Dr. Bastress is a Nationally Board-Certified Licensed Acupuncturist. He earned a master’s degree at the Traditional Acupuncture Institute in Columbia, Maryland, in 1999. He is a 2003 graduate of the Jaffe Institute of Spiritual and Medical Healing with a specialty in Spiritual Ministry. He earned a Masters in medical Qigong in 2016 and his doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from the Pacific College of Health and Science in 2022.

Robert has more than twenty four years of experience in private practice. He specializes in natural allergy elimination, electro-acupuncture, neuro-acupuncture, digestive disorders, and women’s health. He has studied with Acupuncture Master Teachers from China and uses a combination of Dr. Tan’s balance method as well as Dr. Ming Qing Zhu’s and Dr. Huo’s scalp acupuncture techniques.

He has trained in special allergy elimination treatments including SAAT (acupuncture) and BioSET (laser) allergy elimination techniques.

He includes Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) as a diagnostic method that uses applied kinesiology to evaluate the nervous system, glands and organs for hidden stress from foods, environmental pathogens, heavy metals, toxic chemicals, and scars that interfere with healing.

His background in Sufi spiritual ministry complements the acupuncture sessions. Research shows that painful emotions, especially from childhood, are associated with most chronic ailments. Spiritual healing focuses on connection with The Divine (or whatever helps you to connect to Love) to receive compassion and brings healing, peace, wisdom and resolution to the heart.

He provides free community lectures discussing holistic approaches to headaches and migraines, chronic pain, digestive issues, allergies and asthma, and women’s health. He teaches classes in crane style and medical Qigong exercises.

Robert shares, “I had migraines, vomiting, night sweats and bowel issues from the age of six. Medical exams including bloodwork, x-rays, and sonograms revealed no issues nor help. This lead me on a journey to discover the root of my health issues through acupuncture, herbs, qigong, and spiritual healing. Healing and self-cultivation are an ongoing journey. As Rumi says, “The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” Acupuncture and holistic approaches have helped me tremendously. It would be my pleasure to get to the root of what’s causing your health issues and help you too!”

Roxanne began her journey in the healthcare industry as a Peabody High School student in the first responder program; when she graduated in 1999 she had gained enough skills to become a first responder. She earned a Bachelor’s Degree in General Business Management from the University of Pittsburgh in 2004– in the areas of Human Resources and Marketing. Along with a passion for helping people, she has always been an entrepreneur, artist, and community activist.

After college, Roxanne went on to work in a variety of fields - a testament to her creativity and love for community. Somewhere along this journey she found massage therapy and fell in love with it. In 2007 she started a Massage Therapy certification program, and has been practicing as a Massage Therapist ever since.

Roxanne has been a Level III comprehensively certified classical Pilates instructor since 2013 along with certification as a Yoga Instructor. She recognizes one of the biggest challenges to people staying with a workout regimen is knowing what to do outside of the gym or studio. Therefore, she enjoys tailoring her training sessions to the individual by working in the client’s real life environment with the tools available to them.

While always being a “lightworker” by nature, she attained her Reiki attunements, and has been a certified Reiki Master since early 2022.

The combined knowledge she has gained of people’s strengths, weaknesses, and imbalances; the ways that the body, mind, “spirit”, past and present, heredity, rest, and nutrition are all connected; the patterns she came to recognize between the ways we are in training vs. the way we are in life; the patterns and methods of healing she found in her own self-exploration and study; and all of the different modalities she is trained in – have helped her to develop her own unique style she calls Mind-Body Therapy.

When you book a massage session with her, you will truly be experiencing holistic wellness through Mind-Body Therapy.
