarity, and lived experience to the work.
If time permits, the talk will end with a meditation.
