Constance Fraser, RN, L.Ac.
I am a New Jersey licensed acupuncturist since 1997. Currently I am a clinic supervisor and instructor of clinical skills at Eastern School of Acupuncture located in Bloomfield, NJ since 2012.
I injured my back in athletics as a teenager and sustained various sports, aikido, and kick-boxing injuries along the way. In college I completed pre-med and considered a future in medicine. A martial arts teacher encouraged me to pursue acupuncture.
I earned a master’s degree in acupuncture and Chinese herbology at New York College of Health Professions in 1996. Since graduation, I have continued my education in nursing, bodywork, neuroscience and qigong. Currently I practice anatomy-based acupuncture.
Common issues I treat include anxiety, stress, headaches, TMJ, plantar fasciitis, insomnia and female wellness concerns. It is greatly rewarding to help a person feel more invigorated, positive, and healthy.

release your “feel good” hormones (endorphins, serotonin,
dopamine, oxytocin), and regenerate healthy cells.
